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.
Is that Incoming I hear?

A-Z Challenge: P is for Potential

Thoughts lead to Your Ultimate Potential[/caption]
P is for Potential
How's yours? Potential, that is. everyone has a lot of potential. Surprising, isn't it? What do you do with yours? Do you try to encourage others? Does your potential remain inactive, lazy, unexplored, untested?
Perhaps you consider yourself a dismal failure. A poor writer. A failed scribbler dwelling in a barren attic. Perhaps you are resigned to be a follower, a bleating sheep wandering fruitlessly, half-heartedly producing free articles for greedy word mills instead of attempting to fend your own way amongst wolves, write original works of merit; be a unique writer, a brave shepherd. With inaction, you might be a poet laureate, but more likely, remain a sweeper of streets after parades of others more successful visit the queen.
Think about it. No matter what your status is, you can do better. The ultimate goal is to improve, and be better.

Think about it. No matter what your status is, you can do better. The ultimate goal is to improve, and be better.
Developing your own Potential
Developing your potential is like any other 'self-improvement' program. Improve your own potential quickly by:- Evaluating your existing strengths and weaknesses realistically. The old adage "Know thyself" comes to mind. What can you do best with what you already ARE?
- Use your strengths appropriately. Apply the talents you have been blessed with. Why hide wonderful talents when you could ride them to success?
- Explore working outside of your comfort zone. You may surprise yourself with your abilities.
- Appraising your weaknesses with an eye to self-improvement. If you recognize weaknesses and wish to pursue goals within that field, take appropriate steps to strengthen, fill gaps, --learn what you need to be successful, -and with confidence, strengthen your personal resolve to achieve your goals.
- Persist quietly with inner peace and patience. Keep "Patience is a virtue" in the back of your mind at all times. Great accomplishments take time.
- Never quit because of early failures.. Great accomplishments may take many attempts to achieve the desired goals and excellence. Practice makes perfect. No kidding.
Encouraging the Potential of Others
From a position of success, skill and easy street, the struggles of those surrounding you are easily overlooked. It never hurts to be kind. You can make a huge difference and play a key role in the future success of others. Never underestimate the power of- Helping others identify and appreciate their own strengths, skills, and possibilities. Some individuals with low self-esteem fail to recognize good inherent skill sets they already possess.
- Offer sincere congratulations, assistance, and above all, be happy for others when they do achieve a goal. Genuine happiness encourages a positive attitude in all concerned.
- Encourage the exploration and expansion into field of endeavor they may not have considered. For writers, as an example, encourage the exploration of other genres. Encourage self-publishing. Critique freely without vindictiveness.
- Let your agenda be for the concern of others; discover their potential, and in doing so, learn, develop, and discover your own.
