Stick a fork in me
Now Playing: Luther Vandross - Make me A Believer
Topic: WC - Blogathon
Well this is my last entry for my Fake Blogathon. I lasted twelve hours. Far longer than I'd planned or expected.

It was fun, I'm sure it would be more fun if I did the real thing and raised a few dollars for my favorite charity.

But I did learn a few things. You certainly can't slow yourself down about worrying about what to write about. You think of a topic and go with it. Some of my topics were better than others but that's to be expected. This wasn't to be award winning writing or anything.

I wish I worked more on the piece I started but alas, I feel like I'd would have had to do more writing on it while I was waiting for the timer said it was 30 minutes again.

The other good thing is that my mind was in writing and then I was off doing other stuff and then in 30 minutes my mind had to be back into writing. That's something to take away. To Bracket my focus. Sit down and focus on what I'm doing here and then when I'm there focus on that... Ha Ha! Otherwise known as being in the now!

It's been a slice. I think I'll do it for real next year. Add that to my calendar...
Blogged out!

P.S. notice all those grammatical errors? That's what 12 hours will get you! i'm not even going back to correct them.

Though I'm suffering from brain-lag I have noticed that having this kind of impetus - the drive to blog for a purpose - has kept me writing more than I've written in ages. I've been suffering from writers block for weeks now (mercury retrograde) but this blogathon has really loosened up that blockage.

Thanks for popping in on me! I appreciate the encouragement!
