PLATYPUS


                                             November 3, 2009

      Get things out of the way?
                                              Sometimes you need to
      Clear the decks, to make                "sleep on it" and
      way for "the sleep of the just".        "make a fresh start in
                                              the morning".


                          How many cliches,
                          pat sayings,
                          quotations can you
                          come up with that
                          rephrases this
                          kind of wisdom?

   "Well begun is half done."
                                                What are you looking
                                                for when you choose
                                                to write about it
                            HOMILETICS          again, what
                                                difference,
      The converse of "homelitics":             what freshness, do
      wisdom that's not half-formed,            you hope to achieve?
      but over-formed.
                                                   Maybe it's just a matter
                                                   of choosing the right
                                                   platitude.
         Definitely related to
         that problem with                            There are so many,
         "self-help" material:                        and so many
         ideas that aren't                            contradictory ones,
         necessarily wrong                            there needs to be
         but are indigestible                         some filtering
         because they're                              process, and this
         over-digested --                             business of
         presented (marketed?)                        re-discovering and
         to you in a way that's                       re-writing them is
         hard to take.                                one way, possibly
                                                      the only way.
