Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

The Serene Blog Post

30 DBC - 14th September - Prompt: The Sunday Resonance: Review your peers. Tell us your favorite blog entry from your fellow challengers from the preceding week and, importantly, why. Share also with us which of your own blog posts you think stands out.

Today, I've decided to get on an just write the blog. As we have seen this week, if I think about the prompts for too long, I just get carried away. Some of my blogs have been slightly OTT/random so far in this round of 30DBC. It is very obvious that I have too much time on my little hands. As it happens, I have quite big hands - I always think I have man hands!

So, no picket lines, no poems about murder using emoticons and teddies, no coming up with mini guessing contests to keep my readers wondering... Nope... this is a serene blog post.

Hmmm I think I have two favourite blog posts from others this week...
1) "The best way to start your day..."  by Elle - on hiatus . Just because it made me laugh. I know she was at a bit of a loss with some of the prompts, but she fought well!
2) "Invalid Entry"  by Mitchopolis . This just really really made me laugh, that's all

Both these bloggers have made me consider changing my content rating. Hmm... I wanna swear!!

Now, my blogs... god knows where to start with this. What I will say is this: when I look at the prompts in the mornings, my immediate responses are normal, calm, and somewhat intelligent. Then time happens! I come back to write my normal entry, then BOOM! Anyway, they've amused me.
Again, I think I have two favourites:
1) "Follow the Yellow Brick Road!"  - How this has come out of that prompt, I'm not sure!
2) "My Very Own Picket Line"  - Again, the picket line wasn't planned, it just happened!


Okay, serene post done. I'll leave you with today's yellow brick. Although, I'm annoyed because I've just realised I've messed up my clues! Yesterday's wasn't due for a few days!

I'm hoping that by the end of this challenge (30th September) I will be allowed to share. So, for the next twenty days, I will give you a yellow brick at the end of each (or most) of my blog entries. With each brick will be a clue pointing towards what my top secret secret is! You can all have one guess each day. The first person to guess correctly will win a Mystery MB from me. I will NOT tell you if you're right or wrong until I know I am allowed to announce. If I am allowed to announce before the end of the 30DBC, the clues will become more obvious.
So, to sum up, use my daily clues to guess my secret. Be the first and you'll win a Mystery MB.
