INNOVATIVE IDEAS

#This Kinda Happened To Me

Starting a revolution one tag at a time

I was kinda kidnapped by the mafia. It was kinda staged. Or kinda something. Photo by René Ranisch on Unsplash.

This happened to me.

Well, sort of. Not really. Okay, it did — but with a twist.

That seems to be the foundation of most of my articles. They usually have at least a sliver of truth.

Don’t we all write what we know?

“Write what you know,” Mark Twain said.

You may have heard of him. He “challenged the fundamental issues that faced the America of his time; racism, evolving landscapes, class barriers, access to education and more.” And he told us to write what we know.

So I do it. You do it. Let’s just admit that we all do it.

Embellish. Garnish. Exaggerate. Fucking all-out lie.

Like the very real story that I wrote about something that actually happened to someone else — but I pretended it was my narrative.

Naughty, naughty.

I didn’t get off the hook, though. There was payback.

Back to This Kinda Happened To Me. And starting a trend.

Let’s start a trend

So, what’s my point, you inquire, rolling your eyes? Thanks for asking! Yeah, I know you didn’t. Shut up and just read about my objective — which involves using our deceit to help cross Top Writer in [something weird and wonky] off of our Bucket List.

Let’s try it. Write an article with some semblance of truth. Tag it This Kinda Happened To Me.

See if it brings you fame and fortune. Or at least Top Writer status.

Here’s how to tag it.

Top Writer Success Stories

Christopher Robin succeeded with Uniporn.

Michael Burg, MD (Satire Sommelier) earned his status in Bullshit.

Let’s start a trend!

Takeaways

We all BS. Let’s benefit from it.

This Kinda Sorta In A Weird And Wonky Way Happened To Me. You too?
