Why No Editing SUCKS

So I decided to dive back in to writing. And see, I have this thing, where I don't like the little red squiggly lines that appear under words I've misspelled. I want to fix them IMMEDIATELY. Which means that I usually get about half-way through a scene before i get so fed up with the lines that I stop writing and immediately have to correct it all. And by the time I'm done with all that......the writing train has left the station. I'm doing it right now even! STOP IT. YOU CAN EDIT THIS LATER, FOOL. bejeeezus...

The logical thing would be for me to just turn off those squiggly red lines....but logic Pshhh, what fun is that old thing?!

The Mercy Project






So a friend of mine who is studying alot of ethics related areas right now was talking with me and my psych obsessed friend about something he likes to call the "Mercy Project". Basically, it's a way of living, where every day you do something that will relieve some small weight on someone's shoulders. Whether it be lettignt hem off on those two bucks they owe you, telling them they have a great smile when they're having an "ugly day" or forgiving someone for something that isn't really that important. These small acts of "mercy" start to foster a warm, inviting aura and are supposedly very good for business (thats the ethics part).

But my psych friend was talking about how these random acts of kindness are actually extremely beneficial for the psyche of the person delivering them. Apparently, the hormone released when one does a good deed have a similar affect to the endorphins released from exercise. So while you may not burn calories from giving someone a word of encouragement, you can get a rush yourself...

Something to think about implementing, eh?

Stay Beautiful, Loves,
