Pursuant to my repeated failures in cooking with sourdough starter, I embrace this quote:

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.” – W. C. Fields

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

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Someone decides to quit.

About Marian Allen

Then I’m a damn fool.

Any reasonable person would have quit months ago.

But I’m learning and glad I’ve spent all this time on a particular piece of research, because I have plans for some of the little details I love.

And, as I keep telling myself, what else would I do with this time? From my time on days when I simply can’t kick the brain on, I do NOT want to spend the rest of my life ‘entertaining myself’! I’d rather work, even if ‘work’ is the biggest euphemism possible.

  Well, one can’t always take W.C. Fields’ advice. In fact, one SHOULDN’T take a lot of his advice. lol
