Day 1503: 5 Minute Freewrite: Thursday - Prompt: wire basket
If you live in the US, today, you are celebrating Thanksgiving. Or not, however that might be for you. As a nation, many Turkeys are being cooked today and families are gathering.
If you are celebrating: Happy Thanksgiving!
For all of you interested in US History, here is a link to one of my favorite podcasts Now & Then. The Thanksgiving episode will give you all some background you didn't learn in school.

@sydroc started to use the prompt as an inspiration for a drawing. You all are invited to do the same.
Since our Freewrite community is growing, we decided to revive our Freewrite Discord for Freewriters to hang out, talk to each other, and have some fun. I am offering the Freewrite Prompt on several platforms - not everyone is going to be on Hive.

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](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english
Happy Thanksgiving to you too. We don’t celebrate this holiday (of course) in South Africa, and since I’m one of “THOSE” Vegetarians, I’d never slice a turkey, but, anyway. Happy, Happy 😃 to all. Here’s my post for today. Love this thread like it’s a piece of heaven. LoL. https://ecency.com/hive-161155/@itsostylish/day-1503-5-minute-freewrite
I didn't eat meat for many years :) And now, I do my best to support those that raise animals in an animal-oriented way and with regenerative practices. It cost a lot more, but meat should be a very small part of the diet IMO.
The turkey I was cooking was gifted to us and food waste is a big nono in my world - and my husband loves meat. What can I say lol
Happy thanksgiving to all those in the USA!

Una historia triste a la par que linda
Son vivencias que no se olvidan, pero que terminan siendo riqueza.
