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

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.
