Everyone experiences doubt, especially writers. As my friend and critique partner, Laird Sapir, and I were discussing the misery of those evil thoughts, we decided that someone needed to invent a doubt removal process. I mean, if they can make a weed-killer, why not make a doubt-killer?
Doubts are just like weeds – they dig in deep and ruin a perfectly good landscape, or manuscript. They can’t be pulled or plucked one by one because they’ll only grow back. No, you gotta get the tough stuff, that big canister that you strap on to your back with a long hose to spray those suckers with poison. Yep, that’s right, we need doubt poison. So, being the creative minds that we are, Laird and I came up with a few ideas for doubt-killer products.
Just a few squirts and the doubts disappear!!
How about some sort of brain spray that could eradicate doubts? Its like a nasal spray. All those doubt clogging up your head? Just one squirt and those crappy thoughts are gone! Oh and it comes with an intelligence boosting version, too.
And what about some bubble gum with brain spray juice in the middle? Each chew gives another squirt to flush those doubts right out of your system. Available in all the fruity flavors!
Better yet, body wash and a brain exfoliant that sucks the stupidity straight from the pores. Now you too can clean off all those doubts and wash away stupidity with just one shower!
We had a great time coming up with these off the wall ideas. It gave us a quick break from working on our WIPs and let us use our creativity in a fun way. Laughter is a great way to reduce stress and alleviate some of those doubts.
Do you have a fun invention you’d like to see created? Or any silly ideas or promotional campaigns that just make you giggle?
Oh yes! What I wouldn’t give for a lotion that would suck the fat cells right off my body! Oooo, or a “preservative” for food that would preserve your youth and speed up your metabolism. So we’d all look 22 forever. 😀
OOohhh, Melinda – what a wonderful idea – lotion that sucks out fat cells! You could make a million off that! LOL!
I’m not so sure I’d want to look 22 for the rest of my life though. I look young for my age as it is, and at 22 – I looked about 15! Maybe we could go for a nice 27-29 range? LOL!
Thanks for stopping by!
Ooh, I definitely need some of that doubt erasing spray!! Sign me up!! 🙂
It would be awesome to have some of it right? I’ll tell Laird we need to make more! lol!
Thanks for stopping by, Susi!
Bath salts. Lie back, listen to music and let the soothing whatever crystals replace all those doubts with positive vibes.
Now that sounds just wonderful, Greta.
Makes me want to go hide in the tub for awhile right this minute!
What fun – I’ve never thought of inventing anything except wet ones when my kids were babies. (wish I had copyrighted that idea). I like the doubt removal spray – sign me up for that one.
Oh! I need bath salts that both suck out the fat AND chase the doubts away AND boost intelligence. Can we make those? Also, if they could contain caffeine, that would be helpful. 🙂
What about fear be gone chocolate–it can be sold as a companion to the doubt spray!
I love the idea! Could definitely use some of that lately. Like a 55 gallon drum-sized version that I strap to my back like a camel pack. Chocolate flavored doubt-be-gone is a good idea, too. I can get on board with that one, too.
Don’t forget Melinda’s idea…the additive that keeps you looking 22 the rest of your life. If you’re going to go, go big!
