A #selfie during a #freewrite? yep. My entry in the 5-minute freewrite with a prompt: an Aha moment!

@mariannewest has a #freewrite prompt she publishes daily and has for some time.

I decided I'd try my hand at writing #freewriter style, and just go for it. My text is below.

Here we go:

Trying to secretly move hampsters across state lines is tedious work. It takes quite a bit of effort to corral them up, and then get them across 100 miles of South Dakota scrubland into her northern sister state.

I never asked why there was a shortage of hampsters. I just new the laws of supply and demand. Matter of fact, it was those very laws that led to my current position as rodent hauler.

I had an "aha!" moment while sitting on my couch watching an informercial for live rodent wranglers, and propping up my busted foot from the Covid wars.

Nevermind how I came to the conclusion. All that matters is that I now had a job, and even if it smelled sometimes, (I mean, c'mon - no one expects hampster urine to smell great), it was still a job.

Now that gainful employment was hard to come by, even moving these little dues 100 miles was worth it.

Doing it in secret to avoid taxes for the parent company so I could keep my job, well that just made moving hampsters while avoiding detection a game of... wait for it:

Cat and mouse.

Also, tagging with #selfie for cross-pollination. Eww!

I am also trying to see if I can cross-pollinate posts by freewriting, yet including my #selfie and tagging my post with the appropriate tags. Let's see what happense.

The selfie above was take from my phone on a tripod on my desk.

Leave a comment about my text OR the photo. Bonus points for posting your own. :D

I also promote #alive and the #iamalivechallenge as well as the #aliveandthriving tags, all to encourage people to use the ALIVE token. I am alive and enjoying writing today. It has been a joy.
