Off the Cuff / My Other Journal

by Joy

Rated: 13+ · Book · Writing · #932976

Impromptu writing, whatever comes...on writing or whatever the question of the day is.

Thank you Marci Missing Everyone

for this lovely sig.

I've been blogging all through my days without knowing that it was blogging; although, this isn't necessarily the only thing I do without knowing what I'm doing.

Since I write on anything that's available around me, my life has been full of pieces of scribbled paper flying about like confetti. I'm so happy to finally have a permanent place to chew the fat.

So far my chewing the fat is on and off.

Maybe, I lack teeth.

Feel free to comment, if you wish.

Given by Blainecindy, the mayor of Blog City

Thank you very much, Cindy, for this honor and the beautiful graphic.

In response to "I Love the British!"

I, too, have a love for the British in a great variety of ways.

"God save the queen, we mean it maaaannnnn!" - The Sex Pistols.

"We are the Sherlock Holmes, English speaking vernacular,
God save, Fu Mann Chu, Moriarty and Dracula..." - The Kinks

Sorry, but I must recommend the British comedy, "Outnumbered," which can be streamed for free on Dailymotion. I love the little girl, "Karen."

Lastly, Long live British Leyland. (How I love those terrible cars)

I love the idea of following your bliss, Joy

It fits in with my philosophy of life perfectly.

In response to "Characters Playing Together"

Actually, Joy, I put to and too together and for once did not come out with a strange square. ( two early in the morning... )

@ alfred booth, wanbli ska

Thanks, Alfred.
Walter is Jerry. At the time I was writing this, hubby was talking about a Walter we knew.

That's what happens when I'm trying to hastily put together something right before midnight while he keeps talking to me.
Thanks for picking it up. I'll correct it.

In response to "Characters Playing Together"

Who's Walter in the story 's second paragraph?
You easily set the scene for a compelling story of self-search and attainment. Or atonement.
Perhaps one day you'll happen upon a blog prompt asking you to complete a sketch you wrote recently!

In response to "That Perpetual Challenge"

I really like your Hemingway quote and I agree. It seems like we always have awesome ideas in mind, but when it comes time to putting it on paper... it falls short a bit.

Hemingway has the right idea. I give him that. Nice entry and all writers can relate.

In response to "Breaking..."

I agree with you; I don't like breaking things either whether it's an object, a friendship, a relationship, etc! It always makes me really sad when I break a friendship.

In response to "Breaking..."

Picasso's quote is valuable for all of the creative arts. That's how music exists, unfolding around the gentle breaking of the pulse called allowing the phrases to breathe.

I was brought up by a woman who changed the rules daily. Indonmynbest, especially with my students, never to bend them so that they have something they can rely on. It may not always be fair, but they always know where they stand with me.
