10 Ways

I am a chronic listmaker. I’m not kidding. I’ve made lists of lists to make. I can’t help it, nor do I want to. It’s a compulsion that I love to live with.  (Organizing those lists to be useful, now that can be a different story…)

So as I was contemplating articles to add to my Renaissance Minds site, the idea of writing a few “Top 10″ lists came to me. I quickly grabbed a sheet of paper and brainstormed a few “10 ways to -” ideas… and my muse woke up, did a nice loud whistle for her friends to come runnin’, and for the next hour or so they bombarded me with ideas of “10 Ways” lists to make!  Whew.

I was hoping to come up with 12 topics, so I could do one a month at my site. Well. 60 or so brainstormed ideas later, I realized that this might be bigger than I’d been imagining!  Apparently my muse is a compulsive list-maker too - who knew? (Although that certainly explains a LOT about why I am the way I am.) And that, my friends, is the story of the conception of 10 Ways.  If you have any comments or questions - or suggestions for more lists! - please send them my way!  As for me, gotta run - I feel an overwhelming urge to make another list.
