A Day in the Life of a Toastmaster Student
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..."
Here I sit at the back corner of the public library... my stomach full from excessive amounts of water, almonds and Luna bars.I have bulimia of the fingertips... I've spent hours agonizing over something of importance that I can write about. A single page Word document has 6 starts to 6 different speeches. Frequently I break into Explorer to Google something…anything. To eventually find myself one click away from purchasing the latest anti-wrinkle miracle …thank God I snap out of it and get back to the vomit on my page. I continue to write. Somehow it just happens -- It takes shape, it makes sense and the pieces of the puzzle start to fit; first the four corners, then the boarders, then small parts of the picture inside...until they all connect. Beast to beauty. It doesn’t stop there … I read and reread, cut, paste, cut, paste...it's all there, just needs a better arrangement. It will come, it always does.
Try it!Writing……….it’s a beautiful thing!
