<center></center> ### Day 4 brought to you by @brisby So we all know what a freewrite is, if not head [here](https://steemit.com/freewrite/@freewritehouse/what-is-a-freewrite-our-version-and-your-ideas), and have had our kicks going wild with a prompt. Then we've had the pleasure of reading someone else's story and seeing a bit into their creative, passionate, hilarious and sometimes devious minds. 😎 We'll leave comments for the writer, learning more about *them* and creating those connections that make our freewriting group one of the best there is on Steemit! That's a lot of *WE* ! <center>https://media.giphy.com/media/l41lNRz0uXPQLm0RG/giphy.gif</center> We-Writes come from the excitement of sharing the joy in creating a story! They add another level of challenge and fun to the freewriting experience! Back on the [Day 100 Celebration](https://steemit.com/freewrite/@mariannewest/day-100-freewrite-history-and-a-contest-of-sorts) @mariannewest posted the dare for everyone to pick a partner and collaborate. So many of our community rose to the occasion and created *amazing* stories together! Everyone had a blast and were able to enjoy learning more about each other! Why let the fun stop there? We-Writes can be done anytime! There's no need to wait for a contest, although who knows what the future will bring? 😉  ### <center>How Do We Play?</center> There are three ways to do this. They require correspondence through comments, Discord, Steemit Chat, email, or a shared document. Google doc is a free option. @snook wrote a terrific post explaining how to share a document if you have never made one. [Here is her post.](https://steemit.com/steemit/@snook/shareable-google-document-how-to) To work out any kinks, @snook and I beta tested the We-Write process and our story can be read [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B29K2DaRH7_EFU7LkXi-O1-525Nb5Y_iBBYhVrxZ3dE/edit) <b><h3>*Helpful tip: Plan how post payouts will be shared with your partner beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.*😁 </h3></b> <b><h3>Option 1</h3></b> <ol> <li>Pick a partner and open up a shared Google doc.</li> <li>Decide who will begin writing.</li> <li>Prepare a timer for each writer. Alternate writing for 1 minute each.</li> <li>Use the word “Go” to let the other know that it was their turn.</li> <li>Use the prompt provided.</li> <li>Put the word/phrase at the top of the page.</li> <li>The first freewriter sets a timer for 1 minute and begins writing.</li> <li>When the minute is up, type the word “GO” to let the next writer know to begin.</li> <li>Carry on, alternating turns, until 10 minutes have passed (each has written for 5 minutes).</li> <li>Combine the sentences (cleaning up the formatting and removing the “Go’s” if you wish).</li> <li>Place the “cleaned up” version of the story below the exercise.</li> <li>Submit the link and then enjoy reading that day’s freewrites!</li></ol> <b><h3>Option 2</h3></b> <ol> <li>Pick a partner and open up a shared Google doc.</li> <li>Decide who will begin writing.</li> <li>Set a timer for 10 minutes.</li> <li>First freewriter writes one sentence.</li> <li>Then, the other freewriter writes one sentence.</li> <li>Switch back and forth until the 10 minutes are over.</li></ol> <b><h3>Option 3</h3></b>- This option is especially good if you can't find a time which suits both writers <ol> <li>Each freewriter writes a 5 minute freewite.</li> <li>Exchange the freewites (This can be done in comments, through Discord, Steemit Chat, or email)</li> <li>Write 5 more minutes on the partners freewrite and finish the story.</li> <li>You can both publish the freewrites and if you want, add a bit on how that kind of writing felt to you.

Our Freewrite House is always ready to party!
