Practice Schmactice!

Blogging 101 – Post Grad Day One

Daily Challenge – Practice Makes Perfect.

They say that practice makes perfect.
No. It doesn’t.
Well, not necessarily. They don’t say how much practice you need to put in. Or what kind of quality that practice needs to be. Or even what mastery is, or how to tell if you have it.
So, so far, the talent I wish I could practise to perfection is mastery of building a website with all of its component parts. And controlling it!
In following the advice in other spheres, for instance, walking 10,000 steps a day will make you fit – okay, I manage 3,500 on a good day, not counting those in the house, and so far, this has failed to give me 6-pack abs. Huh. Neither has doing 30 seconds of what I call hoist ups from a sitting position. Guess I’m no body builder.
However, being ever the dreamer—you have to be a dreamer if you think you’re going to make it as a prize-winning writer, and/or blogger — I have not let that dissuade me from practising. So I joined the Blogging 101. And practise as I will, I have no sign of mastery setting in.
***Time out*** I’m going to do some deep breathing here to master the art of conquering jealousy. But dang! The 101 bloggers are gooood! Oops. Deep breath.
Okay. Okay. I’ll keep practising. I’m up to it. I am. I AM!
Meanwhile, I’ll finish my Man on Camel story later. I SHALL master that, okay!!??
–PS: Practice is a noun. Practise is a verb. Never mind what spell check tries to tell you.
