Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts
Kathleen-613's creation for my blog

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN


Blog City image small

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

David Whyte


Marci's gift sig










This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

Prompt: "Projects that sound strange or impossible at first often end up being the most rewarding if given a chance." Amy Flurry Do you agree with this statement?

----

Yes. That statement is so true.

That is one reason why I try to write for any one prompt, even if I don’t comprehend it perfectly at the start and even if my real life buts in and keeps me busy not letting me do or write as much as I’d like to.

Sometimes, I even answer a prompt inside my head, although I know I won’t have the time to write it down. Not just the prompts in Blog City, but anywhere I run into one. Not that what I write is rewarding but the thinking about it is. At least, I'll have that.

Then, when something I have to do in real life that I wouldn’t volunteer initially pops up and I tackle it, it sometimes ends up as something I like or something I enjoyed doing.

Still one has to draw the line at some place concerning what is strange and impossible. I saw this on the Business Insider. This is one job I would stay away from, no matter how rewarding, although I am grateful for the brave souls who take it upon themselves to do it. Here it is:

“Snake milkers extract venom from some of the world's most dangerous snakes, like rattlesnakes and cobras. The extracted venom is often used to create antivenom for hospital or laboratory use, and can be sold for up to $1,000 per gram.”

Strange and impossible and so rewarding? Yes! Just not for me.
