Isn’t it like the idea of inspiration prevents you from accomplishing anything?
Take writing,for example.
So many times everything stayed in the idea stage.
Those ideas were all lost like a balloon bursting with disappointment, then disappearing.
So many balloons burst I decided to try and make some float into the restless sea of wordpress.
When I started to write them down, it was hard not to wonder if I was insane.
Lets have a look at some ideas, I wrote down :
- A world with a 30 day return on kids.
- You know what they say – a watched clock never boils
- Overbuying of cardigans.
- Standing on the toes of giants.
- Like when I lost an argument to my mirror – next day it seemed really smug.
- Nag-trocities – I like this one. A neologism which labels extremely ferocious nagging. Perhaps referring to Matilda the Hun.
This is what blogging seems to be for me.
I take one of those sentences above,sometimes combine them.
Do about 300 words, then press post.
My business brain works the same way. I am equally successful in both arenas.
Nag-trocities- one of the best words ever!
Those topics sound good- I especially like the mirror one and am intrigued by the cardigans one. Hope you follow up with some blogs on them.

Standing on the toes of giants would seem to be more sensible, A bit of a rise, but nothing dangerous. The last thing in the world that I need is a smug mirror. The snarky one I have is bad enough,

I imagine your mirror saying ‘seriously? That again?’

I don’t know about your other readers, but I think the 30 day return policy on kids needs further attention.
Is it a no questions asked return? Or are there specific parameters…. screams all night and bites his mother? Acceptable reason. Looks like the milkman? Unacceptable. And what happens to the returnees? Are they delivered to other parents or heavily discounted and sent overseas?

I agree. The biggest question I have on this is whether the 30 days starts at birth, or if the window can start anytime. I think most people are ok with babies – it’s the teenagers we want to return

Another perfectly reasonable question.

Why is it that most men think that nagtrocities are only committed by women? They are often incapable of realising men do it too.

A generalisation to defeat a stereotype… I liked the word so this was a lazy way of doing it. I personally don’t think that. Although men are more likely to be guilty of thumptrocities

Love that quote by Tibolt. I also like the watched clock never boils. Since I can’t tell time (apparently – I’m always late) and I don’t cook, I might have to steal that one.
