Many of our freewriters are new to the platform and get very few votes on their posts. Every day, I am inviting you to visit one and leave some comments and votes. Today, please visit @jkiw
Please welcome our newest freewriter - well, it will be a while until he can write :) A huge welcome to little Lochlan and congratulations to the awesome freewriters @stinawog and @improv
Now, on to writing
Prompt: itching
- 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.
If you don't know what a freewrite is, here is a link to the introduction post:
If you like this and want more people to come out and play - resteem!
This Week's Plan
We are doing this for 3 weeks now and our numbers have grown! Which is wonderful and I am very excited about this. But, alas, my steam power is not big enough to up-vote all your posts and all the links you leave in the comments of the post.
So, I came up with this plan.
For 7 days, starting Monday, November 6/2017 and ending Sunday, November 12/2017, I will share the SBD payout of the prompt posts with all of you who do the following:
- Post at least 2 freewrites in the 7 days
- Use the prompt - I will not accept posts which have nothing at all to do with the prompt. The idea is to write something new for this challenge.
- Leave a link to your freewrite or copy your 5 minute freewrite in the comments of the prompt.
- You must do all - I can’t hunt you all down to try to count you.
I will add up the SBD of the 10 prompts and divide it equally between all who have participated in at least 2 freewrites AND left the link in the comments.
You can post at each prompt until Sunday 7PM PST- that gives you a lot of time to get your 2 prompts in :)
The sharing will happen after the last prompt post-payout. Approx. 7 days after the Sunday prompt posts.
I will try this for one week and see how much work that is for me. We see what next week will bring.
Remember to check your voting power. Do not vote for a while if you are under 90!

Things you Need to Know About Images in Your Posts
Our freewriter and photographer @dmcamera has written several post on the proper usage of images and how to NOT be a plagiarist. Please, do not steal images!!!!
@dmcamera/hey-steemit-royalty-free-images-are-not-free-images
Just recently, and article was published citing all kinds of free sources for images and here is @dmcamera's response (copied her with permission)
You have some very bad information on here! I need to correct your usage of the term ROYALTY FREE! Royalty free is a type of licensing which allows the licensee to pay only once for the use of an image. They are NOT free images. The images on some of the sites you have found may or may not be FREE , but they are not Royalty free! If they are, then you will have to pay an RF license for each image. Getty Images allows the use of images to bloggers ONLY if an embed code is used. It's not possible to use the embed code on Steemit, so it's impossible to justify using an image from Getty in here! I have made my living from Royalty Free images for many years now, and it is quite demoralizing to read a post that tells the world to take my work for free!!
Check out her profile for more articles and I will link to more in the future.
Also, I would love it if you all check out each others #freewrite and spread some love :)
