So, have you seen? There is yet ANOTHER blog challenge going on. I actually love these things they get me motivated to blog. This one is a Post A Quote Challenge.

I’m sure a lot of you have been seeing the Post A Quote Challenge. Thankfully, people like me enough to nominate me for things like this. I want to thank Jonas Lee for nominating me! 

Here are the rules in said challenge:

* Post one quotation a day for three days (they can be from other sources or one of your own).

* Nominate 3 other bloggers to participate per post.

* Thank the blogger who nominated you.

So, now for my first-day selection. I decided to post an inspirational quote from http://www.dailyinspirationalquotes.in – I love this page. I am a firm believer that you have to love what you do and no one said it better than Steve Jobs.

In my opinion, this quote is so much more than just work. It also addresses how we approach life. In order to succeed at anything, you have to have a passion for it. As an employee, I love to learn and so I’m constantly learning new things at work. As a mom, my children are my passion, and I strive every day to be the best mom I can be – to do epic for them. As an author, loving to write and read gives me the drive to publish only what I truly believe is my best work.

Now, my first batch of nominees (feel free to participate or not, but if you do – HAVE FUN WITH IT):

Allergic to E Challenge

There is this new “Allergic to E Challenge” going around online. It’s a fun little game for authors, bloggers, and anyone else who fancies themselves fond of writing. How did I learn of the challenge? Well, Jonas Lee, a fellow author on GoodReads decided to tag me in his post and in so doing has challenged me.

I accept your challenge!

The Allergic to E challenge challenges a writer to construct a paragraph (4 to 6 sentences) without using the letter “E”. Sounds easy, right? NO, NO IT IS NOT! However, I did give it my best try, which you can read below.

The Rules:

  1. Write an entire paragraph without any word containing the letter “e”
  2. If you are reading this you are already signed up
  3. Make sure to link back to the challenges creator Redefining Random.
  4. Challenge at least five bloggers to do the challenge. They must do it within 24 hours or it is considered a failure.
  5. If you fail or pass, suffer in the Page of Lame.
  6. If you win, wallow in the Page of Fame.

Now, the fun part, I get to pass the torture onward.

Hit List:

Marie Lavender

Ashlee North

Kim Zoot Holmes

Garry Abbott

My “Allergic to E Challenge” Attempt:

My brain contains a world, of its own fashioning, cast from imagination, inspiration, and originality. It is a crazy Nirvana, full of fairyland animations that occupy all of my waking thoughts. With a vivacious passion for artistic satisfaction I am thrust into a fanatical, almost manic compulsion to purify my mind. With gusto my hand scripts with ink to lay out my thoughts. My spirits soar as my visions bud, soon to blossom. Individuals, both mortal and immortal, form to spark my mood and impact my writing. It’s as if I’m watching a play unfurl. A plot builds and conflict grows, but what is born of this pursuit is distinct and rich. A manuscript, rough and awkward but of my own making. Following a bit of tidying up, and a book is born. A book, which brings joy to my soul that can only match that of admiration. This world is not for all, but within it, I find my gifts.

If anyone else feels like giving the challenge a go (or my nominees don’t feel like doing a full blog post), feel free to try posting your comments below, but make sure you don’t use the letter E! Good luck!
