Day 1051: 5 Minute Freewrite: Sunday - Prompt: the land is burning
Apologies for being late. Fires have broken out in our end of the world, which caused power outages all over the place - including my house. And we are in the middle of a heatwave - record highs. Anyway, I ended up staying at my son's without a computer.... And the land in California is burning...

Prompt: the land is burning
- 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.
@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
Hope everything is fine with you and family. Please take care❤️
Thank you so much!
Hoping this passes and you all are ok. I'm grateful your son is close. Sending prayers and thank you for letting us know ❤. Be safe.
Thank you so much!
