Prompt: Awakening

This prompt is inspired by @f3nix

Set your timer for 5 minutes
Start writing
Use the hashtag #freewrite
Publish your piece (include a link to this post if you wish)

Copy and paste your URL into the comment section of the prompt post.

  • Or, if you don't want to publish your freewrite, just copy and paste as a comment under the prompt post.*

If you don't know what a freewrite is, here is a link to the introduction post.

Here is @snooks excellent tutorial on how to join our freewrite adventure

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.

This is an excellent article by @dmcamera on how to use images legally. A must read!!

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

  • Remember The Most Dangerous Writing App. 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

  • Our fellow freewriter @arbitrarykitten has a business here on Steemit. Several editors are offering to edit and format your post for a small fee. Check out their intro post

  • Our 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.

  • Check out @ghasemkiani if English is not your first language. He explains many idioms. Often to use those correctly is the biggest struggle when using a foreign language. He uses #idioms-tutorial

  • If you know of other helpful tools or people, please share with us!

DTube

The challenge is to read your freewrite and make a video of it. Please feel free to edit your stories as much as you wish.

Here is the challenge video
@felt.buzz https://steemit.com/dtube/@felt.buzz/0viza9es
@mariannewest https://steemit.com/dtube/@mariannewest/i57961gs
And @snook has a lot of them. So good!!

Just remember that Dtube is still in Beta and sometimes things don't work. Just come back after a little while and try again... and drop a link in the comments so I can feature you in the new Dtube section of the prompt.

Let's use #Dtubefreewrite for our readings so we can find each other!

Discord

Remember, we have our own room in the Isle of Write Discord!
Here is the link to join . https://discord.gg/zfXNRnK

If you like this and want more people to come out and play - resteem!

Thanks so much for posting these daily #freewrite prompts! They're a great creative outlet! Please feel free to check out my crack at today's prompt "Awakening" and let me know what you think =)

LOL! Santa Claus judges if the children were good or naughty, but what if he's the one to be naughty?

Welcome between us strange freewriting creatures! :-P

@wido just read yours and really enjoyed it! Keep writing :)

Hello! So,, I've recently tried out this 5-minute-freewriting-challenge or so and thought if you guys can give some thoughts and some tips about this.

https://busy.org/freewrite/@elijahniel12/prompt-awakening-5-minute-freewrite-challenge-accepted-xd

very creative freewrite today, with so many ways it could go! i had to go the creepy route myself, the second I read 'awakening' my mind couldn't get out of a sci-fi kinda mood. https://steemit.com/freewrite/@the-real-coral/freewrite-prompt-awakening

Here's my entry for today and welcome to the freewrite's zoo @isaganispeaks and @arkayani!

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@f3nix/awakenings-risvegli-eng-ita-freewrite

Here is mine, I have been thoroughly enjoying doing these. Thanks for getting me hooked.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mylittleblurbs/day-80-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-awakening

Didn't try writing a story this time, because I wanted to open up about something in my life and see what you guys think =) https://steemit.com/freewrite/@chuazm/day-80-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-awakening

It's been a few days, but I did get this one!

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@ellievallie/wakening

Here's my awakening post. It turns out to be a shoutout post for a friend @awakentolife. 💕💖 💓 💗 ♨️

Ohhhh, bit late with this one today. Had a ton of wood delivered, so had to get that inside... anyhoo... https://steemit.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/hungry-an-original-work-of-fiction-for-the-5-minute-freewrite-challenge

it is never too late :)

I finally decided to try this... And it was fun, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you:-)

Here is my post: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@kerlund74/freewrite-prompt-awakening

glad you decided to join!!

Here is my entry: "We told you so!"

This is a follow up to a previous freewrite. This one is called, 'The Toothache Awakens.'
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mr-neil/the-toothache-awakens-5-minute-freewrite

Not feeling 100% about this one but hey it's hard to come up with something amazing in 5 minutes!!
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mel1ss/day-80-prompt-awakening-5-minute-freewrite-challange

And not required!! That is the beauty of the freewrite. Sometimes, they are brilliant and sometimes meh. All good!

Thank goodness for freewriting!! :)

I didn't think I would have time to write today, but here is today's submission:

Awakening.

Awakening.. I cannot miss this one! ..add: I realised after reading that the prompt comes from me..now It makes sense. I think I need some awakening before commenting..🤔

It's yours!! lol

Loll what an idiot 😂

hahaha 😂 🤣
