I am still on a mostly offline lifestyle and have been having a hard time posting this at the regular time.
Here is my plan.
I am going to schedule the posts on a weekend day for the coming week. But now, we don't have Uncle Bruni anymore who used to text me if anything went amiss with the scheduled posts. So, if the tech is not working out, it might take me a time to see what is going on.
Please be patient.
And you can always go back to one of the almost 1400 prompts that all still live on the blockchain and give an older one a go.
Happy writing.
Check the @freewritehouse for fun contests
Spanish contests will continue - I need a little break and English are on hold until I am back or one of you steps up as an organizer.
If you want to help, contact me on Discord. You can join the freewriter discord and message me from there.

Prompt: parachute
- Set your timer for 5 minutes
- Start writing

Copy and paste your URL into the comment section of the prompt post.

@sydroc started to use the prompt as an inspiration for a drawing. You all are invited to do the same.
Since our Freewrite community is growing, we decided to revive our Freewrite Discord for Freewriters to hang out, talk to each other, and have some fun. I am offering the Freewrite Prompt on several platforms - not everyone is going to be on Hive.

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](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english
I have a favor to ask. If you are on YouTube, can you please subscribe to my Sustainable Living Podcast channel. I am not asking you to watch, just to subscribe. I want to be able to do live Yoga classes and need more subscribers before I can access that function. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA73SuaMBnBIaB5OdiL_y6Q
