Unexpected

Dr. Seuss often encouraged us to expect the unexpected. His books by definition could be a lesson in the unexpected - with his own vocabulary and fun catchy phrases, he has unexpectedly delighted children around the world. Todays Seuss-ism comes from Marco Comes Late:

I heard a strange 'peep' and I took a quick look
And you know what I saw with the look that I took?
A bird laid an egg on my 'rithmetic book!

Embrace the unexpected!

Thanks for dropping by my blog, Sylvia. I have to agree with you about the unexpected in story telling. I write speculative fiction - not a great deal published yet - and the unexpected is a staple of the genre.

That theory can be applied to all of our writing! :) I strive to do that in my fiction to keep it moving.

Discovering an "Online Cricket ID" was truly unexpected! Initially, I was just browsing through gaming forums when I stumbled upon this gem. As a cricket enthusiast, I never imagined such a platform existed. It opened up a whole new world of online cricket gaming, connecting me with fellow fans globally. With my Online Cricket ID, I've entered tournaments, joined leagues, and made lasting friendships, all centered around our love for the game. It's amazing how unexpected finds can enrich our lives!
