We're All Just Big Old Hens!


I'm like a big old hen. I can't cluck too long about the egg I've just laid because I've got five more inside me pushing to get out.

Ha! It's been a while since I've laid a new egg, er, started a new story. Maybe I should. Thanks for the fun quote!

Jessica Bell said...

LOL That made me cluckle :)

Candyland said...

Haha! Nice!

Roxy said...

Wonderful quote! I needed a reminder about moving on to something new. :)

CMOM Productions said...

What a great quote!

Roxane B. Salonen said...

I'm just getting ready to push child #5 out into the world of school. Wonder what other gems will be contained within once he's securely on his way?

Conda Douglas said...

Oh my, great quote--so true!

Laurel Garver said...

Am I the only one who finds that image just a little disturbing? LOL. But I get what he means about fuss less, create more.

Aubrie said...

I guess each WIP is one really big egg!

Unknown said...

*laughs hysterically* Shannon this cheered me up! How awesome, thank you for sharing!

Stephanie said...

LOL! That's great!! And I am so there!! I have about 20 story ideas just waiting for me and sometimes it's so frustrating to not have the time to write write write and get to them all!

Jennie Englund said...

Eggs are great, all-around.

They're metaphors for everything, and they're delicious fried over-medium with buttery sourdough.

Matthew MacNish said...

Jealous!

Hannah said...

I lay more than I know what to do with.

Tracy Loewer said...

Well, now I can take it as a compliment when someone calls me a chicken! Er, not that it happens on a regular basis or anything. :)

Unknown said...

OK, now I'm craving bacon. Is that normal?

I'm sure there was some obvious crack-some-eggs-to-make-an-omlette joke I could have made, but I decided to go with the bacon. I don't regret it.

KA said...

Wasn't it Charlotte's Web where the goose laid an egg that turned out to be a dud?

Kelly H-Y said...

Too funny ... thanks for the laugh!

Shannon Messenger said...

Only you could call all your followers Big Old Hens and have it be funny and inspiring. Well done #2. :)

Jackee said...

I've always loved this quote--so true! And I hope if I'm ever published, I'll remember it still. With every single book.

Thanks, Shannon!
