Hello Dear Readers! Holy Cow do we have a treat in store for us today! The Overly Creative Writer Lady has agreed to edit some guidelines for us!
The Overly Creative Writer Lady
The Overly Creative Writer Lady would like us to take out our Drip Irrigation Guidelines and turn to the first page!
Page 1 of our Drip Irrigation System Guidelines
The Original Copy Says:
“These drip emitters for shrub and trees provide full or partial pressure compensation.”
Dear Readers, this pathetic writing example is enough to make the Overly Creative Writer Lady laugh — if only she knew how!
Let’s watch as the Overly Creative Writer Lady works her magic on this pedestrian piece of writing while at the same time keeping the meaning intact:
These blue-as-the-sky-on-a-cloudless-January-afternoon drip emitters for shrub and trees — trees like those on yonder hill (that, from this distance, sometimes appear blue in the beauty of the evening light unless one is colorblind in which case they would probably just appear darkish gray in the beauty of the evening light) provide full –as full even as the botoxed lips of an aging ingenue or perhaps as full as a bath that one has started to draw and then received a call from Ed McMahon with news that one had just won the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes if indeed Ed MacMahon were still alive and if indeed one had just won the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes which was the reason for the call in the first place or partial pressure compensation.
Holy Cow Overly Creative Writer Lady! We are not worthy! This is astonishing! Apparently this task was way too easy for the Overly Creative Writer Lady.
Perhaps we should have her show us how she would change the next sentence in our Drip Irrigation Guidelines which is:
Emitters with flow rates of 1/4th gps are available for containers or slopes where water may run off.
Dear Readers! I can hear the Overly Creative Writer Lady sharpening her pencil as I type this. Oh we are in for a real treat! OMG! She’s writing it out in longhand! What an opportunity to peek inside the mind of the Overly Creative Writer Lady!
Well as you can see, Dear Readers, not only has Overly Creative Writer Lady managed to breath new life into the topic of Emitters Flow Rates, but she has also manged to somehow weave a tale the likes of which rival Shakespeare, himself! (And I don’t know about you but I thought the pig in a penguin suit parable was absolutely inspired!)
How DOES she do it?
We only hope the Overly Creative Writer Lady will come back and visit us real soon!
Uh . . . I think that says until next time she bids us all adieu . . . .
Until next time . . . I love you
I’m so glad you included a portrait of the Overly creative writer lady. She is wearing exactly what I would expect an overly creative person to wear. Now all we need is the overly Boisterous Busom buddy and the overly chatty Kathy.
Hahahahaha! I’m going to add her in. From now on she will always be accompanied by her Boisterous Busom Buddy overly chattie Cathy! Yes that’s exactly what this character needs! Thank you so much for that idea honey!
haha! Another funny post. I think the Overly Creative Writer Lady might be able to get a job at Pottery Barn writing on the display chalk boards and dry erase boards. Just an idea?
Oh Lisa you are so right! I love the way you make these connections! The Overly Creative Writer Lady has Pottery Barn white board written all over her!
Love the drawing of the The Overly Creative Writer Lady! She looks like my headmistress in high school
Wonderful
Thanks Dianne. You had a headmistress like the Overly Creative Writer Lady? Lucky! I bet she made school a lot more interesting if only to see what she was going to wear!
Hahaha – she always wore exactly the same dress every day. I’m sure she had an entire wardrobe of them
Overly Creative Writer Lady – what an inspiration! I will never settle for bland language again in any kind of manual or anything else for that matter… Great Picture too
I am feeling a little intimitdated by her though as I am not so sure my creativity measures up.. yours however my cyber mom is beyond extraordinary! 
Ah thank you Lizzie! Your comment has made me fell warm and fuzzy!! Never settle for bland language . . . Oh I like that!
And Lizzie your creativity is off the charts!!! You always amaze me with your talent! Aren’t we so lucky to be able to finally have an outlet for all our thoughts? I don’t know what I did before I had my blog with all those unruly characters running around with no place to go! Ha! 
I know right? ANd they were still there too huh? Rising a ruckus and wanting attention.. This is the stuff that somewhere early on we were taught to keep to ourselves – see how much easier its gotten just over the last year? I feel like we are thumbing our noses at whoever said not to do it… Ha!
Sometimes I regret the fact that you’re a writing genius, because you could so easily be a Brilliant Cartoonist Lady!! I love OCWL!!– she is inspired, elegant, and she makes Al Gorezilla look like the sack of old pipes and wood shop sweepings he is!! : )
Mark! You’re comments are so inspiring and hilarious at the same time and I have a confession to make, I think I am getting addicted to them. Oh what a wonderful rush of joy I get whenever I read one. I just savor them more than Al Gorezilla savors his Funyuns. Thank you so much Mark. You always brighten my day!
