Freewrite House
So much going on at the Freewrite house!!!
- Brisby is presenting a wonderful interview with @honeydue. You all probably know her since she is on the team of the fantastic freewrite encouragers and visits you often. Make sure that you read the interview!! This will take you right to it!
- And it is Tuesday!! That means that we are giving away SBI for you recommending a freewriter.
200 Day Party!!!!
Day 200 Party has begun!!
Yesterday, we announced the contest:
Win 10+ SBD and SBI memberships!!!
Today - the prize already has increased to Win 13+ SBD and......
I decided to donate $ 2.00 SBD towards the prize and we are adding half of the SBD payout of all 200 Day contest posts as well.
You too can donate to the prize - any amount is welcome. Just transfer with a memo: to 200-day celebration.
SBD will be added to the SBD payout. Steem donations will increase the SBI memberships we give out.
Important!!
There are a couple of things you have to do for admission to the party. Run on over to the Freewrite House and check it out. Prepare to stay for a while!! We are going to have fun!! did I mention that we are going to have fun? Yes!!! Tons of it!!!
We suggest you register - even if you don't think that you can participate much. Nobody can join after this Sunday evening, 5/13/2018 PDT.
What are you waiting for? Rush on over to the Freewrite House!
Watch this space for Freewrite House News!!!!
Remember - if you don't have at least a $ 0.03 vote, do not vote on comments. Your vote will not count. It get's rounded down to 0. @snook tried it and I am as well. We wanted to be sure.
Prompt: important
- 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 @snook's 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.
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!

If your vote is below 0.03 - this is a must read by @thedarkhorse. Vote Dust
Here is an excellent article explaining how to maximize your vote by @taskmaster4450. It helps you to grow to vote wisely!! And a more recent one
And here is a counter opinion on voting by our freewriter @improv
This post is talking about using your vote for maximum curation. Thank you, Asher @abh12345 Read the post here
Bandwidth Problems
I know that many of you are very new to the platform and your wallets are pretty empty. Believe me, we all started there!! Here is an excellent article which explains what bandwidth is and why you might have a hard time logging in some days - or posting. Thank you @jrswab for this explanation
There are many contests on Steemit. From art to music to writing and everything in between. Enter as many as you can!! And take advantage of the free money people give away I listed in the money section below.
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
I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. 10 fast fingers
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.
If you know of other helpful tools or people, please share with us!
Money
There are several people who offer SBD for free on this platform! How great is that!!
Here are a few
@scrooger has a great "help the minnows" project. It is so easy!! Register by leaving a comment for an upvote - or invest into buying a lifetime upvote. A minnow support project brought to you by @scrooger
@fisheggs - follow this account and you get upvotes at random times.
@sydesjokes - he rewards his followers with SBD for any kind of interaction with him- comment, vote, resteem.
@danielsaori - he does a comment contest. A new challenge every week.
@rexusmo - I think a few of you have started to leave links to your post. Every day, he has a cheering up post. You leave a link to a post you are proud off and you might get a reward. Keep trying!!

Hello, normally 5 minutes has seemed to me a challenge to participate, and I love them because they have given me the opportunity to do something that I like very much, but I didn't dare, which is to give free rein to my thoughts and write, however, today I found the time much shorter, perhaps because the topic chosen, gives to write much more than 5 minutes.

Yes. We want to give freewriters a week to register. Once we start, nobody else can join. And that gives the pot time to grow too. We have already 6 SBD in additional donations and the post payout will be added too. And you all can get ready to get creative :)
