So a while back, there, I had a couple of projects to edit that gave me fits. Why? Because I’m lazy, and they were hard.
So the-e-en, I got one from a writer who always sends a clean, proof-read, manuscript that I only have to look at to catch inconsistencies and places where she thinks she’s ‘splained something, but I didn’t get it.
And I said,
Editing her book is like going down a water slide naked and covered in butter.
And it was, insofar as I can imagine such an activity. They didn’t have that at Fountain Ferry. (Yes, I know it’s Fontaine Ferry, but Fountain Ferry was what we called it, right?)

A WRITING PROMPT BASED ON MY POST: Write about an amusement park. Or butter.

June 6, 2018 at 8:56pmAh, I love a good metaphorical Waterslide in the Morning!
Neither of us needs that much butter!
Enter PAM to the rescue!

June 7, 2018 at 2:59pmIt is because when I was young, Klick, Kam, and Spam were my favourite lunch meats. I then outgrew this, and moved on to “tube steak”, otherwise called baloney…..
Now, I am onto thin ham slices….
Yes, I sympathize. So if you and Holly are crying….
Remember: I am what I eat.
You could say I come by this naturally…..

June 6, 2018 at 4:58pmThe image will stay with me, you can be sure. Don’t know if that is good or bad.
What does it then mean when I self-edit? I have to buy butter?
Not a good plan.
But you go ahead; I don’t tell other adults what to do.
Please post pictures. They will be MOST interesting.

June 7, 2018 at 8:28amI’ll post a picture tomorrow (Friday). No, if you self-edit, butter is taken internally.
