Dear Freewrite Friends
It has been a great ride, no doubt about it. Posting a Daily prompt and reading all the wonderful stories you all come up with has been my privilege and pleasure.
However, after over 2000 days of daily posting, it is time for me to focus my attention on other things.
Fear not!!! The Daily Prompt will continue. Our awesome fellow writer @felt.buzz is, from now on, your inspiration.
@daily.prompt is the account you want to follow for your Daily Freewrite Prompt.
Of course, the Freewrite House and Freewrite Community remain your home for all kinds of fun writing adventures.

With lots of love
Marianne

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

First reaction: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Second reaction as mature, understanding person: You've earned it, @mariannewest. Thank you for EVERYTHING. I wouldn't still be a Hiver if you hadn't been here and done what you have done. I wish you all the best in everything you put your hand to with your beautiful family!

Third reaction: I can think of no better hands to leave this great institution in than @felt.buzz and the @daily.prompt.

I am honored that you consider me your friend ... and YES, do what is necessary to reclaim that writing side of yourself, because BOY can you ever write! I remember!

Sometimes rest is the only thing for it. On my composer side, it has sometimes taken as much as a year at a time. Running a sprawling community is TOUGH. You have a LIFE, too. Take care of you, my friend... enjoy the next phase of the journey!

Thank you so much. But no worries, the prompt and the Freewrite House will continue. And who knows, maybe by the time felt.buzz gets tired of posting, I feel refreshed and come back.
Please keep on writing. You are such a fantastic writer!

@marianewest we love you! Thank you for all you do, and have done. I finally felt like I had a home on the blockchain when I met you. Your encouragement meant the world at that time in 2016. We are thankful for your loving guidance and encouragement all these years. I am forever grateful!

The way we've been seeing you for a long time now. You are doing daily post and it is very good that people are more happy because they also get a chance to make a daily post. You are doing daily post and it is very good that people are more happy because they also get a chance to make a daily post. You should also take a little rest now, two or four days, don't post it and give your mind peace because it's not easy to find such a post everyday.

Hello. Well deserved break. You will be missed. It will seem strange you not being here since I started in 2019.

Take care and do you thing, whatever it is and enjoy in the process.

Is it alright to leave my link to the Day 2023 freewrite prompt here: "It's been a great ride"? or should I leave it elsewhere:

Thanks for all you have done and made Freewriters enjoyable for all.

Take care.

Thank you so much.
You always can leave it here - but maybe better in the comments of the prompt.

Thank you so much for your dedication for so long. Two thousand daily prompts is a lot to have accomplished! Those daily prompts got me to writing again at a time in my life when I really needed to do so. Right now I am so busy with grandchildren, I'm not writing very often. But this is another phase of life that will pass, so I am enjoying it while I can. It's great that @felt.buzz is taking over, but you will be missed. Hope to see you posting, regardless!
