Looking back, I had a couple of firsts on this platform last couple of days. The first first was last Friday, I did my first #freewrite post, following the prompt "Posted". I have wanted to try freewriting when I first came across the #freewrite tag some time last year but wasn't sure how the prompts work, especially when weekend comes, when I am ready to freewrite, the prompts look different, in 3 parts from Friday through Sunday. But I just realised that we can also choose to write any of the single prompts 😅. Now why did I not see that before? And I know some of you join #freewrite diligently 😃.
My second, third and fourth firsts - I finally posted my first D.tube video which was my first #freewritehouse post and my first advertising attempt for a contest hosted by @freewritehouse and @felt.buzz! I was thinking and looking for an inspiration throughout the week but nothing came knocking until yesterday, when I came across a Youtube video of Taylor Swift and Zac Efron singing the "Pumped Up Kicks" song by Foster the People on the Ellen Degeneres show.
I have always been curious as to how posting via D.tube works and yesterday, I found out how 😄. And boy, it is not easy to record an audio!! I think I recorded about 30 to 40 takes before I felt kind of okay with the result and recording needs a calm and steady mind, else you will keep making mistakes which results in 30 to 40 takes 😜. I told myself that I cannot play the guitar any longer because my fingers were killing me and if I don't get it right, I will have nothing to post for the contest 😱! Surprisingly, after that little pep talk, my last few takes were pretty acceptable.
After I had my approved audio recording, I realised, I do not have a video. So, I started playing with a presentation software that comes with some standard animation movements and came up with a simple presentation as there wasn't much time left before the contest ends. If you would like to "hear" me, you can check out the video (but you will need sufficient bandwidth for the video to play). Sorry, I am still camera shy and you won't be seeing my face there 😊.
I think I quite like freewriting, following the daily prompts and posting a D.tube video. I am looking forward to posting more #freewrite and #d.tube, but maybe not so soon, lets see hehe.

My Actifit Today: June 26 2019
A usual day of daily chores, walking to the office from where my car was parked, walking around the office and to lunch and back. I am thankful for my legs.
