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. Remember that it 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

For some time I have been concerned about hair loss, because I have long hair, at this stage of my life I have decided to accept the idea of ​​enjoying long hair. I see myself as a hippie and I actually love it. But due to the amount of stress and suffering from anxiety due to different factors, which above all involve living in a country with a deep-rooted and deep financial crisis for more than 20 years, this makes my hair lose. Every day I see how long strands of hair remain on my keyboard, and also when I wake up in the morning. I know that it is normal that when you have long hair some strands fall out, and it is not that I lose lots of hair, it is only a few pieces, nothing to be alarmed about.

What really worries me is that the fall is due to anxiety, and then this makes me hate the reasons why I fall even more. The fact that external factors cause me harm is always something that earns my deepest contempt and hatred. I am someone who does not forgive, in fact there is someone who I have not forgiven for more than 50 years, and I will not do it, much less will I forgive people who are factors that cause damage to my life, and they do it only on a whim, because they are the bearers of power in a country or in a social network. That is wrong in many ways, and that is something that I will never celebrate, even if they give the reasons that seem reasonable to them, harming a human being has no justification, whatever the argument used. And in that order of ideas, the damage they have done to the Venezuelan population is tremendous, not only some of us lose hair, others plunge into depression and commit suicide, there are thousands of people having conflicts in their homes because they cannot complete the necessary amount of money to buy food, and there are many difficulties. Enough for "other" external factors to intervene and make everything more difficult.

There are ways to overcome this, and as a population, we do not allow ourselves to be defeated by those who have power, they can make our hair fall out, but we will never stop fighting and be dignified, no matter what you, who hold power, yell about.

This is my 5 minute freewrite for today.
