Change

In a graduation speech at the University of Michigan, Cathy Guisewite said, "If you want something to change, do something different." She did not say "do something differently", meaning take something you're already doing and tweak it a bit. By using an adjective to modify something, She suggested an entirely new approach.

Major revisions are difficult. Even a short novel is unwieldy to turn inside out and attack from a different angle. I've decided to start the revolution.

Today I sent my fictional heroes to Laguna Beach. They had a lousy time, but I enjoyed my mini, expense-free vacation on a gray Michigan day.
