Yesterday was fascinating, particularly the running commentary of Averil’s work day.
And it got me thinking about how there’s a good side to most things. I have too much pain, but then again, I don’t have to live through workdays that were actually killing me one at a time anymore because of that. Yes, that was a wonderfully bad sentence. Maybe I’ll turn this into a Spectacularly Bad Sentence blog. It feels kinda nice to write a really crook sentence sometimes and just leave it that way.
Anyway, I kinda remembered that being mostly broke and unemployable and having to live in a bus and stuff is mostly pretty great if you don’t count the pain, so this is a shot of me hard at work writing or reading or something. I have to lie down cos I can’t sit, so this is it, this is where I work. And that’s my built in bookshelf, nice hey.
I was gonna ask something else, but I’m full of wild painkillers and forgot, so how about if you read this, write a splendiferously bad sentence as a comment. Go on…. you know you want to.
Nice. (That was barely a sentence, never mind a bad one.) No, wait—I have to add and exclamation point: Nice!
Too many exclamation points compared to words. Excellent!!!
Glad I could be there for you. (People say that all the time in my neck of the woods.) Wait, that’s two bad sentences! I could go on and on. . . .
Wow. You actually had to copy other people’s bad sentences. I’m impressed. And here I was expecting you to write a baaaaaad sentence. As in one I hoped my kids wouldn’t see until they turn 25 or so…
I wouldn’t do that in your sandbox, only in my own.
Are those your hairy i-pants? Just as well I can’t see the “i” or is that “u” pants? Oh geeze is this a splendiferouly bad sentence or do I have to keep trying? Now I have a headache. Bugger.
Well you were going strong until you got the headache. Better luck next time sis…
“Nice legs” she professed, but, later, to her friend of over 30 years or more, give or take a year or two, Marjorie or Marj as she was fondly called by her closest friends, confessed, “shame about the face”.
Well, that is a sensationally bad sentence. Congratulations. You are the winner of Bad Sentence Day. And from an editor too. Disgraceful…
“I’m so jealous,” she replied, obviously not seeing the whole picture.
Well now I’m confused. This is such a great bad sentence. If only my bad sentences could be this good, I’d be… I’d be… I’d be a writer !!!!
That is quite the view. MSB was right at Betsy’s. You are there.
Thanks Lisa. I’m really looking forward to being able to go places in the bus again.
Kinda stuck in one place until I have a back operation, but soon…
