Pink Think: “Individuals, too, who cultivate a variety of skills seem brighter, more energetic and more adaptable than those who know how to do one thing only.” – Robert Shea

What could I be instead?
That’s the question that came to mind yesterday. I realized the novel I am rewriting now is two years old from its conception. And somehow I felt like life was ticking by and all I have been the past two decades has been “writer”.
What if I did something else? What would it be?
I am not giving up or hanging up my hat, mind you. I just liked to toy with the idea of waking up and not have the thrust of my efforts be towards writing. It’s possible, I s’pose.

I could be
a rodeo clown
a paper doll artist
a professional gum blower
a smile specialist
a beauty pageant organizer

The thought is as pink as cucumber.
As natural as melted rootbeer.
As fun as carbon footprints.
As sweet as sour candy.
