Day 61: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: my shoe got stuck in the mud
Question about Discord
Several of you have brought up that it might be a good idea to have a discord channel for us to be able to chat a bit more with each other.
Here are my questions.
Are you interested?
Do you prefer we start our own channel?
Or do you want to join an existing channel like this one Isle of Writing
the link is an invite to the channel.
Please let me know what you think.
Freewrite Prompt
Please welcome our newest freewriter @sustainablyyours
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 @elizacheng - most of her freewrites are in the comments of the prompt posts but you can visit her blog and give her some love!
Prompt: my shoe got stuck in the mud

Thank you so much for helping me back on the path to writing. I hadn't written anything for about a year until I came across your challenge (what I do at 2am). Since then I have written something every day. So big thank you. I'm not sure if you know but I won a contest on here and mentioned you in a post.
Anyway, a million thank yous and here is my entry for today: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@felt.buzz/stuck-an-original-fictional-story-for-the-5-minute-freewrite-challenge
I may be a bit late with the next two or three, because I am off to the UK for my mother's 80th birthday. But if I get a chance I'll write!
BTW I can't find a link to the discord channel you mention above (isle of write isn't a link)
so sorry - brain fart - didn't put the link
https://discord.gg/zfXNRnK
and no worries about writing while visiting. It happens or not - all good. We will be here :)
And I am so glad that you came back to writing!!! Love your stories and hope we all will be able to help each other to great financial success as well. Btw. I thought that you live in the UK?...

Today's freewrite: Goblin
Oh dear, now I'm wishing that I hadn't written about my shoe getting stuck in the mud for the "Shoe" prompt! :)
I'm so far behind in trying to figure out/stick with chat stuff, I'm out as far as discord stuff for now. I just can't keep up, or I find that I'm totally distracted by it and don't get my writing (or housework) done. But some day I might be capable... some day.
Okay - I need to give you credit for this one. I knew I had taken it from a freewrite and then didn't put the name in my spreadsheet right away.
I hear you with discord. I was asked over a month ago - but feel the time crunch myself. But more than one asked......
We shall see
Oh, I see! So it's almost like I already did this one :) Now I feel even more challenged... hmmmm. I"m feeling awfully unmotivated today, so maybe that's the challenge I needed :)
or maybe you need to rest lol
Mayyyyyyybe :)
There will be time enough to sleep when we're dead.
Or were are dead sooner because we don't sleep :)
#agree
No particular preference for a group as I'm not on Discord yet. Here's my latest entry:

Thank you for the introduction! This is a tough challenge! 5 minutes fly by when you're trying to write.
Here is my attempt at today's prompt: https://steemit.com/freewrite/@sustainablyyours/5-minute-freewrite-prompt-day-61-my-shoe-got-stuck-in-the-mud
This was the hardest one so far Marianne.
