A-Z Challenge: R is for Rest and Relaxation

R & R with Gardening[/caption]
R is for Rest and Relaxation, and you guessed it, that would be R&R for the uninitiated, a rest and change for the experienced, a blessing for the overworked and tired. Do you plan specifically to take time off, drop the tools whether they be saw and hammer, pick and shovel, or pen and ink?
We need R&R on a regular basis. All of us. Even the muse. Change the venue, shut down the mind and the computer. Take time off to do something refreshing, exciting, different? Use a semicolon instead of a comma. Try it. Dare the muse to amuse. Challenge the status quo. Get some rest and relaxation.
That's what I'm attempting today. Enjoying some R&R. No work, no worries, no trying to convince editors they are perfect at times . No deadlines. No thinking about Boston, bombing, death and mayhem, and the inadequate --emotionally flawed angry, disenfranchised, desperate foreigners who see no option to power and greed other than brutal violence. No worries about lack of national resourcefulness, official responses, --so murderous, canned, inadequate, and arrogant. So predictable. Some of these people could use some serious rest and relaxation and then brain training. Perhaps try being human instead of being so mindlessly 'American' all the time. Try it, you might like it too.
As for me, no worries. I'm Canadian. I know where Canada is. I know the difference between Chechnya and Czech. I spell 'neighbour' and 'colour' with a 'u" and I'm proud of it. That's all.
We've earned some R & R. Everyone has. That's why R is for Rest and Relaxation
Is that Incoming I hear?

A-Z Challenge: Q is for Quizzical

The quizzical mind questions everything[/caption]
Quizzical R US
Q is for Quizzical. The very nature of the successful writer is to be entertaining, quizzical and inquisitive; for, pray tell, if we were not, what would that do to our written word? Striving for a unique voice in creative writing is a good thing. How do you make your writing stand out? Be quizzical.
Can you create a comment in the mind of the reader so unique it will remain not only in the mind, but instigate perpetual motion, generating, welding and activating new synapses in the brain endlessly to resolve issues, solve a problem, equate and correlate facts, or adjust to an unbelievable wonder you just invented in their mind?
When was the last time you created an endless question, even a weird, unexpected question--in your writing? When last did you write something that identified your mind as a destination, a veritable island, an oddity in a world of apathetic, mindless, shopping corporate-trained but brain-dead consumer sheeple on vacation? Do you boldly tease and challenge your readers? Do you ask them to think, draw their own unique conclusions that may be in turn challenged to expand the mind? Do it. Exert some influence, drop a few unique ideas. Plant seeds.
The concept of perpetual motion of the mind and endless expansion of the synapses of the human brain is born in questions; Albert Einstein once suggested 'question everything'. I would have liked to talk to Albert. I'd sure ask questions. Questions. Reality check, Albert's not here, so I just ask myself. Get to be genius. That means you might have to talk to yourself too, and people might look at you sideways and point at you too, if you're just a bit weird and eccentric. If you should observe someone watching, ask them the question instead. Do them a favour in the process. Start a think-a-thon. That's not a bad start to being eccentric, unique and thought-provoking. Quizzical. Maybe even bizarre. Let's write that down and stick with quizzical for now. Maybe.
That's why Q is for Quizzical.
