It's one of those days where you have to run up the stairs from the photography studios because the lift takes too long. I get too enthusiastic about the practical sessions we have we Chris that I lose track of time and I get so into what I'm doing that before I know it, it's 10:55 and I've still got a studio to break down.

I fall into the classroom and take a seat. I'm feeling pretty lucky because Sharon hasn't arrived yet. The door flies open and in she comes with a top hat as you do, and we all know what is going to be in that hat.

She pops the slideshow on, the screen fills with magnificent words and all I'm hoping for is something dark and preferably something I can say.

The group goes quiet when Sharon asks us to pick a word out. No one wants to go first. Insert lots of jokes about Jam because yano, I found it hilarious that it was a word. I had visions of a sexual Hartley's Jam advert. I got very stern looks from Sharon for this suggestion. She doesn't get my creative genius ( big smiles )

I stick my hand in the hat after hearing a few of the words being picked.

*Drum Roll*

Effer..Effer-What Now?

EFFERVESCENT 

It's at this point I feel ridiculously stupid because I can't even say the word. Thanks to google I've got a pronunciation. We get handed big pieces of paper and are asked to create mindmaps.
 
This is rejigged version because I was literally writing down everything I was thinking at the time and it looked an absolute mess. So I tidied it up and just rewrote it with pretty colour pens and handwriting that doesn't resemble a spider that's been dipped in ink and is trying to translate the Da Vinci Code.

I really like exploring the idea of a Sea Nymph. I got to that by thinking of bubbly personalities and they always make me think of fairies and sprites. I just hope I can make it work some how with my brand.
