Facebook-isms

cj Sez:  I know. I’m supposed to post an interesting and informative blog for our Lyrical Pens followers. Well, I procrastinated, so, instead, I’ll pass along some smiles and truisms that show up with regularity on my Facebook page.

I am a multitasking procrastinator.

I can put off several things at once. . . . and often do, as today. (sigh)

***

Today is Sunday.  Share this and within seven days, you’ll get another Sunday.

It really works!

One of my friends ignored this message, and he got a Monday within twenty-four hours.

Believe me, it works.

Subject-verb agreements

I write.

You write.

He writes.

She writes.

They write.

We all revise.

It’s funny how Red, White, and Blue represent freedom . . . until they’re flashing behind you.

But I’m a piker when it comes to atoms.

You can’t trust them.

They make up everything.

At two a.m.: I need to stop, I whispered to myself as I started another chapter. (cj Sez: That’s the book I hope to write one day.)

James Watkins: “To survive as a writer, you must develop a tough hide and a tender heart . . . and never, ever get the two switched.”

***

I am currently unsupervised. I know. It freaks me out, too . . . but the possibilities are endless!

Diablo Cody: “I don’t have a formal rewrite process. I just compulsively groom and re-groom scenes like a cat with OCD.”  (cj Sez: My method exactly.)

We are all precious in the sight of the Lord.

He may shake His head a lot, but we’re still precious.

Okay, that's all for now. You-all guys keep on keeping on, and I’ll try to do the same.
