**The Freewrite House has moved mostly to Hive. I will publish the prompt here for the time being but don't know for how long. You all have accounts on Hive you can access with the same keys you use for Steem. Please come and join us there**

### While all the fighting was going on here, I found a new (to me) platform called Uptrennd. I am having huge amounts of fun there. Join me please by using my referral link. We each get 100 points.

## Freewrite Info, Tips and More 

<center>![Freewrite.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQjoLWDPkqaxDDEDMCb1Nnm6b65TCtE4K88SXeFLLJevV/Freewrite.png)</center>

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!

## 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.

## 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



* 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. You have to go way back - as far as August. But it still is all there.


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