Fleeting Thoughts [100WW]

Fleeting thoughts often land in oblivion. Who knows how the mind conceives, sublimates, conjures, remembers – and why? Now I write with random genesis, adding be-verb refusal to the effort. Which brings happy memory of a 6th grade English teacher who rang a bell with me. I still recite the be-verb list she taught and refusing them in this writing helps me avoid passive voice, among other benefits, something taught by others. It engenders use of active verbs like land, rang, and recite. And I see – duh! – how be-verbs, though unavoidable, tend to passive voice. Good to know.
