Day 76: 5 Minute Freewrite - Prompt: ducks
I need some help. My semi-vacation is coming to an end and I won't have that much time for Steemit anymore. Don't worry, the daily prompts will continue. What I need is some readers.
As you might know, I have made it a point to visit all of you, read your freewrites and leave you the next prompt. I think we all like the idea that at least one person reads what we wrote. With less time for the platform, I might not be able to do that every day.
That is where you come in. I would love for some of you to take on one day a week and read every freewrite for that day, leave a comment and drop a link. Or maybe two of you share a day.
Let me know if you are up for that either in the comments or in the discord freewrite room. Thank you!!
Update: @svashta had the great idea to create a google spreadsheet you all can access to add your name if you are interested . Here is the link to the spreadsheet
I totally understand if a commitment is too much but love if you visit and comment on your fellow freewriters' posts whenever you can.
Thank you!
Please welcome our newest freewriters @lucylin and @dakini5d
Every day, I am inviting you to visit one and leave some comments and votes. Today, please visit @wonderwop

Sounds perfect to me! :D

Today's freewrite is a little dirty:
Rubber Duck and Shit Pool
I gotta admit I've been lazy reading other's freewrites. I'll make sure to fix that.
Here's my story, simply called 'Duck.'
https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mr-neil/duck-5-minute-freewrite
I can't really commit to request, I'll be back at work myself. I do try to read some of them.
Thank you!!
Alright, here's my duck entry. Sorry, it's not really a story because I'm just not feeling the muse. Still, I had more fun with it than I thought I would.
