Three Paragraphs

Mr. Motivator strikes again. This assignment was to take five (he picked his favorites) of the 10 ideas from the previous assignment and write three paragraphs on each. I was to cover the basic plot of each story. I spent the first day twiddling my thumbs trying to decide which stories to write about. Mr. Motivator jumped in and suggested the five he found most interesting so far. I squandered my next day in front of the tv but finally sat down with my laptop late last night and cranked out more than three paragraphs on two story ideas. Spent six and a half hours with my mother today at her Oncologist's office and finished the assignment. I'm feeling pretty excited about this as technically it wasn't due until Thursday. So I wonder what will be next.

10 Ideas in 2 1/2 days

I was recently challenge by a friend, I'll call him Mr. Motivator to protect his anonymity, to come up with ten story ideas in 12 hours. Steep order considering the busy day I had. Sadly, I fell short and only came up with four ideas. Not willing to give up and under the threat of punishment from Mr. Motivator, I forged ahead and kept jotting down my ideas. The next day being Thanksgiving proved too busy to make much progress but the end of Black Friday, I'd met my goal. I don't expect to get a full story out of each of these acorns but even if only one blossoms into a full story, I will be extremely happy.
