Cool etc
Today, use the words, "cool," "quantum," "quandary," "quaint," and "cucumber in your post. I am past a deadline so will not be able to join in today's write, having my own madness to deal with. Have fun!
Well, I can tell you I went overtime on this. The soliloquy started as a status update on Facebook on my WIP and I decided to continue it along on here instead. Hardest part was figuring out how to get the words in there so I could put it on here. And then there was trying to stay true to the character I'm writing this about, that was super hard too. Anyway, I'll post it now:
Question mark, or exclamation mark--that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The confusion of outrageous inquisition Or to lose the quandary in strong excitement Through eagerness build dialogue. Build zeal, build strength-- Fervor--and by a strength to say we show The leadership, and quaint charisma The speaker is heir to. 'Tis a clarification Devoutly to be wished. Build zeal, build strength-- Build strength--perchance build pride: ay, there's the rub, For in cucumber cool strength what pride may show, What quantum faults of character May show disdain. There's the respect That makes calamity of exclamation.
