Redeeming Fame
She opens her bleary eyes wide and stares at the screen.
A few words that she types are savagely deleted, yet again.
Something had to be done immediately, she sighs.
A re-look at her earlier draft brings a smile.
Yes, this should bring her back into the limelight from her last six minutes of fame.
Linking this to Bar-A-Thon

I have to say there is a true point here… In today’s day and age, we don’t even get 15 minute sof fame… Around 6 is all we get. Then it is about trying back into the limelight once more

This happens many times. Looking back at old write up gives inspiration for the new one.
