What Would I Attempt if I Knew I could Not Fail!

Sunday Scribblings Smorgasbord Prompt #1 What would you do if you knew you would not fail?

scan%204%20sm.jpg


I thought my illustration, entitled Solimar was very fitting for this prompt!


This is SS's first ever prompt and I am honored to be able to respond it now, since I was no where near the blogosphere back when it was posted!!! I am currently sitting at the airport with 50 highschool students about to embark on their spring break in France and Germany! (You guessed it - someone in this world convinced me to make my spring break about chaperoning!! Damn him!) and Hi Steph!! I miss YOU!!!p>

So what wouldn't I attempt???!! ;) Well, here is what I would attempt:


I would quit my job and go into business for myself. Maybe even have a storefront of magical and alchemical objects that only imaginarites could shop in! I would mail out that manuscript that I have never even brought past the front door. I would die my hair Marilyn Monroe Blonde even for just a month! I would shave my head! I would create a foundation for young women in which they are taught to be, survive and thrive! I would sell the house and travel everywhere for a year. I would birth a child! I would open a working gallery - complete with artist classes. I would be a lead singer to music band and sing Joplin and Nina Simone covers. I would try to meet Johnny Depp and ask him 'Voulez Vous Couchez Avec Moi C'est Sois?? Or something like that! I would hunt down actor, Benicio del Toro and ask him to perform a love scene with me on Broadway for a whole year!! I would glass blow for a living. I would travel to outer space and back. I would get laser surgery on my eyes so that I wouldn't think the Almighty has bestowed me with new sight everytime I fall asleep with my contact lenses on! I would sky dive.


Oh No! My plane is boarding!!! Go to go! bye!

AG,
Golly, where to start? OK, first of all I'm in awe over you picture, I love it, and by that I mean I really do like it.
Second; How dare you go to my favorite country, my favorite city, and not at least offer an invite? LOL. Next time?
You're going to live forever! Thats how long it will take for you to do everything on your list.
Have great fun and bring back tons of images.

Steph, I beat you and I am in France..ho ho..(with deep french accent! I would draw every single living soul in the world and give them the drawing then have a huge party everywhere for all of them to celebrate the inherent goodness in us all...cheezy...then I guess I would surround the white house with star wars figures with inappropriate gestures on each one.

bye for now

Hahah! That was brilliant! I loved it!
The easiest questions would be to ask you: why the hell not? But I'll refrain from sounding annoying because I know better.
But you've inspired me to give this prompt another thought (I don't mean I'm going to write about, as it would probably be too ridiculous but I'll think about it)*grin*

chica de amareto :)
tienes buen gusto (benicio del torro!)
your writing is excellent.
from reading your blog it seems like your actual life has a 'fairy book' quality to it - how many people marry their best friend?
buen viaje

I like the illustration a lot! Send that manuscript, you will be successful. Have fun in the old continent, I know you will, even with all those teenagers around you. I am heading to Germany this saturday, I will look for you... Wouldn't it be nice to meet?
