Day 81: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: I floss my tears
Last week, I asked you for help and you responded!! Thank you so much @marcoriccardi @miniature-tiger @deirdyweirdy @byn @brisby @f3nix for taking on a day and @improv @dmcamera @snook @janine-ariane for being available once in awhile.
What is that help, you ask. Every day, once the new prompt is out, the freewrite encouragers mentioned above visit all freewriters who left a link to their post in the comments of the previous day's prompt. They read the freewrite, leave a comment and drop the new prompt.
I will still give all of you a vote - mostly on the comment with your link and read as many freewrites as I can. If you want to help, you too can take a day or share. We often now have 30+ participants per day and there is plenty of fun reading for all to be had. If you can't commit to a day, please read as many of your fellow freewriters work as you can. Make sure to leave a comment!

Prompt: I floss my tears
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.
Here is @snooks excellent tutorial on how to join our freewrite adventure
And @improv's input:
Two things I do a little differently. I just type "timer" into google and it pops up a 5 minute timer. I also type directly into steemit. I also rarely use a photo, don't I? So that's three things.

Tonight I was very tired, so my freewrite is...very free (and not so good)
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@marcoriccardi/floss-my-tears-5-minute-freewrite-day
You probably tired because you did a lot of reading and commenting! Thank you so much for that!!
You're welcome! Did I "cure" the right post? I was worried about getting the wrong prompt, mine should be the Sunday one, but time zones make me insecure
no worries. You did great!! I know the time zone thing!! I can drop the prompt for you to curate in a comment on your latest post if that helps. Thank you so much again!! I think the writers appreciate to get eyes on them and I just can't get to everyone anymore. It is great that so many are participating, but..... lol
It would be enough if you write the day in the prompt post, ex. "Day 81, Monday" ;)
good idea. I'll start doing that.
I think I'll do the same..I don't feel like not posting, I dunnow...It's the freewrite addiction you know? It happens..it's like a monkey mocking you on your shoulders with all the faces of the freewrite zoo ..oh shit I could have put this in my silly freewrite to be...
That was fun! Thank you very much!

@mariannewest, please add wido to the freewriters list! It's a good friend of mine and f3nix we recruited after a boring and unceasing pro-Steemit campaign
I will. I am always one day behind. So, it takes 2 days to show up on the new list - or I never get the prompt done lol. good job on recruiting!! I am doing the same - but it takes a lot to get people going....
About the pro-steemit campaign I would add "jeova-witnessish".
What an interesting prompt today! Here is what I ended up with:
I flossed my tears.
I had no idea what to do with today's...

I am so frustrated! I had to wait to post my response because my bandwidth had been exceeded! T_T. I hate being treated like some spammer when I am making genuine content and trying to engage here. UGH. I mean this is good fiction people! LOL. Rant aside, cheers to my first participation in the freewrite prompts.

Don't worry for that bandwidth message.. it's just a glitch 😉
