Discord
Several of you have brought up that it might be a good idea to have a discord channel for us to be able to chat a bit more with each other.
Here are my questions.
- Are you interested?
- Do you prefer we start our own channel?
- Or do you want to join an existing channel like this one Isle of Writing
the link is an invite to the channel.
Please let me know what you think.
Contests and Challenges you can enter
Our fellow freewriter @mydivathings started her own writing challenge. Here, you will get a daily picture as your prompt. Check it out
This is a poem challenge by @margaretwise. The rules are here. Look for a new post every Friday to post the link to your poem under.
This is the Why So Serious challenge by @whysoserious. It has a category for fiction. Check it out
@improv has a weekly pun challenge!!! Info to be found here
Writing help
Our fellow freewriter @arbitrarykitten has a business here on Steemit. Several editors are offering to edit and format your post for a small fee. Check out their intro post
And 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. Just remember that is is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. Here is the link
Finally, 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
If you like this and want more people to come out and play - resteem!
Remember to check your voting power. Do not vote for a while if you are under 90!
