Yes, @marieannewest is a good slave driver.

Recently I have made an effort to "push" freewrite when I see someone who writes well here on any subject. Few of us can succeed on steem without posting frequently, and this is such an easy post for writers.

I get about half and half replies between those who are intrigued and those who turn their nose up since they are pros. I am so glad I got pushed (shoved) into it and hope it will always be here.

It's a rare freewrite that is really 5 minutes for me, but fun when it happens. I am a hunter and pecker as referenced below with arthritis to make things more interesting. But still I persevere and EDIT too! If I can barely read through my typos, I will not inflict them on others :)
