When professionals take a moment to have fun, we can enjoy the spectacle.
See what I mean with today’s video of a doubles match held at Wimbledon earlier this summer.

Ditch the Deadlines
Thanks for that laugh on a Friday. So funny.
Thoughts go round and round in my head until I hit the winning shot with words on the page!
Love the writing metaphor! The intellectual stimulation of ideas, learning, writing makes us all better players.
The stories you most want to write will keep circling in your head and not give up until you write them.
Never been into sports EXCEPT I love to watch tennis!
“Lighten up!” Sometimes our writing can get stagnant. A reminder that readers like humor.
The obvious metaphors applting to writing might be:
1-Going aaround in circles (not a good thing
or
2-Seeing issues from both sides (reccommended)
ugh! typos! sorry!

See… we writers are the only crazy ones. LOL Thanks for verifying that, Steve. 🙂
That should say, “aren’t.” I was laughing too hard to type. LOL
Stuck? Throw out the box! There’s always another word, another approach, another way to do things.
Sometimes I find myself envious of other Christian authors. As if it’s a competition. When actually, we’re all on the same team. Thanks, Steve.
Teamwork is all well and good until somebody drops the ball!
Delightful! They remind me of the plate spinner from the Ed Sullivan Show….Thanks for sharing!
I think of a favorite quote:
“You alone can do this!
You cannot do this alone!”
Seems to fit so much.
Just the fun I needed this Friday. Thanks, Steve!
Makes me think of my 3 critique partners as we share our work an have some fun at it too!
Lol, that was fun.
