Urania tidied the table.
Calliope organized the pencils.
Urania put away the clean dishes.
Calliope pulled receipts out of Typist’s purse and entered them into the checkbook register.
Urania reviewed a stack of scribbled notes.
Thalia growled. “Stop it! We’re going to start pouring words into Book 4’s document. Like a bowl of corn flakes, there will be sharp edges, irregular shapes, and a lot of crunch. That’s what editing is for. Let’s go!”
Words from Typist:
I saw a post on Instagram from @davidowenauthor that read:
Today I asked a 10-year-old girl if she wanted to be a writer. She answered: “I want to do the thinking part but not the writing part.”
So she’s already a writer.
First I laughed.
Next, I reflected.
Nia likes to think.
Cal likes to be.
Tal likes to do.
All three are needed, but there’s a reason Thalia is needed the most right now.

T-shirt: “I like to take my wife on romantic walks through the hardware store” 😁
(That's actually true for me & Deb. The scary thing is, she enjoys them. 💚)
>>"Like a bowl of corn flakes, there will be sharp edges, irregular shapes, and a lot of crunch. That’s what editing is for."
💚👏💚👍💚
Cal and Nia were really playing the wooden leg game with strategic stalling!
A professor of experimental psychology in graduate school described himself like the 10-year old girl. “I come up with the ideas. Others implement them.”
Progress, not perfection.
