Hail to the Dinosaurs!
Readers occasionally send me speedwriting
challenges such as "Answer 10 training
questions in 10 words or less per question!"
(which I actually managed to do).
Here's one that came in over the weekend:
"I CHALLENGE you to describe each of your
books, courses and DVD's in a GRAND TOTAL
of 100 words or less."
Now, mind you -- this came from a longtime
reader -- someone I would consider a friend --
and the LAST person on earth I would ever
expect to issue this kind of "impossible"
challenge.
By the way, he added, "If you can do it, I'll
order one of everything and give them away as
Christmas presents. If you can't, I win a
Dinosaur Training hoodie."
I showed the email to Trudi.
"I'll pack up the hoodie," she said.
Ouch. It hurts when you get an impossible
challenge and your better half doesn't think
you can do it.
