Day 36: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: Junk
Many of our freewriters are new to the platform and get very few votes on their posts. Every day, I am inviting you to visit one and leave some comments and votes. Today, please visit @sharoonyasir
Prompt: Junk
- 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.
If you like this and want more people to come out and play - resteem!
Remember to check your voting power. Do not vote for a while if you are under 90!

Money
There are several people who offer SBD for free on this platform! How great is that!!
Here are a few
@sydesjokes - he rewards his followers with SBD for any kind of interaction with him- comment, vote, resteem.
@craigcryptoking- he does a giveaway a few times a week. All you have to do is to be the first, or fourth or eight commenter.
@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!!
Writing help
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
And 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
Finally, 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.
Also, I would love it if you all check out each others #freewrite and spread some love :)

Glad you are back!
Me too!
I saw a freewrite for the prompt: Warrior. Was that yours? I don't see it on here anywhere. Well, regardless, here is my freewrite for Warrior: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@johnwjr7/5-minute-freewrite-challenge-warrior
Yes. I did the single prompt option for the freewrite and we had a warrior post. It got complicated because someone was using the graphic as well. I think I will come up with another graphic for the weekend choose a prompt day.....
Fun prompt! I just found this whole 5 min Freewrite thing and am digging it already.
Here's my first attempt ( :

""Good-bye junk!" she yelled in a somewhat stilted, singsong voice as she dropped the speaker out the second story window. "Good-bye piece of shit!!!" She still had that somewhat disconnected, happy sounding voice as she dropped the belongings out the bedroom window."

I advertised #danceweekend in my post and really appreciate your good links to others. I think we need to stick to these group activities as much as possible to succeed.
Have a great weekend and I hope you decide to dance :)
dancing!! :)
It's a fun easy post - once a week that gets you moving! What's not to like :)
Plus - crazy entries from all. I would sure never see this on my own.
