That Moment...

That moment when @Link the Writer ages/cultures himself.

I believe it's a blacksmithing reference. Each iron in the fire is a project you're working on.

 

Who's your avatar, @Lewdog ? Is he a book expert on Pawn Stars?

 

TMW you decide to challenge someone to write a book that combines ducks and phlogiston theory.

 

I figured that out the moment I made the post.

Now I need to check my retirement benefits because I'm apparently too old to get these young 'un's slang...

 

It means that you are trying to do too many things at once.

 

I agree. That's why I'm teaching myself to slow down, to focus on one project at a time, maybe dabble in one or two other side projects, but my full creative attention on only one project. That novella? Maybe it'll wait for later. All my story ideas are merely written down with the manuscripts prepared for the event I choose to work on them in the future, but for now, just one thing at a time. This is good advice, Lew.

 

Too young. Kids these days don't remember the honest work of a blacksmith!

 

TMW you wonder there will be another post actually mentioning "That Moment When".

 

That Moment When that post comes.

 

He's the crazy alien theory guy on the history channel.

 

@Lewdog I'm just gonna leave this here...

 

TMW the most powerful hurricane in the history of human record-keeping gets killed by Mexico's mountain ranges.

 

That moment when you actually call the crisis hotline.

 

The moment when you realize you really have nothing to say, and that the fly on your tongue isn't your friend, he's your 4 o'clock snack.

 

That moment when, the laptop you've been waiting two weeks for finally shows up after making a short stop at someone else's house.....only to have no power cord or operating system....

 

TMW you realize you may be the only person in America who doesn't like bacon.

 

TMW you tell @Ben414 that no, no that is not the case.

<-- Doesn't eat bacon.

 

TMW you become aware that the only two people in the USA who don't like bacon are both members of this forum. What a coincidence!

 

Make that three....

 

TMW you realize your fantasy is getting dark. And by dark, I mean creepy/scary by your standards.

Oh dear... what dark path will my brain take me. I'm scared to follow, but my curiosity and creativity demands that I must.

 

TMW you look up at the moon, expecting it to move across the sky. It didn't.

 

That moment when you know it says "Carrion Bird" on your screen, but the ion is obscured and your brain sees Carrot Bird instead.

 

TMW I'm watching "Worst Cooks in America" and realize that most of them are better than I am.

 

TMW...

You're in your American English class, and the teacher asks what a novel is defined by and you say, "A work usually 60k+ words" and everyone laughs uncomfortably.

I was right though.

I've been on the forum too much?? Haha

 

Make that four!
