Un-Journaling 27

Instructions:  You are a writer with a secret arrangement with the automobile industry.  You will be paid $10.00 for every word you publish that included the word car.  Examples, scar, cart, carp, carton.  The hope is the repetition of the letter c-a-r will encourage people, subliminally to want to buy cars.  You are starting a short story for a magazine.  Write your first paragraph.  How much money can you make using c-a-r in just that paragraph?

An old friend once told me, "Carpe Diem."  It means seize the day.  It means that wether you are shopping in a store and are pushing a cart, doesn't mean that you can't seize the day.  If you are buying a carton of eggs or looking at a carnivorous animal or eating carbohydrates, you must still seize the day.  If you write caring words to someone in a card or you just like to be careful, seize the day.
