Six Sentences -the Wakefield Doctrine- (what?! that’s it… I can write a simple Post title, ya know’)

November 26, 2015 By

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

I’m at my office. Those are the warm red, green and white lights of the strip mall across the street in the photo above. So far, the biggest challenge I’ve encountered in my recent efforts to learn to write good, is finding the time when I have a keyboard and I’m in the mood. Mood, as it pertains to (my) attempts to acquire skill in the art of wordifying, presents the more intractable condition. No doubt because it, (mood), lies in the realm of the life emotional and, therefore, resists definition. Be that as it may, I’m glad that zoe has this here bloghop here, going every Thursday. Nothing like a deadline to get the creative juices flowing! My Six Sentence Story, this Thanksgiving 2015:

 

Fable of Grapes

“But I don’t wanna go to bed! It’s still light out and all the kids are still outside!”

“But none of my friends have to stay in today…it’s not fair!”

“I don’t want to take that medicine! It tastes bad and besides I already took it but you don’t believe me!”

Let the oenophiles say what they will, aged whines are really no better, (and no worse), than young ones.

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

      yeah I know what you mean… (as a late to the game but now totally obsessed writer wannabe… I get something from the constraints inherent in the format of the Six Sentence Story*)

      *see? lol

    As one who is on the older side of the spectrum, I can say without a doubt that we do our share of whining and I love the play on words! Very clever!

      thank you Josie…. I’ve never been comfortable with the term whine, I prefer to think of what I do (at times) as providing an alternate emotional inflection

    Whiny kids were a pain at school and at weekends when I was growing up in WW2. Everything was short even us!

    Aged whines…bwahahahaa! That’s a great wordplay, Clark. Well done!
    Love the shot of your office – that is your real office? Nice.

    I usually think of whining coming from a child, and complaining …coming from an old person. Either way you look at it…the result is the same. Not appealing !
