- Sleep in
- Flip through a magazine
- Lay by a body of water
- Write more
- Chat on the phone
This reminds me, I wrote an essay — a tribute to sloth in an overachieving culture wherein I advise you to:
- do less
- stay off the grid
- aim low
This appeared in this weekend’s Times Union commentary section. Proud.
Maybe if I had a second extra hour, I’d spend that time querying other magazines and newspapers with my funny, short essays.
I sent that essay to the newspaper as part of my challenge to query 7 places in 7 days. I may challenge myself with that again. But maybe in November, because in October my challenge is to post every single day. And besides that, I’m a little lazy.
Need. more. coffee.
This post is in response to the Daily Post:
Good news — another hour has just been added to every 24-hour day (don’t ask us how. We have powers). How do you use those extra sixty minutes?
Congrats on your success 🙂
thanks. it definitely is affirming to have outside editors publish the work!
Wish you all the best on your successful writing career
thanks! one article at a time!
Just got around to reading your column in the Times-Union (was I being lazy?) and really liked it, Mary Beth. Think you’ve got something there…
