Prompt: quadrillion

brought to you by @deaconlee

  • 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.

If your freewrite turns into a poem, please use in addition to #freewrite also either #freewritepoetry or #freewritepoetrydigest so we can find you!

  • 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 @snook's 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.

Please read, comment and vote (if you have voting power) on each others freewrites as much as you can. Especially if you are new to the platform, you will be surprised how many friendships are formed by reading and commenting on each other's work!

Writing help

  • 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

  • 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.

  • A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link

  • I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly and it will help you type faster and more accurately. 10 fast fingers

  • 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

  • Our discord channel Isle of Write has workshop rooms for fiction, non-fiction, and poetry where some of the experienced writers might be able to give some tips. Join with this link https://discord.gg/zfXNRnK

  • If you are ready to get serious about improving your understanding of the English language check out @majes.tytyty blog. He has lots of useful information to understand words and their roots better. If you have questions or need help, leave a comment on his blog.

  • If you know of other helpful tools or people, please share with us!

I don't know about you but this new rule thing for this contest has got me like ^^^. Technically, my entire hand was not submitted in my entry photo, just a few fingers. Well, here is my subliminal message though not really subliminal. Also, a lil bit of Eagle Spirit humor and well if you do not like seeing the bird then you many not want to see all my upcoming selfies for this contest. Just sayin'.

So, today's prompt is Quadrillion and I see many people posting a quadrillion words in their posts, as if that all got in there within five minutes. I dunno, maybe to day is just a venting type of day. Regardless, I thought of this cool game I played entitle Quadrillion, thus you see my mug with the game at the bottom left hand corner.

With the game you get to actually use the board as a puzzle. My nana had me start puzzles at a very young age, so I love me some puzzles. At 98 years old she's still puzzle strong, God Bless her, and I hope I will be right there too when I reach her age. God help me.

The age range for the game is from seven years old an up. There are starter to wizard levesl and the object of the game is to develop our logical capabilities. Four board pieces and ball shaped pieces all fit in a one small box. The board pieces are double sided, plastic, magnetic, and fun colors. This is a single player game.

Object of the game is to set up the board and get all the pieces on the board. There are a total of five levels and 60 puzzles. There is a book that assists in set up, just follow the photos supplied. The pieces that are left are the ones you have to try to fit into the empty places on the board. The only rules is to place all the pieces on the board in the circles and none can hang off the board.

Quadrillion is challenging, fun and an addictive puzzle game. I'd recommend it!

You are so funny. they are not new rules. Just saying that I am enforcing them now by popular demand. So far, all your selfies followed the rules...
Nothing to get excited about...

the hand/finger thing is what got me ... but its all good ... it was
