Is a prolific writer, published "for real" outside of Steemit, and her skill is manifest in every freewrite. We all know that many or most of us here do not publish a raw freewrite.

Should I conduct a survey...? @improv is one of the very few I know of who consistently writes five-minutes-only and posts without proofreading. That said.... this post from @deeanndmathews is a classic (and recent!) example of how writing to the daily prompt can unleash a story with characters and dialogues that might never have come to us if not for the daily @freewrite prompt.
