Happy Hump Day
There was a time when truth could be poured out in an endless stream of words. Pages and pages spent exploring the human condition. Or whatever. Now words are limited. Blogs, posts, tweets - each shorter than the last - carrying in a handful of words those critical messages.
Today we're going to look at one of those great vehicles of highly condenced truth:
THE T-SHIRT
Of course, this is a blog about writing, so I'm limiting our tour to t-shirt truths on the subject of writing.
We all know what it takes to get the job done.
Of course, sometimes you've battled back all your distractions only to find your muse has flown.
But you push on, getting your first draft completed. Time to edit. So you call in the...
Sometimes these guys get a little grumpy, especially if you make the same mistakes over and over.
Still, you can't let that slow you down. Every writer knows...
And so you have. It's written, it's polished, it's published. Time to remind the world...
So, as we end our t-shirt truth tour, let me just say ....
How about you? Seen any good t-shirt truths lately?
And I can't deny you your Hump Day "Aw".
Happy Hump Day.
Groaner of the Day: Two men were in the process of inventing a new brand of gum. They were arguing over the fact that their new gum was too hard and brittle and didn't have the right consistency.
One of the inventors insisted they simply had to add more liquid to their primary secret ingredient, code named "Yewin".
The other argued adamantly. "No, No, No! It's not wetter Yewin that counts... it's how you ply the gum!"
(ouch)
Neat t-shirts!
