Awry is the prompt used for my recommendation.
This freewrite tells about a girl with a sweet tooth that wants to bake and cook in the German, spotless kingdom of her mom.
The love for Russian tea balls made her do it.
@wandrnrose7 shares My baking disaster with us. Enjoy the read. 😍

Another duplicate nomination this week!

@marblely

Hi @freewritehouse!
My favourites this week:

@wandrnrose7
I enjoyed this piece because I could relate to her story and I felt her so much! My mom was like that too. I tried not to step into her turf when she was in the kitchen and when she was out for a few hours, I would sneak into the kitchen to try baking, checking the clock each minute. Before she comes back, I would remove all my traces and eat everything that I have baked, good or bad.

@fitinfun
shares with us her struggles to earn day by day, month by month, and I truly admire her courage and her fighting spirit to keep going. She is one tough lady who will never give up and will keep thinking what else, how else can be done and I wish her the very best in all that she does.

I like her style of writing and I was enjoying my read on this piece, imagining every line in my head, just like in a movie until the last paragraph when suddenly the word sorcerer appeared, an unexpected twist at the end.

@fitinfun

I have three this week, Sigh...
I've been recommending this freewrite all over the place. @wandrnrose7 knocked it out of the park with her answer to the mountain surfing prompt.

In this post for "awry," @teresah gives us such a sad story. I do not know if it is true, and I hope it is not.

Note from Carol: I asked, and @teresah confirmed that the story is true. Nobody should have to wear black for her Quinceañera!

And here, @marblely gives us an idea of why she is so organized and on the ball. Who says we don't learn anything in high school?

@whatisnew

What a cute story @deeanndmathews wrote using the prompt, awry. You will find that "Necessity is the mother of invention," in more ways than one. You will also find out what a certain rodent must do to a cat because he didn't attend the feral small rodent meeting. With me being a cat, this is my kind of story. LOL!

@wonderwop

I found this #freewrite by @d00k13 on the prompt "baby time". This #freewrite got me thinking about my daddy today and I could just picture him running around trying to get my mamma to the hospital when my brother was born. I wonder if it got any easier when the other 3 of us were born! 😁 Great memories buddy. 🙏

@chireerocks

@freewritehouse, Kindly find the below blog post link for your reference which is shared by
@hlezama.

And in my opinion life is very unexpected aspect and many times we see that some situations reflects as very unexpected and very weird. It will not be wrong if call life, A Weird Journey.

Keep up the good work team.

Carol jumps in here with an excerpt:

-How did he become this?

-Nobody knows. They say he answered a midnight call. One of those malign voices that sound like anyone in the house. Sometimes, they sound like loved ones that are gone, but who we miss so much that we forget they are no longer with us, and so we answer desperately, What is it? I’m coming! It is like giving permission, opening a door not knowing who is getting in.

Yet another Note from Carol:
@hlezama's post also won the attention of @thisisawesome, a new curator you may have noticed lately:

Wow @hlezama, you made the story seem very real, and that patient really had a bad fate, it's awesome.
This post is AWESOME!
It has therefore got a 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".

@carolkean

I discovered @ginnyannette in the comment box of a post by @goat-girlz, whose writing skills are so superb, I urged her try #freewritehouse - and she did! (See previous Friday Favorites posts for my raves about @goat-girlz's storytelling skills.)

Hint, Hint! More please, @goat-girlz!

@ginnyannette's story

is masterful, and the whirling cigarette smoke of the prompt triggers vivid/visceral memories of a particular smoker the narrator would prefer to forget. The possible source of the smoke inspires a flight of imagination that I totally identify with. With every sound, every vivid detail, tension mounts, and we urgently need to see Big Dog (he of the massive paws and leonine swagger) see his human home safe. Here's the link:

And here is one excerpt, because Big Dog has stolen my heart, and everyone else should meet him and love him as I do. There. That's my command for the week.



And if that's not enough, read the whole post AND the comment box, and what @ginnyannette says about Big Dog:

I love Big Dog too - he is all gentlemanly charm or brute-force when necessary. He's like a romance novel character...you know, if he was human ;) I just gave him a pat on the head and he opened one sleepy eye and distinctly looked like he was thinking: Yes, I'm ridiculously wonderful. I know.

Is she a great writer, or what? We have so many here at @Freewritehouse!
No surprise, this post won @curie's attention.

A #curie for a Five-Minute Freewrite? For real?

Well, of course this post took more than five minutes for @ginnyannette to write. Most of us here keep going after the five minutes are up. See @sidequest, @honeydue, @deeanndmathews, @blueeyes8960, and others here who write longer than five minutes--and post very polished, satisfying tales in response to the prompts.

Check out @ginnyannette's older posts too,

and posts that are not actually freewrites but wow, this woman can write! Homesteaders and chicken lovers among us will appreciate posts like this one--which is past payout but there is no expiration date for you to read, comment on, and love these posts!

Thank you for nominating,

everyone, and thank you for reading, upvoting, resteeming, and social media sharing!

If it's Friday in Germany right now,

and I'm pretty sure the clock has struck midnight over there, I'm going to hit POST on this lest I suffer a computer crash (a routine event around here) or loss of internet service.

Cheers!
