Ahhh, Grasshopper. The Journey of a Thousand Paragraphs begins with a single sentence...
"If you are not feeling well, if you have not slept, chocolate will revive you. But you have no chocolate! I think of that again and again! My dear, how will you ever manage?"

"You must understand, young Zono, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish."

I wrote another sentence. Can one really write a whole essay in single sentences? Or am I on a lost cause?

That's the *only* way it's done.


The space/time between the sentences can vary, however.


Keep writing, Grifhopper.  :)

Ha! I have now written over 500 words of the 3,000 required.

Probably lots to be cut out in the final draft, but cutting is easy compared to writing.

I would not go so far as the essay has shape, but at least the volume has grown.

I just need to keep this up. But will I?

Yes, you will.

Yes, you will.  


Could someone please add that to the smilies list!

Edit: and/or create a cephalopod version  :D
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

oooh! yes!

Darlica -- can you generate something like that?    :)

Sorry, I don't think I'll be able do something like that in a while.  :-[

Feel free to use my squidlings as base if you like to try something out. :)

I have a feeling a meditating one should be amethyst coloured (the chakra colour for the mind) well since radiating white light is a tad bit difficult to portray in a pic that small.  :D

Today I listened as my teenaged improvisation group discussed existentialism at lunch time. They likely didn't know that's what they were doing. It started out as a conversation about The Twilight Zone early television series, and ended up being about perception, the afterlife, and the great whatever. Rod Serling would have been pleased. I was pleased that my students have developed such a good rapport with each other.

It's so cool to hear these people wondering the same wonders we had back then, and still have today.

I just worked out, at current rate it will take 22 days to finish the essay. I therefore need to write more than 100 words a day or I will risk missing the deadline. The real deadline is a week or so earlier than the actual due date as one has to fiddle around getting the essay through the plagiarism software which is a total pain (not because I plagiarise, I am not that dumb, but because the software is crap and one has to fiddle around). I reckon I need a few days writing big(er than 100 words) chunks, with a scattering of more relaxed days on the 100 word type effort. I think I can manage this.
