A Sentence A Day: The Critique Edition

November 15, 2021 By Janetti Spaghetti

No, you’re not seeing double!!!!!

A Sentence A Day post in the middle of the month? What’s that about?!!!!

Well.

Apparently, the last edition of A Sentence A Day just didn’t ‘cut the mustard’ according to the kidults.

It seems that it was:

  • Boring. Heck, maybe that’s because my life is pretty boring LOL, such is the reality of building a business – my work/life balance is way out of whack at the moment. I know that, BUT as I have two assistants about to come on board that should definitely help!
  • Lacking in detail.Β  Uh dur, it’s a SENTENCE a day, not a PARAGRAPH a day!
  • Not personal enough – mainly because I was trying to protect the identities of some …
  • In need of more pictures.
  • Too much about work – they’re not interested in that (see point one above!).

Savage!!!!!

In my defence, I wrote it late at night because I knew I would be scolded if it wasn’t published in a timely manner πŸ˜‰ .

Damned if I do, damned if I don’t!Β How did I manage to raise such tyrants?!!!

Anyways! Mr 27 thought I needed a bit of guidance so went to the effort of providing me with a proper critique.

It gave me a giggle so thought I’d post his comments here for your amusement too πŸ˜‰ . His comments are in blue:

1 October – Spent our Friday night relaxing on the deck and watching a storm pass through – much better than TV! Picture required.

2 October – It might be Saturday but with a couple of deadlines looming I put in a couple of hours’ at my desk, while the husbear pruned some trees out the back. Good.

3 October – Mr 27 and his GF hosted a BBQ so the two families could meet … must be getting serious hey?! Could have elaborated a little bit without giving too much away.

4 October – I decided toΒ  “click and collect” our groceries to make things easy on myself (have I mentioned work is absolutely nuts at the moment). HA! I drove around the carpark for ages, couldn’t find where to go; eventually I rang the store and got directions. When my groceries were eventually brought out to me I was told I had to load them myself … what the??! That’s not what the sign says! Good.

6 October – C’mon Janet.

7 October – I presented at a networking event on the other side of town, but made a point of getting there early so I could have a little something special beforehand – this amazing rocky road cheesecake! Nom nom nom. Good.

9 October – The family came along to support me at the Redlands Coast Business Excellence Awards, as my business was a finalist in two categories! It didn’t win, but pretty proud to be one of only 3 finalists in each category πŸ™‚ . Plus, an excuse to wear my gorgeous mother-of-the-bride dress again! Good.

    I loved this post, it was a hoot!

    I can totally relate as my darling children would have done the exact same thing, in particular using my first name in a condescending way. Bless them.
