Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “ in the blink of an eye“ and it is a phrase meaning is “very quickly, immediately, straight away, right away, instantaneously, instantly, suddenly, abruptly, all of a sudden, at a stroke, forthwith, in a short time”.
Example Sentence: People normally think that to write a good piece, one needs inspiration which can be easily found. All you need to do is look around and you will get inspiration in the blink of an eye. The truth is inspiration is not a random fruit which will fall and a revolutionary thought like Newton’s will pop into your mind. One of the most difficult truths you will learn about writing is that if you sit ideally waiting for inspiration, you will never get any work done. Many people feel that you must be inspired to write, but it is nearly always the other way: you must write to get inspired.
