Writers must choose their words carefully.
Do you want to be accurate or dramatic, for example?
In typically troll-baiting mode this evening (I spent the evening eating free lefsa and with a Pomeranian dog on my lap), I trundled on over to my favorite addiction and unloaded:
I try to save the dramatic “God Help Us” finale for things like:
1. Ships that have hit an iceberg and are sinking.
2. Zombie attacks, particularly when the outlook is bad and the camera is fading to black.
3. Things in life that actually matter in which we need God’s help.I try not to waste the dramatic punch offered up by “God Help Us” on things like book reviews.
Just a little personal FYI.
In the midst of feverish blogging, things seem So Important. There are Important Things Of Truth and Face-Saving at Stake!!!
So, we bring out the big guns.
- God help us.
- To whom it may concern.
- Once upon a time.
(Please disregard #2 and #3. I am too lazy to do research.)
Most of the time, blogging is navel gazing followed up by bad grammar in the comments section. Sometimes, though, when we bloggers find a ginormous piece of lint in our navel, we go berserk.
God help us.
