Murphy's LawsteemCreated with Sketch.

Writing Challenge

Those days, you know the ones where Murphy's law has the upper hand. I sat down many times, came up with a few ideas that were scratched being they would not be worth my time. Around every corner I found a new distraction. With every page flipped, utter despair.

Anything that can possibly go wrong, does.

A day where every chance I got to sit down and write more problems arose, the bath tub started to leak. The dishes had piled up and it was my turn to wash them. When I got through, it was time to go shopping for the upcoming week. I decided it was time to simply re-think the problems.

The day is almost at its close, and there is a little bit of hope I would ever get through this challenge. Being my attention span is short, and my concentration is easily captured I have had a hard time in keeping up on my end of the challenge which is why I decided to try it out.

First couple of days was easy, I had found the time, and found interesting ideas to go with. Today was the day I wish Peter's Laws are far better. Thanks to @clains

If anything can go wrong, fix it! (To hell with Murphy!)

I was able to do just that. I took the time and put my scattered thoughts down, worked them out, and decided it was easier to walk down SteemIt Lane today than to write.

You got it done! You did it!

Thank you. Just glad I got a post. The challenge makes it hard to just give up since others are also watching.

Just be yourself like you did today - I think people like authenticity....and that's what you showed :)

Thank you I'm still working on finding my voice so to speak. I hated writing in school and up till recent I avoided writing. It is very hard for me to stay focused even a basic post takes lots of time. My biggest problem is distractions everything distracts me.

Here's a secret - I'm not a writer either. This is my first time since I've been on Steemit. Writing takes time - it doesn't just flow like you might think. Everyone gets distracted.
Try practicing your writing skills replying to other posts - summarizing what they say....do that a couple of times a day and you'll see an improvement.

I feel that once I did really start replying to posts I read things got a bit easier. Thank you also for the idea of sumerizing I have not tried that to much. That is something I will need to try doing more of.

@countygirl are you an otaku ?

Think you got the wrong reply button.

sorry . i was just curious with her profile pic.

I'm not sure what you mean. I looked up the word otaku and it says this -

Is that what you meant?

No, no that . i mean the otaku that loves anime meaning, in other words otaku means anime lover.
i was wondering if your an anime fan because of your profile pic.

See???....I'm so out of touch....lol. No, I didn't really even know what anime was until I looked it up!!! I have had this little clip art of a profile pic for a long time - I used it on another forum. So funny. Thanks for informing me :)

it is really hard to find ideas. Me i just take a walk or watch anime :)

I started a draft email to myself to keep my ideas in. I think of random things all day and not all the ideas make my list. But that gives me a few ideas to work with during the day.

Did you try posting for the writing challenge?

Taking a walk even helps. I have not yet seen the tag issue fixed try using 4 not 5 you might get better results.

Drinking coffee helps to :)

Nope not yet im still trying to look for ideas about that xD. im even struggling just to create an article today, i am such a failure LOL -_-

tag issue ? i dont get it.

Nice post buddy, upvoted you and following. Interesting blog you have going here...

Thank you. Followed you as well.
