A friend sent me a link to the site of the Time Ninjas, two British women who explain themselves and their name as follows on their "About" page:
We are the Time Ninjas. Why? Erm. Well, Time creeps up on us and all that, so we thought we could turn the whole stealth thing back onto Time and surprise it. Kind of. But mainly because we liked the sound of it.
I got a kick out of the concept, the name, and the honesty with which they admit the less impressive reason to choose the name, i.e. the sound of it. Not that I, DeCluttered Creative and Working Writer Wonders, can relate to that.
They're currently doing a project that asks folks to pledge a specific amount of time...to themselves. I'm pondering that wise thought.
In the meantime, I browsed their blog and found this opening line in one of their posts: I know that sometimes the absolute best way to use my time is to stop.
A concept with which I wholly and fully agree in principle, but have trouble putting into practice, as all who know me are aware. Hence time can be a ninja that whomps me, rather than me being a time ninja that sneaks up and masters it.
About Me
- Suzanne Fox
- I write, mentor writers, and teach on subjects including writing, creativity, and authentically powerful book platform and marketing. I'm currently working on a novel set in 1850s Britain. When I’m not inventing lives for imaginary people or challenging real folks to take creative leaps, I take naps, pretend I do yoga, resist the urge to redecorate, refuse to iron, and try to wean myself off Coke Zero.
