“All achievements,
all earned riches, have their beginning in an idea.”
9th day into the challenge, I am beginning to
lose the fizz. Yup, I was bubbling with enthusiasm when I started, now all I
can do is wonder – “What was I thinking?”
My mind goes blank reading the posts of others, and I try
to think and come up with an idea.
The other day, I asked my daughter – “What’s the word that
immediately comes to your mind when I say the alphabet ‘c’? – CAT! Came the
reply. “Mom, why are you stressing yourself? Just go by A for Apple, B for Ball
.....” Sigh! If only she knew that life was so easy.
So, what do I do? It’s my secret and I have a copyright of
my brain...Don’t steal my idea!!! I open up a dictionary and go through the
words and their meanings and see if I can come up with anything. Yes, anything!
Do I need to say this seldom works! Mmmmm...sometimes they do.
So, I sit in front of my PC and read the other posts by my
friends...I close my eyes and think. Slowly and stealthily an idea beings to
form and voila!
For - A-to-Z Challenge
Clever one, Janaki. Good luck - keep going!
ReplyDeleteThank you Corinne.

DeleteI wouldn't be able to enter a challenge like that, so I think you are doing perfect
ReplyDeleteThanks Nikky.
DeleteYou and everyone participating in this are a lot braver than I am! I would be feeling the stress at this point for sure. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI will Martha...it just a passing phase. Thanks dear.
Deletenow the question is did this idea change your life :P
ReplyDeleteOf course Deep, it did.
DeleteDear Janu,
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing to myself...it seems I have the opposite problem...since you inspired me to take part in these challenges, I just can't stop writing! I use good old pen and paper to write my poems, which my Assistant then has to try to decipher and transfer onto the computer. I can't type and write...never have, never will. As a result, her "to do" pile just keeps getting bigger and bigger. She's already had a major meltdown trying to keep up with me! We're in this together, you'll be ok. ♥
Dear Andy,
DeleteI am as fortunate as you to have a secretary....so, I too write down in my journal(same pinch), type and then post it...double the work.But, I enjoy doing it.
Thanks.
I really enjoyed that. Funny how ideas sometimes are void of our mind, and other times we are flooded so fast we can't keep up with them. Great post!!
