Day 81: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: I floss my tears

in #freewrite7 years ago

Imgur

Last week, I asked you for help and you responded!! Thank you so much @marcoriccardi @miniature-tiger @deirdyweirdy @byn @brisby @f3nix for taking on a day and @improv @dmcamera @snook @janine-ariane for being available once in awhile.

What is that help, you ask. Every day, once the new prompt is out, the freewrite encouragers mentioned above visit all freewriters who left a link to their post in the comments of the previous day's prompt. They read the freewrite, leave a comment and drop the new prompt.

I will still give all of you a vote - mostly on the comment with your link and read as many freewrites as I can. If you want to help, you too can take a day or share. We often now have 30+ participants per day and there is plenty of fun reading for all to be had. If you can't commit to a day, please read as many of your fellow freewriters work as you can. Make sure to leave a comment!

Prompt: I floss my tears

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.

Tonight I was very tired, so my freewrite is...very free (and not so good)
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@marcoriccardi/floss-my-tears-5-minute-freewrite-day

You probably tired because you did a lot of reading and commenting! Thank you so much for that!!

You're welcome! Did I "cure" the right post? I was worried about getting the wrong prompt, mine should be the Sunday one, but time zones make me insecure

no worries. You did great!! I know the time zone thing!! I can drop the prompt for you to curate in a comment on your latest post if that helps. Thank you so much again!! I think the writers appreciate to get eyes on them and I just can't get to everyone anymore. It is great that so many are participating, but..... lol

It would be enough if you write the day in the prompt post, ex. "Day 81, Monday" ;)

good idea. I'll start doing that.

I think I'll do the same..I don't feel like not posting, I dunnow...It's the freewrite addiction you know? It happens..it's like a monkey mocking you on your shoulders with all the faces of the freewrite zoo ..oh shit I could have put this in my silly freewrite to be...

@mariannewest, please add wido to the freewriters list! It's a good friend of mine and f3nix we recruited after a boring and unceasing pro-Steemit campaign

I will. I am always one day behind. So, it takes 2 days to show up on the new list - or I never get the prompt done lol. good job on recruiting!! I am doing the same - but it takes a lot to get people going....

About the pro-steemit campaign I would add "jeova-witnessish".

Helllo Freewriters !!!!
I have a gem of flossing wisdom for you all today :)

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@lonestarpoet/81-freewrite-flossing-with-wisdom

What an interesting prompt today! Here is what I ended up with:

I flossed my tears.

Hello fellow freewrite steemians. Please accept my offering for today's prompt. Let me know your thoughts, esteem if you like, comment and then I can read what I can improve on.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mylittleblurbs/day-81-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-i-floss-my-tears

I am so frustrated! I had to wait to post my response because my bandwidth had been exceeded! T_T. I hate being treated like some spammer when I am making genuine content and trying to engage here. UGH. I mean this is good fiction people! LOL. Rant aside, cheers to my first participation in the freewrite prompts.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@saronym/i-floss-my-tears-freewrite-promt

Don't worry for that bandwidth message.. it's just a glitch 😉

A Gif for you.........in your God form lolll

Thank you so much!! I love my God form!! LOL

yaaaaaaaaay :D that makes me very happy :D

This one was definitely interesting.

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

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@simgirl/day-81-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-i-floss-my-tears-don-t-cry

So glad this place s booming! I thought it took some time to read them all before!!!

I know!! Isn't it amazing how many come out to play :)

I just had to get on this.
Lol. Really nice. https://steemit.com/poetry/@warpedpoetic/mirror

Ok, I've done a second story, because it completes my toothache trilogy. Enjoy.
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mr-neil/a-toothache-trilogy-special-5-x-3-minute-freewrite

Very random route I get down, but I'm a slave to my imagination. After reading the prompt, an image appears in my head, and no matter how hard I try, I have to write it

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@chuazm/day-81-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-i-floss-my-tears

This one was... interesting... Thanks, Marianne!
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@brisby/ba-rum-5-minute-freewrite-day-81

HA! here is mine! :D

https://steemit.com/poem/@snook/is-this-a-joke-nope

do we get a normal word tomorrow? :D

kind of normal - but not super normal. But I think you will have fun with it lol

SO many things! Just finished and put up this week's punday (here it is! https://steemit.com/contest/@improv/puns-they-are-so-great-they-are-the-best-you-cannot-believe-how-important-puns-are-to-humanity-this-is-punday-monday-29-rejoice) now I'll write my freewrite...(here it is! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@improv/tear-floss-5minutefreewrite) now I'll go read all the other freewrites from yesterday... done! Now I'll check out as many of the other things you shout out as I have.... oh man, where has the day gone?

Here's my entry. Hopefully I understand the prompt correctly, and didn't come up with something stupid... Thanks for the prompt to keep me thinking and writing.

you are welcome :)

💕💖 💓 💗 ♨️

I use the online timers as well, I keep it on my bookmarks tab. I pretty much always type directly into steemit as well, although I think I'm going to start typing into some writing software soon to keep things in a separate place just because it will be easier to find it and keep things together for my own uses.

Annnnyway, here is my post for today. I wasn't sure I was up for writing anything today, but I was finally feeling inspired this evening.

https://steemit.com/freewrite/@byn/unexpected-tears-5-minute-freewrite-prompt-floss-my-tearsThumb-unexpected tears.png

That is why I keep all the prompts I wrote on in pages. Even if I write in the dangerous writing app, I copy it there and on stieemit. It is hard to find old posts on here.

Agreed and I didn't expect to be so instantly... prolific with my writing. You made this whole steemit thing far more inspired than I ever expected!!! :)

Here is my poetic entry to this freewrite prompt: https://steemit.com/poetry/@raj808/flossing-original

Many thanks, I hope you all enjoy it 🙂

Hi!

You know, for the past few weeks GINA has told me that I am present in your posts. Am I blind here because I cant see my account anywhere?!

You wrote a really good article on curation. I think it is still relevant, but I will look if you wrote a more recent one. Hope you are okay with it.

Oh yes, no problem with sharing content at all, thank you!

It's just I've scanned your blogs a few times and could not for the life of me spot my account name - it was hidden in a URL that's why :)

Each week there is an updated 'curation leagues' blog so it's up to you if you want to update the link each week, or continue to link. Thanks again!

I am sorry. I don't know why I didn't put your steemit name as well - I usually do. I must have been tired when I first wrote it and then just copied it. I am going to fix it. You wrote a very detailed explanation on how to curate in that post and we have lots of newbies joining and I want them to know as much as possible about how to be successful on the platform.

and you educate so many!! thank you for that.

It's in the link "Read the post here" to your curation contest. It's old now though as I didn't win this week :(

Ahh, the eye of the tiger :D

Thanks!

Well I cant keep you out of the prizes every week?!

Should you want to see the raw text of any post and find whatever trickery is going on, simply replace "steemit" with "steemd" in the post's link :P

I did it! I was worried I'd miss this one, too. Not only did I do it, but I revised it for @miniature-tiger's fiftywords, too. Anyway, here's my freewrite.

good post I am follow you

In just one post of yours, I could get a lot of information. Thanks fo sharing and I would love to do free write like the rest does. It sounds very interesting. I'm a newbie here in Steemi, hoe to learn more about you.

Although I am yet to be a member of this wonderful free writers' club, I am fascinated by the quality of information your team churns out. I'm still taking a keen look at the system for the purpose of joining and possibly partaking in the contests. There's so much useful information to be gleaned while also enjoying the free style writing artistry. Thank you for the opportunity to read.

Please do join us. It is not a contest - more of a personal challenge. And a great community!! All are welcome and supported in the process of their writing journey.

Just when I thought that I have all Discord servers settled.
I will check up others in this contest, sounds like an interesting thing to do.

Not a contest - a personal challenge. Hope you join us. Lots of very nice people here.

Aw, I found server, and it is great, I just shared it with my noob-group and we are joining in.

Sounds good. Are you talking about the Isle of Write?

Hey, so I made my 2nd freewriting and I think you guys should check if this is alright... hi..hi..hi..
