@mariannewest

Everyone who comments on this post will get rewarded with a CC coin!

@whatisnew

@mr-neil always makes me smile when he writes and this freewrite was no exception. His conversation with his conscience that he gave a name to of all things, had me smiling from start to finish, and he used the prompt in a very clever way. Be sure to check out his fun freewrite.


@carolkean seconds this nomination. I love the wit, irony, humor, and sheer fun of this freewrite. You'll want to meet Hastings. Don't take my word for it: just read it! It's short! And intelligent.
"Hastings? Why are you calling me Hastings?"
"Because, in Agatha Christie's Poirot, Hastings was used as a storyteller."


@marblely

This week, @wandrnrose7's freewrite moved me:


It reminded me of losing my loved ones in recent years and it brought back memories of how hard it was to let go sometimes. And it is not easy to fill in the shoes of those who left, sometimes the shoes can never be filled. One can only remember and cherish the memories that once was.

@wakeupkitty

I recommend one with the prompt black tea. She did so much better than me and her tea looks less black.
This is poetry @wandrnrose7 I recommend your Morning reverie poetry.
I love it, this is a golden one! There is not more I can say about it. She has my vote and I resteemed and I hope everybody will do so too. Let's give poetry a chance!

@owasco

First up @tobetada with his ode to an addiction:


This is an addiction I no longer have, after many many years of looking forward to my next dessert as I look forward to a big (Ha!) payout on steem now. I wish him luck with it whichever way it goes.



Then @myjob gave us a whole lot of info about black tea, and not a single word about fish in this one:


It's colorfully anecdotal as many of her posts seem to be, and I love knowing her cool-as-a-cucumber remedy for hot flashes. All gone now, in many more ways than one.



I always marvel at @improv's ability to free associate and here is a freewrite about how that is accomplished. Or is it? These freewrites usually stuff my heart with butter and this one made me get up and slather some on a piece of toast. Inspiring!

@iamraincrystal

I try to read as many of the contributors' work as possible. For this week's recommendation, the first is from @sarez
This one is from the exercise #We-write #14. The continuation was a surprise for me. I clearly didn't expect it. Because of that, I liked reading it.


It seems I'm all for different for this week. This was a bit mind-boggling till it got to the end. Fun read, I'd say. Definitely not to be missed from @felt.buzz



I loved reading this freewrite from @wonderwop. I didn't know it gets flooded in Italy as well. I have this notion that it's one of those perfect places that's always bright and sunny.

Until another week! Have fun @freewritehouse
PS. No #freeread this week. Too bad 'coz I joined two weeks in a row. LOL! ^_^



What is #freeread?

We interrupt this broadcast to make sure everyone knows!

Freeread is a collaboration of @onelovedtube and @freewritehouse

  • 10 SBI from our sponsor @thedailysneak (to be shared between the entries)
  • Everyone gets a 100% upvote and a resteem from the Freewrite House.
  • Everyone will get some voting love from One Love DTube.
  • We will share your entry on twitter and facebook. Let me know if you will be part of the Freewrite Sharers!
  • Your entries will be resteemed by @mariannewest

Here is @iamraincrystal's #freeread based on the promt "stone wall:"

Click on the D-tube link or the youtube video below to hear her read:


Carol can't resist a teaser and a historical tidbit:

From when the city was founded in 1571 until the end of the Spanish rule in 1898, Intramuros was Manila. The name Intramuros means “inside the wall.” For 400 years, Intramuros served as the center of the Spanish occupation.... natives and Chinese were not allowed to live inside Intramuros, only the Spanish elite and mestizos. Inside The Walled City Of Intramuros by Renz Mae Ladroma

There's more to the story, and photos by @iamraincrystal,

but you'll have to go see/hear for yourself.

Follow the hashtags for more Freewrites read aloud as Freereads!

@carolkean

The weekly We-Write hosted by @zeldacroft and @Freewritehouse continues to inspire great stories, often earning the entry a #curie upvote, which is usually bigger than the prize pool. As @Curie can only award so many per week, I will add my personal favorites here. All entries finish the story @zeldacroft started with We-Write #14: At the Club

@deirdyweirdy

"I donned my Mills & Boon hat for this one, so I hope it's not too corny," @deirdyweirdy notes. Corny? I love it!

@owasco

Elsie and Edgar make a comeback here! Owasco cleverly incorporates a real-life club with a footnote on its history; she solves a time conundrum; and she introduces us to Edgar of the sunflowers, Elsie of the wool rugs, making us want More-More-More of these two!

@free-reign

Jan of the prompt comes to life in this story in a way that is comical and rich, but is it romantic? Find out what Toby thinks:


@iamraincrystal

I love the introduction of a new character, "O" for Ophelia, and the eerie elements of this story.

@felixgarciap

Hello friends, my recommendations for this week:


A rising participant @marybellrg with her writing delights us giving the protagonist a space of mystery waiting for the person in Bella en Tacones.


@justclickindiva with her fable of the forest delights us with the values expressed by nature and its benefits.


Note: This post also earned a curie!


@zeleiracordero with her wewrite with his magician in trouble delights us taking us to the universe of the possible.


Note: This post also earned a curie!

Curie! Who earned @curie's attention this week?

The latest posts upvoted by curie are published on https://www.becquerel.io. You can consider checking the guild page once in a while to read them and also show some love to the authors.

If I missed any, let me know in the comment section.

Please note: @carolkean (without asking anyone first) decided to list weekly curies along with the Friday Favorites, and sometimes they overlap, but I consider this a separate category and put it here rather than create a "Weekly Curies Won by Freewrite Member" post in addition to this one. (And no, I'm not going to copy/paste/hyperlink images for all of them.) That said....

Daily 5-Minute Freewrites have earned curies!

#original-content is a hashtag that alerts @curie to new posts.

If you investigate #oc and #ocd (Operation Curie Delegation), you may also visit becquerel.io to see a record of the most recent posts upvoted through Curie curator/reviewer operations and leave thoughtful comments on them for your chance to win!



#creativecoin is supportive as well. Watch for this logo and message:

You've been chosen to be featured in @creativecoin's 🔥DAILY BURN🔥 post!


Not to be confused with #commentcoin (#cc)


#thisisawesome

is another tag to click on and see what has been deemed awesome.

This post is AWESOME!
It has therefore got a manual 100% upvote from @thisisawesome, for the Awesome Daily Upvotes in category Freewrite, I give out 1 such vote in that category per day, plus 3 more in other categories, and your post will also be featured in todays Awesome Daily report for more visibility.
The goal of this project is to "highlight Awesome Content, and growing the Steem ecosystem by rewarding it".

@fitinfun now a curator for @tipu

Click on the image below to get to her post. I've tried to explain and use #tipu myself, but I kept running out of funds after so many auto-upvotes. Now @tipu has changed since "The Fork" (hardfork).

Today I got on the list to be a @tipu curator.
@tipu has changed from whatever it used to be to a new system now after the fork.
The project is just getting off the ground with changes, and you can read their updates here: https://steempeak.com/@tipu

See the leaderboard of curators here: https://tipu.online/curators

The basic idea is that we little people can curate posts for others (and our own posts) with the big SP @tipu has. It is 2.5 million SP with most of that delegated from someone else.



@TheLuvBug was launched in March 2018 and has been doing its utmost to support the really hard workers here on the Steemit platform by upvoting and resteeming their content. It would be AMAZING if we were able to support more people, more often - and with your help, we can do that!

Another #shoutout to volunteers who deliver the new day's prompt

@deirdyweirdy, @whatisnew, @wonderwop, @owasco, @fitinfun, @botefarm

I tried that job for a while, and I can tell you, the Prompt Delivery Team members deserve recognition.

Featuring #Marlians Posts - Week 82 - Pay It Forward Curation Contest

This week we will be featuring the Marlians Tribe (https://www.marlians.com) which was started by @surpassinggoogle. The tag for these posts is #marlians and can be used as a general tag. Don't think there are any restrictions on this tag so finding content will be easy.

Last week (i.e., the week ending October 30), @pifc featured

the Neoxian City Tribe (@neoxiancity) which was started by @neoxian. The tag for these posts is #neoxian and can be used as a general tag. Don't think there are any restrictions on this tag so finding content will be easy.

I cannot even begin to keep up with all these contests and projects and tags, but thank you to all those who do!

Hi @pifc!

Ah, the comments!

The more people who interact with you via comments, the higher your score.

Let's keep the comments coming!

Happy Friday from @carolkean

It pays to visit Discord channels!

Not gonna tell ya how tedious and bassackward my methods have been for finding a "Favorites" nomination in Steemit vs the other sites where I don't have the key to upvote (and most other readers may not), but I didn't even think to ask anyone if there's a shortcut. Someone else raised the question at Discord:

I can log in to steempeak but when I try to leave a comment or upvote it asks for my keychain password, anyone know what that is and where to find it?

How to slip seamlessly from steempeak to steemit:

When someone shares a link here to a Steem post with any other URL - /steempeak.com, esteem, busy.org/....whatever, you can just replace the "steampeak.com" or "busy.org" with "steemit.com and the URL will work just fine, on the site you are accustomed to using.
@jaynie explains with a graphic:

Happy Friday from @carolkean!

I'm always looking for freewrites to tipu. Rulz:

https://steempeak.com/esteem/@fitinfun/my-tipu-curator-tale-how-i-find-your-post

What is a likely post?

  • less than $1 reward already
  • blogger who does not get big rewards
  • 200+ words of text
  • a good intro
  • a good photo or media - I am lax on freewrite for this but you need to source
  • few mistakes in English with exceptions for ESL people <<< very subjective
  • a post I will feel good about promoting elsewhere

Note: I know a good intro when I read it. A bad intro is:

Hello all my steemian friends. I've missed you! I have not posted in a while and then I thought maybe I should post but then I got busy and so now here is my post.

Another bad intro is:

"This post is for the daily freewrite...."

These first lines appear where I promote and so I will not be curating your post. Put this fluff at the end of your post if you feel the need.

Good to know - the first words on our post are what appear in the thumbnail - I've tried be cognizant of that. So much clutter up front (vs later in the post) can cost us readers. THANK YOU Sharon for the pointers!

Hey! Thanks for that tip to get to posts that are wonky to get to! Easier than my method of going directly to the bloggers page and scrolling down to the post I'm trying to leave a comment on.
I hope I am not too late with these freewrite faves, but if I am, so be it.

First up @tobetada with his ode to an addiction https://steempeak.com/blog/@tobetada/freewrite-daily-prompt-sugar-cubes
This is an addiction I no longer have, after many many years of looking forward to my next dessert as I look forward to a big (Ha!) payout on steem now. I wish him luck with it whichever way it goes.

Then @myjob gave us a whole lot of info about black tea, and not a single word about fish in this one https://steempeak.com/freewrite/@myjob/day-759-5-minute-freewrite-monday-prompt-black-tea It's colorfully anecdotal as many of her posts seem to be, and I love knowing her cool-as-a-cucumber remedy for hot flashes. All gone now, in many more ways than one.

I read them! I read them for days! I'm looking for content! There are some things about this place that really bug me, and that my hard work expires and needs to be replaced so quickly is one of them.
No problem about not seeing them! I can't seem to get to it in a timely fashion. erg.
