I don’t know if it’s the best, but I agree it’s pretty good.

When I wrote this, I was writing extensively, every day. These days I’m writing almost exclusively technical material, or banging on code.

I’ll be back to writing soon.

Hi Dave, looks like you’re hitting your stride too, I’m thinking this must be the best post you ever wrote? But you’ve only just got started with this story-telling technique so I guess the best is yet to come:) I like the homework too. I’ll do it.

I absolutely adore the way you send us back to all these little extras because this is an excellent post that I’d never have found if left to my own devises.

Reading this reminds me of what we talked about a story idea for GAB and has given me an excellent GAB task I can work on whilst away without web access later in the month.

Thank you :)

It’s too late for glory, but here it is anyway…

My subconscious mind let me down. We’re going to have to have a talk, because this just isn’t working out.

It’s inventory week at my job. I woke up earlier than Santa Claus on Christmas day, raced to work so as not to be the last one in (and therefore the purveyor of donuts the following day), injected coffee into my bloodstream (can I just get an IV of the stuff?) and headed to the floor…

You want a story? I’ll tell you a story.

I was on swim team in high school when I asked my sister how to win the race. She said pretend there is a shark swimming behind you. Then she told me to pretend I was swimming toward a chocolate cake.

Talk about motivation. What really got me swimming however was hearing her voice as she followed me up and down the lanes screaming “Go Julie!”

I’ve since kept her words in my head to this day and use positive motivation to get the fire under my student’s buns. It works. Also if you can get your reader to smile you have it made.

My sister made me smile when she recently commented on my story and told me I now need to swim AWAY from the chocolate cake.

You can read the entire story here in my blog:
swim away from the cake….
