Echoes of My Trademark! An author’s tale..
<p>I’ve never had to be called “The Jotter Keeper.” </p><p><br/></p><p>That was before I came upon the Twocents App, by the way.</p><p><br/></p><p>The only jotter I kept had just one line — just enough to fit in “<strong>Abiodun Ogunseye</strong>.”</p><p><br/></p><p>And so, it didn’t occur to me that there could be a stretch, an extension… of identity.</p><p>An identity that has now become a trademark.</p><p><br/></p><p>A while ago, sometime around January, I had a challenge.</p><p><br/></p><p>What could be my trademark? I longed for an answer, but didn’t get one.</p><p><br/></p><p>A lot of words choked my reasoning, yet none seemed to add up as I struggled to fill out the empty “<strong><em>Creator Name</em></strong>” feature on my profile. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Different names fought to occupy the void in my head, trying to fit in.</p><p><br/></p><p>But they were either too long, too short, too common, or too complex…</p><p><br/></p><p>They were just too much.</p><p>Then suddenly; </p><p><br/></p><p>I looked,</p><p>And I saw my jotters.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/c6d835e3-8e09-47be-a174-2443c5b8d0aa.jpeg"/><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>In that instant, inspiration came. I looked at the wooden shelf in the room; jotters were stacked together like the people of Jericho.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>There were used and unused jotters, and then it came to me — why don’t I use “<strong>The Jotter Keeper</strong>” as my creator name?</p><p>Since I had a very strong obsession with jotters, I went with the idea.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Those jotters were not just jotters,</p><p><br/></p><p>They were reservoirs of ideas, stored at the prompting of my quill.</p><p><br/></p><p>The ideas present themselves.</p><p>I accept them and keep them in my jotters.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>We made a pact long ago:</p><p>I kept the jotter,</p><p>And the jotter kept my thoughts and ideas.</p><p>With my jotter,</p><p><strong><em><sup>Ideas na water</sup></em></strong>.</p><p>So yes…</p><p>I was…</p><p><strong>The Jotter Keeper.</strong></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Now…</p><p>I have 13 insights because I kept my jotter.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that’s not the end of my journey, but the start of an exciting, innovative chapter.</p><p><br/></p><p>A chapter that may end soon — not because I don’t want to retain my existence,</p><p>But because I made a decision that I would use the exit button once I get to 30 insights.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><h4>Which has caused more chaos for me, because it was a “<em><strong>siphoned idea</strong></em>”.</h4><p><br/></p><p>And so, the Jotter Keeper</p><p>Stands stuck with thoughts of a thousand words, so to speak.</p><p>Wondering whether he is to stay</p><p>Or say goodbye once it’s Day.</p><p><br/></p><p>Excerpts from the minds of @Born Of God in collaboration with “The Jotter Keeper”</p><p><br/></p>
