Time for another swift post I think.
Having been distracted by TV and the internet I’m starting a little later than planned and have to take Number Two Son to work in an hour.
I also have a haiku to re-write, which is more difficult than it sounds, considering that it only has three lines. I’m told that two of the lines say almost the same thing, which makes for a weak haiku. My plan was to rewrite one line. It seemed logical. It seemed a quick and easy fix.
It’s taken me 24 hours now and it’s not going well. Fortunately I told the editor it would take me a couple of days, so I’m safe for now. It will be another 24 hours before he finds out he’s dealing with an idiot.
Sorry, I drifted off into haikuland there and spent 20 minutes rewriting, checked my emails, read some posts by other people and then realised I was meant to be posting.
I’ll do better tomorrow…
The shorter the piece, the more difficult the editing. This makes editing haiku the hardest of all. Good luck!
🙂 Thank you.
Nearly as short as a haiku!
I may try a seventeen syllable post. Should be a challenge. 🙂
I’ll ditto that – good luck!
Thank you. 🙂

Good luck with the rewrite.
Thank you. I think I have the solution. It came to me while I was in the car after dropping off No 2 Son. Now, if only I can remember it…
