@emms

Emma is new to steemit, she JUST joined and jumped right into the #freewrite community. Invited by @abyni because of her love of writing, @emms started out with some right out of the gate impressive freewrites. I KNOW this girl and yet I saw her mentioned by other people before I even realized she was on steemit! :)

Give her a warm freewrite welcome and go say hi!

I hadn't seen any of @emms' freewrites before, and saw that this one came late in the day for a freewrite. When I saw it, it grabbed me and burned me from the inside. I used to have a fear of what she describes here, and she uses such beautiful, vivid imagery, I'm mesmerized. I recommend @emms' 'Helpless' free write. ~ @improv

This freewrite about falling in love is stunning. Especially knowing that it's written by someone rather young, it is so deep, so pure and really beautiful. It gave me goosebumps. I love reading something so positions, full of the awe and wonder of young love. It takes me back to the core of what matters when we're in love. The connection, deep down, that's what's important to remember. ~ @byn

@jackofcrows

I would like to nominate @jackofcrows for his funny freewrite, IntergalacticDeliveryBoi, which is about a human who is infatuated with an alluring robot: a robot who is described as "all doll parts and circuitry" and "sways to a rhythm no human can detect." ~ @aislingcronin

@iyanpol12

I am nominating/recommending @iyanpol12 with his freewrites.
I believe he has mastered this five-minute freewrite so much that reading his posts make you want to read more but then time is up. Engk! Five minutes is up and you have to finish the story, or just stay there hanging. Lol.
It is always "fun" reading his works. Well, fun may not literally equate to crazy laughters though. Sometimes it perks up the brain with his spontaneity leading to something deep, something human. Like this particular freewrite of his:
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@iyanpol12/helpless-5-minute-freewrite-challenge
It is so full of emotion and open-ended, general in a sense that it could pretty much be about someone, or no one in particular. Yet, somehow, I relate to it and it could even refer to me. ~ @yadah04

@ireenchew

Overslept?! How many times have we thought, just 5 more minutes to then realise it is way past "I'll make it on time" o'clock? @ireenchew tells an oh-so-familiar story on two counts. One, sometimes it is better to be late than to be sorry and two, snoozing can lead to dire consequences. And a good story always has a twist, so that part I will leave it for you to find out here at: ~ @kaerpediem

@glenalbrethsen

My favorite entry this week is from @glenalbrethsen for his coffee freewrite, entitled "Love At First...Yikes!".
I didn't get it right away, probably cause I still haven't had enough coffee, but when I first read it, I thought it was just a nice meet cute scene. You know, girl meets boy, spills some coffee on his shirt, and it's love at first sight. Turns out, that wasn't the scene at all. The guy didn't like the girl back, and might actually have been a little annoyed! So, it wasn't just a meet cute. It was actually an attempt to turn the trope on its head. I love it. But also kind of embarrassed that I didn't get it right away. Hehe... The author had to point it out for me. ~ @cryptocopy

@digitalmind

This week I nominate the post by @digitalmind for the prompt "helpless."
I always write my own freewrite for a recent prompt and then go look at the others for this contest. I really like looking at what others do with the same word, even though I do not always take the time or get the chance.
The prompt I chose for this week led to some very sad stories and I'm afraid this is one of them. @digitalmind writes of a time he was robbed in an alley back in the 1970's. He mentions how he still avoids such places today because of this experience.
I can relate to this even though I am lucky enough not to have ever been robbed. But I have some other experiences that make me avoid places or situations because of old memories. Our mind and emotions are stronger than we think. Maybe this memory has kept @digitalmind safe, even though he does not notice it each time. ! @fitnfun

@rensoul17

Today I would like to nominate @rensoul17 for this beautiful poem on the prompt overslept. I was going to save it for my Friday poem nomination, but I got excited. The words just flowed as I read this poem about a once Queen, being replaced by men, in a women's world...or was it? Well worth a read and an upvote. Go check it out. 🙏 ~ @wonderwop

@marie-jay

@marie-jay has a way of describing the people and "conspiracy" among the servants in this story so perfectly. I love how she illustrated the servants' world behind the Master's watch. I could actually have the story played in my mind and "saw" Mr. Babybottom's face who was always overslept even after he was replaced for not carrying out his duties well enough. What a pleasant freewrite to read about! ~ @happycrazycon

@wonderwop

I want to reccomend a freewrite by @wonderwop Reading this freewrite I felt that urgency I always feel when I hear ambulances or see accidents and Bruni wrote this with good description placing me in the action. I loved this...
God bless our first responders! The story ended even better that the two people involved came out okay. I have always worried when I see accidents or hear ambulances go by and say a quiet prayer for those involved.~ @wandrnrose7

@wordymouth

My nomination is the Smooth as Silk freewrite by @wordymouth
I think he does as incredible job of setting the scene in such a short space; you can feel the heat and energy in the church. There's also a real sense of the narrator's innocence and it calls up more than a few questions about a situation that's outwardly prosaic and straightforward. ~ @sidequest
