This one didn’t turn out quite as planned. I was trying to find sites that create custom action figures. Because that’s awesome. Duh. But the links came up short. More transactional and not very inspirational.I couldn’t find enough to write about. And that’s a problem when you’ve got to think up 100 lines.

So I found custom teddy bears…

This sounds fun, right? But even this became a challenge. What I clicked was more about creating a plush of your pet, or ordering bulk amounts of a dolls. Good if you’re a children’s book author. Not if you’re a parent who wants to wants Build-A-Bear on steroids.

(That wording is off, but  I’m gonna leave it because it’s funny).

Anyway, I didn’t find what I was looking for until I was on the final stretch. So the lines were swayed in the wrong direction and never hit the mark. It’s a shame because it could be a good list.

…Boy, I really sold this post, didn’t I?

Anyway, here are 100 headlines about custom plushes

Overall: Swing & a miss. Uninspired. By the time I found what I was looking for, I was mentally checked out. Blah.

Lesson: For the life of me, I could not decide on a topic today. It messed me for an hour as I searched site-after-site for something. By the time I found it, I was tired, in the wrong mind frame, and not at all motivated to write.  No Bueno.

  • I think there could be something to the Pinocchio / Gepetto them…
  • This one might be worth trying again if I approach it with a new frame of mind

Time: 1:05—which is the same amount of time I spent hunting for a topic.
