By definition, trying not to flounder means struggling not to struggle. Far too much to wrap my insufficiently caffeinated brain around.
If I were to say I flounder with one thing in life consistently, it’s getting up in the morning.
I actually shocked myself one day not too long ago—I’m going to say it’s been a few weeks now—when I woke up and realized there was something I needed to do, and I sat up and put my slippers on without even thinking about it.
That never happens!
Okay, it happens once.
But you get what I mean.
Is that how early risers do it every day?
Seriously, I want to know.
My dear friend Dar is the founder of a new February prompt called Floundering February! Here’s the link. Check it out and join in. It’s fun!
Someone handed out advice in one of my editors’ groups today saying we shouldn’t correct anyone’s grammar unless we’re being paid to.
I said those are words I live by. Also, they’re words I live on.
(Get it?)
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure. To execute a pingback, just copy the URL in the address bar on this post, and paste it somewhere in the body of your post. Your link will show up in the comments below. Please ensure that the One-Liner Wednesday you’re pinging back to is this week’s! Otherwise, no one will likely see it but me.
NOTE: Pingbacks only work from WordPress sites. If you’re self-hosted or are participating from another host, like Blogger, please leave a link to your post in the comments below.
As with Stream of Consciousness Saturday (SoCS), if you see a pingback from someone else in my comment section, click and have a read. It’s bound to be short and sweet.
Unlike SoCS, this is not a prompt so there’s no need to stick to the same “theme.”
The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
I woke up the other day with the cat staring down at me. But do you think he’ll look at me when I’m trying to take his picture?
No way.

Note: It’s our last week for this badge! See the previous post for contest rules to design our new #1linerWeds badge.
Bye, little monkey. We’ll miss you!
