"February 24, 2020"    DAY 2656: February 24, 2022"Prompt: A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.” ― Rita Mae Brown Write about a deadline." I always hated deadlines but I see the as a necessary evil. Without deadlines I would probably have never gotten anything I published done on schedule. I would have procrastinated and it would still be waiting. Deadlines give writers goals to reach, even though we hate them more than appreciate them. I always hated deadlines because I felt cramped and rushed but they are actually the spur that kept me going. When I became the owner and editor of my own magazine (now closed) I understood the purpose of deadlines. Deadlines kept me on schedule. I came to have a brand new appreciation for them from an administrative point of view. As much as we hate them they serve a purpose. Prompt: “It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace." ― Chuck Palahniuk What are your thoughts? Do you agree with Palahnuik's assessment that we learn so little from peace?"I would have to agree with this statement. I have often said that humans are like plants in that "we grow best when we're in deep poop." Therefore I have to agree with his statement. After all, which do we remember better: sadness and hardship or laughter and gaity? Sadness and hardship of course!      |
