February is the month of N.
Ninja is a
cool word that starts with N. That’s
Ninja Bob in the image in his imagination.
One click of a search engine surfaced the notion that some people like to call themselves ninjas for doing anything well. Did you know that there is such a thing as a Ninja Writer?

Thank you for this wonderful and fun post, Bob.
ReplyDeleteThis phrase especially spoke to me this morning: "...forgives themselves and starts again when they fail to act or makes excuses."
Yes, let's all be Ninja Writers.
Blessings.
Wendy, it's good that there are no perfect people among us, just Ninjas.

ReplyDeleteGlad you are smiling!

ReplyDeleteWriting success is staying with the process. Thank you, Pam.
DeleteLove your ideas, Ninja Bob! Several points struck a chord with me.
ReplyDeleteSandi, I hope getting "struck" did not leave a mark.
DeleteThanks Bob! I would say your post is an example of Ninja Writing in action. The line about writing "to the end" gave me the boost I needed right now.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle. To the end is sometimes a hard place to get to.
DeleteThanks for this post, Bob. Makes me want to pursue being more of a Ninja and less of a ‘Hong Kong Phooey,’ if you recall the animated series. Love the sentence “A Ninja Writer is a writer who acts now, does not make excuses and forgives themselves and starts again when they fail to act…” Thanks, Bob.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. You got me on that one about "Hong Kong Phooey." I hope you're doing well at starting again and again.
