What's on your mind?

[angelsaroundme]

Heyyyyy, watch what you're saying, now. That was kind of my biggest weakness myself as a writer.

Lol, when you are wordy in the right way it's called detailed and fully realized. I wonder what kind of stories you wrote. ^-^

 

[mojoboy31]

Yeah, yeah.

I'm the one who needs to cope, not you.

I don’t know if it’s b/c I’ve been sick the past couple of days, but lately I’ve felt so thankful I’m single. You lose so many freedoms if in a relationship, especially married. I like living by myself so much. I had a roommate I really liked once, but I remember always looking forward to when I could live by myself. It’s nice being able to only have to care about myself. Shop for just myself. Cook for just myself.

I couldn't even think of anything witty to say, so I put it RIGHT BACK IN YOUR FACE.

Reading can sometimes help with falling asleep.

You are absolutely right! What kind of books help you?

My associate hadda leave early, so I have to close the vision center for lunch break, and of course, I hear people grumbling about us being closed for lunch, and they call the vision center phone, hoping I'll be dumb enough to come out onto the salesfloor so they can intercept me

And you fell for it, didn't you?

Remember, like I always tell you, this is a safe place.

I fell for it once during the early days of Covid. My previous manager had a habit of scheduling me by myself and or bailing on her shift to leave me alone. So I would frequently have to close down to take my meal break. Heard the phone ring and went to check in case it was the manager or market director, and got caught by a customer standing at the ropes with their phone in hand, and an evil sneer on their face.

Never again! Lol

Ugh, people these days!

You should have snapped a picture and post it on www.peopleofwalmart.com

Boy, you should just do it. You're the manager. Not the assistant TO regional manager, but the actual manager.

GET ON IT.

This couple has been standing at the ropes, complaining loudly the last 25 minutes. I have five minutes left until I can clock in. Wish me luck.

 

[mojoboy31]

Welp, it's been fun. Time to go face the music.

I salute you, sir.

In the case I am thinking of, I meant that I often made individual sentences too long, and kept elaborating on ideas and phrases too many times, I think, reminding the player of the game where I wrote the dialogue of things they learned just moments ago and probably did not forget as easily I apparently subconsciously thought that they would. Offhand it's hard for me to think of an example where I am reiterating the words just right for you to understand, but hopefully you got what I mean. ^-^

No surprise that that would actually be a thing.

I bought an adult coloring book of the website one time as a funny gift for my family Christmas gift exchange, haha.

You've never heard of the website, SK?

Hmm, I think I had a problem with run on sentences too, but I've gotten better at it. Reminding people of things can be good. C.S. Lewis does that sometimes in the Narnia books. I feel like writers can be their own worst critics. Anything can be picked apart but at the same time that story could be loved by millions.

I like anything that is similar to a fairy tale and I like to learn about other cultures and the past. I'm more into the far-off past than anything recent. When I read and learn something I feel productive which makes me satisfied and then it's easier to sleep. What do you read?

Sure haven't, and now that I briefly saw what was behind the link, I really wish I never had.
