 Post subject: Marrow's 30 Day Challenge |
 |
|
Hi people. I have a little challenge for you all. Are you ready? I hope you're ready. Here it comes!
I challenge you all to write something creative every day for the next 30 days. Every day you will then post your creation in a blog for everyone to see. It does not have to be heavily polished, but it does have to be new work. The idea is just to get creativity flowing, which I know from personal experience can be a real bitch to do.
I was planning to do this regardless of whether or not anyone else joined in, but then I thought to myself that it might help if other people were doing it, too. That way we could keep track of how each of us is doing throughout the challenge. Plus, we would be able to leave crits in each other's comment boxes.
As a final note, I'd like to mention that you do not have to all start at the same time. I'm planning to start today, but you do not have to. Ideally, you would start around the same time, but it does not have to be exactly the same day.
Let me know what you all think about the idea. Maybe some of you will join in...?
Note: the blog I created for this challenge (for myself) can be found here.

Oh noes. I'll do my best. This is my regular blog, so there'll be other non-creative stuffs too. You have been warned!
Phalmy and Fuchsia, I've added you as friends on LJ. If you'd rather I hadn't, I can reverse it.

Sure! The only requirement is that you're completely mad, but I think most of us here fit it that category. ;)
I found it really difficult to write something yesterday, but I did it. I only hope that I'm going to get better at it--the end result was so disastrous I was tempted to shift my start day to today. But then I'd shift it to Tuesday, then Wednesday...
I knew this was going to be difficult, but not quite this difficult. ^_^

| I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying reading everyone's stuff as well as being given a kick to start my own writing again. Great idea, Marrow.

Fun you say? I won't have it! No fun allowed! This is SERIOUS BUSINESS! ;)

Absolutely. Anyone can do it. You just have to have the gumption to stick to the 30 days, even when it's 11:30 and you only have one paragraph written and it feels like you're already going to fail. Which... wasn't me last night... Definitely not.

Three times I've managed a very narrow BYPASS DOOM now. I pray that a fourth such boon is granted to me today!

So from what I've read, it seems that people are putting this off until the last wee hours of every day...
True? Or not?
