![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## Freewrite Info, Contests, Tips and More ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) If you don't know what a freewrite is, [here is a link to the introduction post.](https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/writers-or-wanna-be-writers-wanted-be-free-freewrite) [Here is @snook's excellent tutorial on how to join our freewrite adventure](https://steemit.com/freewrite/@snook/easy-how-to-for-mariannewest-s-daily-freewrite-challenge) And @improv's input: > Two things I do a little differently. I just type "timer" into google and it pops up a 5-minute timer. I also type directly into steemit. I also rarely use a photo, don't I? So that's three things. #### Please read, comment and vote (if you have voting power) on each others freewrites as much as you can. Especially if you are new to the platform, you will be surprised how many friendships are formed by reading and commenting on each other's work! ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## Contests by our Fellow Freewriters ### If you are running a contest let me know, I will list it here 😄 * @felt.buzz brought back the #zapfic contest!! Write a story in 240 characters! * @improv is the master of puns! Enter his Punday contest at his profile @improv. * @whatisnew - Every Thursday a Nature related photo contest. ## Ongoing Contests by supporters of the Freewriters * Garden Corner by @sustainablelivin - Win SBI when you share your garden pics and stories. * Drawing/Comic Contest by @organduo: Pinky And Spiky Drawing Contest * @deemarshall Artstorm contests ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) Let's Do Community!!! As many of you know, we have a Spanish speaking Freewrite effort going on. The fearless leader is @latino.romano who is putting a lot of effort into building the Spanish language community. Thank you!! But that is not what I want to talk about today. I want to talk about Venezuela. If you listen to the news at all, you know that the country is having a lot of difficulties right now - and many are suffering. I know that we can't change the country or help all that are suffering right now. But we can help our Freewrite Community members - at least a little bit. Please, upvote the following people as often as you possibly can! @lacl @latino.romano @teresah @seifiro @dranuvar And try to sponsor them into SBI. ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) * We are thinking of doing a collaboration workshop on how to get a manuscript ready for publishing. Let me know if you are interested - both, to either share your expertise and/or to learn... Starting a Beta Reader Group now. ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) *If you have a business on Steem you want to share, let me know. I will start a dedicated section in the resource portion of the prompt posts*. ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## Spanish Freewrite Initiative The Daily Prompt is now also being published in Spanish and a Spanish language community is forming. @latino.romano is the leader of the community and I am sure, he would love for you to stop by and say hello - in any language. If you are bilingual, please feel free to publish you freewrite in both languages and drop the link at both Daily Prompt posts. Está publicada la versión en español de hoy @latino.romano ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## German Freewrite Initiative @isarmoewe is starting to publish the Freewrite prompt in German Monday through Saturday. A lovely community is already forming. Please visit her blog and tell all your German friends! Many of the Freewrite House Contests will be in German, Spanish, and English. ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## A Contest I found You Might Want to Enter. * (An easy contest to win SBI. Just leave a comment. It is called: Steem Basic Income 72h Raffle and repeats on a regular basis. Visit @elleok and find the latest raffle.) - on hold for University exams * @thedarkhorse is running a weekly contest for a delegation for newbies who have less than 100 SP in their wallet. Visit his profile for the latest contest post. ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## Voting Remember to check your voting power. https://www.steemnow.com/ or use https://steemworld.org/ * I am not sure if the following is still correct. If your vote is below 0.03 - this is a must read by @thedarkhorse. [Vote Dust](https://steemit.com/steemit/@thedarkhorse/your-2-cent-vote-is-worthless-the-real-deal-on-dust-votes) This is an initiative called @dustsweeper that is helping all of you [who deal with vote dust](Here is an initiative to help all of you who are dealing with voting dust. [find the details here](https://steemit.com/community/@dustsweeper/ann-introducing-dustsweeper-a-new-service-to-turn-dust-into-profit)) Also, check out @dustbunny - it is structured differently with the same goal in mind ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## Writing help * A free app: Grammarly. A lot of us are not native English speakers and I am finding it a helpful app. It will underline spelling and grammar mistakes. Just remember that is is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. [Here is the link](https://app.grammarly.com/) * Remember [The Most Dangerous Writing App](http://www.themostdangerouswritingapp.com/). You set the time - 5 min - and start typing. Don’t stop!!! It will destroy what you wrote if you stop for more than 3 seconds - and backspace does not count as writing on the app. If you are prone to stop and think - this app forces you to keep going. You can make corrections after the 5 minutes are over. * A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. [Here is the link](http://e.ggtimer.com/) * I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. [10 fast fingers](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english * The discord channel *Isle of Write* has workshop rooms for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry where some of the experienced writers might be able to give some tips. Join with this link https://discord.gg/zfXNRnK * If you are ready to get serious about improving your understanding of the English language check out @majes.tytyty blog. He has lots of useful information to understand words and their roots better. If you have questions or need help, leave a comment on his blog. * If you know of other helpful tools or people, please share with us! ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) [![beta reg banner.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdRLXhhWAbGmJEXcQg38bcUXHb5WKmoD9TvD2EbN5Znow/beta%20reg%20banner.png)](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc2bG6YbLh_LCw-vjjUiv-jeLT9N46pMTps15Xw8Ea8qGCFVQ/viewform?usp=sf_link) ![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png) ## Money There are many contests on Steemit.
