What if we could proofread
our life – edit it in the moment –
patch over the rough spots –
change the dragon lady
into a polished princess?
Don’t know about you,
but I prefer fire to ice…

Proofreading and editing my life would be quite the task! But, yeah, I prefer fire to ice and let my inner dragon roar. Truly, a brilliant piece, VJ.

Bought a smile to my face and a lift to my heart. Its hard being a fire lighter in a world of ice queens.

If you edit it in the moment you’re not in the moment. The last thing I want on my tombstone is Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda.

Somehow I think there is no fear of that, Mike.

Do you think its because my family would struggle with the right font? I’m thinking Century Schoolbook but then they have to decide on size, leading, etc. Fuggetaboutit, I prefer fire. 🚬

Too much patchwork blocks the authentic – and if it’s fiery – so be it! Thanks for another thought provoker 🙂

I love this! Though I did hear that “ice […] is also great / and would suffice”. Strong opening, middle, and end. What more could a piece of writing need.
