Excuses, Excuses #1LinerWeds

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Marian Allen

Writers are an ever-flowing spring — or possibly a bottomless pit — of one-liners.

This one again comes from a member of the Southern Indiana Writers Group.

I can’t write my children’s picture book on geometry because I lost my damn stencils.

This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s weekly blog hop, One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner or just like them, follow this link.

A WRITING PROMPT BASED ON MY POST: Have a character do something with stencils. Decorate furniture? Fancy up a t-shirt? Embroider? Write a ransom note?

Time to improvise – Juice boxes, cat food cans, ketchup bottles (Heinz bottle have 8 sides), Doritos are almost triangles – raid the pantry girl 🙂

Kind of a non sequitur, really. I would imagine a ruler, compass, and a protractor would be enough…
