There are two things that I love doing above all other
things. I love to write and I love to laugh. After I’ve sufficiently snoozed my
six alarms and finally rolled myself out of bed, those are the two activities I
plan my
day around. Thankfully, laughing doesn’t require any real time scheduling.
It can happen at pretty much any moment. And does. Because, let’s face it, life
on the whole is pretty funny.
Writing requires a little more time management. Though, I’ve
found, as long as I carry a pen and some scrap of paper, I’m good to go. The
scrap of paper isn’t really even necessary. I mean, I can always write on my
hands, right?
So, most days….easy peasy. But we all have some days where
things don’t quite line up the way we want them to. Maybe we’re chasing an idea
around and can’t quite get a handle on it. Or perhaps we’ve misplaced our laugh
throughout the day and can’t remember where we left it.
When I run into these situations, I know it’s time to reach
out to some helping hands.
Writing myself in circles? Here are the folks who get me
back on the straight and narrow:

I so enjoy Hyperbole and a Half! I just read recently that her book will be coming out soon... :)

DeleteHello, Kelly! This is such a nice post shouting out to your buddies. My husband keeps me laughing and knows how to give me a good kick in the writing engine! We've been friends since we were seven, so he knows me VERY well!

Lucky for me, my own guilty conscious is there to keep me in line. If I go a day without writing, my conscious has no problem chiding me relentlessly until I write twice as long the next day. ;-)
