Hey there. How’s it going? Fine I hope, like maybe your world has been especially creative lately, and you’ve actually drawn about it, or photographed it for future inspiration, or written a few lines down in your secret little mole skin notebook. (I have one and love it.)

Or if your world has NOT been that way, if it actually has been totally contrary, and you are down in those miserable dumps concerning nearly everything, I offer a little laugh for you. I wrote it a couple years back and read it, then, to my crit group, Renegade Writers. Yeah, yeah, it was first draft, but really. Didn’t I know better? Of course I did. But did I guffaw as soon as the words came out of my mouth? Yes, I did! So here goes, I offer, for your enjoyment, my sacrifice:

“He turned to leave the room, and her eyes fell to the floor.”

Go ahead.

Laugh.
