It was only a few days since I bought it
The trout, that is.
I took it out of the frige for dinner
But hmm?
Did it smell more than it should?
I’ve never bought trout before…
So I wasn’t sure if trout is fishier than other fish.
I’d paid a nice price for it…
So I’d hate to throw it out.
But if it was going rotten…
I’d hate to upchuck.
Oh, what to do? What to do?
Hmm?
Why did this choice feel familiar…
To one I had made earlier in the day?
That choice though wasn’t about smelly fish…
But rather it was about a chapter in my W.I.P…
That I’ve been editing.
I read it again for the umpteenth time when…
Eeuuww!
It reeked!
Of dull, lifeless copy.
It didn’t add anything to the story.
In fact, taking it out would make the pacing better.
But I’d spent so much time on it…
And didn't want to throw it out.
Oh, what to do? What to do?
By the end of the evening…
I made my choices…
I ate the fish…
And chucked the chapter.
And this morning?
My stomach is good…
And my W.I.P…
Better.
Ah!
Always, Em-Musing

My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post's to be just what I'm looking for.
Do you offer guest writers to write content in your case?
I wouldn't mind producing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome web site!

Hello! I realize this is kind of off-topic however I had to ask.
Does building a well-established blog such as yours take a massive amount work?
I'm brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary every day. I'd like
to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and feelings online.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners.
Appreciate it!

This design is wicked! You most certainly know
how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start
my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you
had to say, and more than that, how you presented
it. Too cool!

Surfing around delicious.com I noticed your web site
book-marked as: Blogger: Em-Musing. Now i'm assuming you bookmarked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a good deal of visitors? I've been thinking of doing some book-marking for a few of
my websites but wasn't sure if it would produce any positive results. Thank you very much.

I am curious to find out what blog platform
you are working with? I'm experiencing some small security issues with my latest website and I'd like to find something more safe.
Do you have any suggestions?

I've loaded your blog in Several totally different web browsers and I must say your blog loads a lot faster then most. Would you mind e-mailing me the company name of your website hosting company? My personal e-mail is: debgalloway@yahoo.com. I will even sign up through your own affiliate link if you'd like.
Appreciate it

I'm new to building web sites and I was wondering if having your website title relevant to your articles and other content really that vital? I notice your title, "Blogger: Em-Musing " does seem to be spot on with what your blog is about but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Howdy. I'm wondering if you would be interested in doing a website link exchange? I see your website: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=726301007480663156&postID=2720165419208965808 and my website are structured around the same subject matter. I'd really like to switch links or perhaps
guest author a write-up for you. Here is my personal contact:
