Freewriter Challenge

Freewriters!!

I have a crazy no, brilliant idea!!!

Let's all read some of our freewrites on camera and load them up to DTube.

This is partly inspired by the beautiful collaboration of @snook and @fireawaymarmot. If you haven't seen it yet, make sure to watch it!!

My grandkids love it! Thank you so much you two amazing freewriters!!

The other nudge was seeing a video in my feed with the tag #sevendayDtubeChallenge.

I have been playing with DTube and had the intentions to post something every day - but you know how that goes. But we are already doing the freewrite every day and I have been thinking of a way to give them more exposure.

Some of you are such good writers and get so little attention!!

This way, we could reach another audience - and as I mentioned in the video, we can repurpose the audio for a podcast.

As always, you are free to participate as much or as little as you want. That said, I would love to see your lovely faces and hear your lovely voices reading your freewrites.

All feedback welcome!!!

And remember, we have a discord room to hang out now!!. Join here https://discord.gg/zfXNRnK and look for the free-writing-retreat!!

It is so weird. This one is not playing for me either. The next one, I did, plays fine.
Basically, read your story and post it. I am trying to do a Dtube every day and I think it would give all of you more exposure for the stories. Then, we could also use the voice portion of your reads to put them together as a podcast.
Don't know why Dtube works for me some days - and others - not at all.
And if you let me know that you did one - maybe we do a curation post and try to get more eyes on it.....

Hi Marianne! This is another great idea by you! I hope it will be a big success between the freewriters community, but this time I will not partecipate: first of all, I'm shy of my pronunciation; second, I'm not being on Steemit very much in the next two weeks, due to Holidays and dealing with visits to friends and relatives.

For this reason, I delegate to you 50 SP (it's nothing, I know, but it's 80% of my total) until January 7th.

Best wishes to all of you!

You are the sweetest ever!!! And did you see the video and my accent? lol

Hope you are having a great time!!! And thank you so much!!! You rock! And while you are visiting - tell all your friends and relatives about steemit :)

Thank you!!

Marco - I found out that a delegation is frozen for 1 week when you recall it. Make sure to recall it in time for you to have when you are ready to build your empire again....
🤑

Don't worry, I know that ;)

Marco we need to do this Marianne's idea together with some kabuki masks and robotic voices. A voice in my mind ordered to me, it sounded a bit like a Santa in an acid trip with a tiny voice.

Protip: Use Minnowbooster (1$ upvote) to get your post into the hot section. Like that you are on the radar for the really big upvotes.

I don't even know how to do that!!

Cool challenge @mariannewest! I'm trying to figure out Dtube now for another challenge. If I can get that video posted, I'll be sure and join your challenge. All the best!

Thank you!! I can't wait for you to join us!! I love your work!

Ohhh my gosh. Love your energy. So contagious. 😍 And it is an awesome idea. I really will come back to listen to your stories in the next days ❤ Love it so much. Your accent is awesome. I will for sure be here for the readings.

Thank you so much!!

I love the idea of this, but thus far I can't get dtube to play any of these videos :( It's still new and glitchy, so I'll try again later.

they aren's playing for you or not uploading? I find that sometimes, they upload right away - and sometimes - it just doesn't work. But like you said - they are new....

I was told they can take up to a minute to load. Once you load one it seems to then load others faster.

It's not playing at all. I will just leave it to upload and when I go back later, it just says it won't load at all.

I was uploading Abyni's openmic entries there and those worked for me, but they won't work for the contest because apparently its kind of hit or miss.

That sucks. I wonder if it's the time of day? I loaded mine very late last night.

today, one didn't load - the snap.... forever and ever. Next try, it all went up really fast.....

So excited to do all the things! https://steemit.com/freewrite/@improv/pill-5minutefreewrite

Wait, whoops, wrong thread, but yes to soon this, too.

And now... oof. Dtube doesn't load for me. I need a webcam. That would make all this everything easier.

Your phone works well - assuming that you have a smart phone. Just make sure you hold it sideways. Wished I knew tech more to tell you how to change it to an mp4 or wav file. Dtube is very temperamental. One minute, it works great - and then, not so much....... my first upload today failed. the next try - fast and no problem.....
But they are working on it....

The camera on my phone is not great. And it's just kinda inconvenient.

no problem if that is not for you. if you want to do it, you can always use a still picture and use something like audacity to record into.... So many ways lol

:O it is FOR me. But We'll just see if the inconvenience outweighs the desire as the days become weeks and the weeks become months and years.

Hi Marianne! You and your crazy ideas! I love how creative you are!
Sorry, I'm unable to get the video to play. Other Dtube vids seem to be working fine but this one...weird. I watched Snook's "Splinter" Freewrite (so great!). Is the challenge just to read one prompt?

What a great idea! I just need to decide which one to read now! Thanks for the challenge!
