She hops lovers the way Hawaiian tourists hop islands. And in her wake, fractured shells wash upon the shore, left for others to pick up. For fear of turning to salt, she never looks back. Far too taken by her next move to consider all she leaves behind.

Hmmm, incredible blog. well said.
so ambiguous
WOW. I agree with Anonymous Persons Uno and Dos. Both ambiguous and well said. I really like the idea of the sea shells washing up for others to cherish rather than be discarded. Cheers!
sometimes you realize that you have passed all the best shells, but you can not go back because the tide has come in and all you have left are broken sand dollars
or maybe sometimes you realize that you have not only passed but carelessly crushed all the best shells. moving onto new shells on new islands seems easier, doesn't it? hypothetically, i wish the best to every hypothetical person involved in this hypothetical blog entry.
my blog readers are, hypothetically, clever. kudos.
or sometimes you find that the shell you found has a crab and no one wants that
I can't do anything but laugh! Seriously though, Anonymous persons (hang on let me count...)Three, Four, and Five have great analogies of your fiction blog, Author. (Just a thought: what if one of these articulate Anonymous admirers is really Oprah? Your writing career is about to be catapulted if so!) G'day!
or maybe you found out the girl has crabs and the shells don't even want to be around her.
Or maybe sometimes you find that people make excuses instead of taking responsibility. Mostly, because they're used to it. Fantastic blog mmcfarland, i bet you never thought it would be a catalyst for debate amongst a string of anonymous individuals. Well done!
my cover is blown. I've been stealing all of my best material from this blog damn it!
no, i was completely unaware anonymous individual #6. i admire your wit. and your perspective on making excuses vs. taking responsibility.
Dear Six, ...may I call you Six? Thank you for your introduction into this Semi-Anonymous world of Round-about communication! Oprah, you sneaky devil! Where's Gail? Does she know you're stalking mmcfarland too? Tricky Tricky! Don't get caught with your hand in the blogspot!
shit.
yes, Six will do. I like that, ctid. SEMI-anonymous... whatever do you mean?
