Murphy's Law
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.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed the short post.
Thanks to SteemVerify.com and @elyaque
Thanks to @papa-pepper for the last gif.
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.
