"Commercial street runs through the middle of Provincetown and I walked past the neat New England stores selling lobsters and sex toys." Author needs an editor. Or maybe the author is casually letting us know of his side hustle.

I had to relisten (audio book) to this sentence a couple of times.

Needs an editor. Author told a story about how a Target salesperson could not understand that the author wanted a cell phone without Internet (this was evidence of how our culture has become Internet-centric). My first thought is maybe Target (the store) did not have what you want at all, but the salesperson is trying to find something close. Author later admits he found the only suitable phone elsewhere.

When a journalist decides to write a book like a newspaper article or blog rather than as an author.

carol. What? You don't casually pick up a sex toy when you're picking up your evening lobster? (Or vice versa?) 😁

Actually, during my evening of lobster sales, I casually sell sex toys.

Now that you mention it...hmmm.... until now, I didn't realize that this was tangential to "being focussed" because I was distracted...


message 5: by carol. (new)

carol. As long as the lobsters aren't the sex toys.

😁😂 Is there a sentence more clearly designed for distraction? I think not.
