Here’s a post I like from writer JA Konrath. The topic is writing, but really it’s about Life in the Real World.
I would love to talk more about all the ways these writing truths are also life truths, but I’m in Duck Mode today (as opposed to Daffy Duck or Duck on Fire modes)… Oooooh, duck metaphors! I’ve always enjoyed watching ducks swim — so graceful, so smooth. Then when I was little, I found out that underneath the water they’re whap whap whapping with those webby feet, working like hell for the forward motion. So that’s me today, places to go and things to do, and paddling like hell. Moving forward, I hope, with a certain duck-on-water grace. The other duck modes are not so pretty (grin).
Quack quack to you all.
