Reading Danny’s Writing Challenge: Back to Idioms and Phrasal Verbs I over-confidently thought that it was not a big deal and I would run off a story based on all the idioms provided by him.  But that was not the case. I ran on thinking how to cope with it.  I ran my mind hard over some hints, some points, some ideas, but my mind was totally blocked.  It seemed that I was running like a hairy goat.  I was feeling like I ran out of all the thoughts, ideas, even glimpses of some romance.  “Oh! The writing was not so complicated for me, but this topic has made me run into the ground.”   It seemed that I was a newbie unable to write even a few lines.  My heart was running like the clappers in dejection.  Danny’s topic ran me down.  I had never run so short of ideas.  So, I decided to run down and not to write anything.  But please do not consider my being run over. It is just for the time being.  I will come back and face it once again.
