Sadly, I'd probably reach for that cliche if I had my 15 minutes. Now I need to figure out what I really would say. I think it'd depend on the situation. Thanks for making me think!Michelle D.

There has to be a better word to more aptly describe the experience. Exciting, frightening, challenging, but surreal? It is most definitely a catchall now, that really doesn't communicate too much. I raise my hand and take the same vow as Windsong. You may have started something here!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-35293885295807504662009-05-09T12:27:00.000-07:002009-05-09T12:27:00.000-07:00I love your picture. :D

I ...I love your picture. :D<br /><br />*holds up right hand*<br /><br />I vow never to use the "s" word when describing my 15 minutes of fame.<br /><br />I haven't noticed this one so much as lyrical (when the words really aren't all that lyrical to my ear), amazing, and all the other superlatives masquerading around on book covers. When any word is over-used, it tends to lose its impact for me. :DDanyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-86683963031913715892009-05-09T10:46:00.000-07:002009-05-09T10:46:00.000-07:00Yes, I agree.

Seems that when we have a hard time putting our finger on a feeling, we grasp for the cliche. <br /><br />I find myself doing this, too, by quickly describing something as "incredible," "awesome," or "amazing." I try to strike these adjectives from my writing, but honestly, I overruse them in my regular speech.Jennifer @ JenniferDukesLee.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15934656581948719407noreply@blogger.com
