How Many Five-Star Reads in 2024?

A brief-yet-ongoing journal of all things Carmi. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll reach for your mouse to click back to Google. But you'll be intrigued. And you'll feel compelled to return following your next bowl of oatmeal. With brown sugar. And milk.

I've got a "my left foot" tag on my blog. Mostly it's my left foot, photographed over a cliff.

I LOVE this quote, I can totally relate to it. Thanks for sharing this Carmi, it 'normalizes' the struggles I have from time to time. The midnight hour comes to mind, the day before a paper is due and I'm still writing at 5am, no time for an edit and bam it's time to be handed in. Somehow I've done amazingly well with those types of papers, it's the ones I give myself too much time to do that I edit the hell right out of them and miss the mark. Such is life... this quote now comes to mind:
"Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia"
~E.L. Doctorow
...... so write on!
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers.
