Eclectic Narratives - Delay by Delay

>>>~~~~<<<

            An unfortunate case, an uncomfortable reality.

            A lack of result, a lack of completion.

            The last thing you want to do, the only thing you can do.

            The devastating crossroad, the horrid choice.

            You must delay, you must set it back.

            Not the choice, not the action.

            But your goal, your destination.

            You are not ready, you are not prepared.

            Time makes fools of us all, especially now.

            Your only choice is to swallow your pride and accept the loss.

            It is time to delay your project.

            Whether by a day, a week, a month, or more.

            It will not be ready, it will not be done, not in time.

            But what choice is there?

            To rush would make no one happy.

            To delay might make someone happy.

            It is better to gamble on the chance of success than to take certain failure.

            It is not a license to slack off or put off your responsibilities.

            It is a deliberate choice, a commitment.

            A desire to take your time and do things right.

            To delay is not desirable.

            But delaying might make it worthwhile in the end.

>>>~~~~<<<

Take your time, you have precious little of it.

Author's Note: Delay aka The story I had planned for this week wasn’t done in time, so I made this to buy another two weeks. I wrote it at a steady pace and kept up a good rhythm, too. But I wanted to take my time editing, really make sure I was happy with it instead of rushing it out the door, and I quickly realized I didn’t have that kind of time if I tried to release it today, so here we are. I promise the next story posted will be the one I’m talking about. Then I’ll get to work on the next Maid in Fantasy chapter (still no ETA for that).

Until next time, Read, Comment and Enjoy.
