Why didnt I just cheat ? 18.26

You know, as the 30 minutes have been rolling by I have asked myself over and over again, why didn’t I cheat ?

I mean, it’s a simple thing. You write a few entries in advance which you post once an hour, leaving you time to write the famous ‘Kiss of Life’ story you are so keen on writing at your ease (well, more ease than posting something new every 30 mins). How would anyone know?

The thing was, I knew. I collected the ideas. Did a little reading – not much if it wasn’t for the KoL.

And then, well, I just left it all for today and for fate. The idea was to have fun right, not be perfect. I have to remind myself of that all the time and its ok, because, no matter how stressful today has been so far, it has been fun.

Even Sean has found me funny – leaping up and down, zoning out, telling him I love people who leave me notes, watching me find the courage to do something I once may not have had the guts to do.

So cheating you see, might have got better results but it’s just not me. Wouldn’t have been honest. Wouldn’t have been ‘right’.

And there you have it.

Happy Sunday everyone!

I wondered about that; the writing in advance. The only reason I might have contemplated it was my fear that I would grow weary of the task and leave it unfinished. I’m a slave to my whims, you know 🙂

Surely (although this is for charity) one of the best things about this is ‘seeing what comes up’ when you are forced to write so often for such a lengthy period of time. I might have done it if I had more time on my hands… HOWEVER, I think I might not have.. lol… I think that its kind of tempting to end up pouring your heart and soul out here. I’d probably end up draining myself fartoo much. Not good. But you are doing well. Really well. Good idea to have the fiction to keep you going. AND one day, you’ll be able to say ‘I did the blogathon’ 🙂 Its a crazy idea, but its got to be an amazing challenge 🙂 (and better than running a marathon) lol

BTW…Sean sounds like he is a great supporter. I am trying to imagine how my husband would be and it greatly pales in comparison.

I think Chris would think I was mad if I said I was going to do something like this. Good on S for being so supportive through this. Now make him give you a shoulder rub. 🙂 Or a quickie 🙂 mwuaaahaaaahaaaaaa
