Good
morning! Well, I’m getting there. I breached the 20K mark yesterday. I’m still
behind, but the margin is getting smaller. I am a little worried though,
because next Friday starts a string of days where I won’t be able to write. If
I have any hope of reaching the goal this time, I need to seriously start
cranking out pages, nay, chapters.
A
few months back, on my blog, I ran a survey asking what types of writing challenges
y’all preferred. Your choices were: photo challenges, three word challenges,
broad challenges, specific scenario challenges, and one other I cannot remember
right now. I didn’t get a whole lot of responses, but the ones I did said you
like the specific scenario challenges best. Of course, these are the hardest
ones to come up with, and to be perfectly honest, I did hunt the web for some
ideas, then tweaked them a little for you. Yesterday’s challenge came from a
teacher. I wanted to give her, or at least her site, credit for the prompt in
my blog today, but when I went back this morning to look for the information, I
couldn’t find the site again. I feel bad because some of her prompts were
really interesting and I thought you would have enjoyed them.
Okay,
as fun as this is, I really must skedaddle if I have any hope of reaching my
goal. I hope you have a lovely day, and
happy writing!
Your Last Challenge:
You are walking down an alley and you come to an unusual
dead end. There are several recognizable portals in front of you – Alice’s Rabbit
Hole, A Wardrobe, The Entrance to 221B Baker Street, Boo’s Door, Maxwell Smart’s
Phone Booth, Dumbledore’s Spiral Staircase, (insert one I didn’t think of). You
turn around to go back, but you find your way blocked. Your only option is to choose.

I trace the pretty purple flower on the
next door. If I go through, I could personally choke Randall, high-five Mike,
and give Sully a hug, but other than that, it really doesn’t hold much appeal
to me.
Only two options left; the world of
spies and espionage or the world of magic and wonder. Both fascinating in their
own ways, yet both with inherent dangers.

Your
Next Challenge is:
You decide to take a photography class for fun. For your
first assignment, your teacher tells you to go to the park and simply snap
photos of anything that catches your eye, then bring the film back to class to
be developed. When the pictures start to develop, your teacher teases you about
how the assignment was supposed to be a variety of things in the park which
caught your eye, not one subject. Having no idea what your teacher is talking
about, you look at the pictures and notice, there is a man in every single scene,
staring back at the camera.
You have 10 minutes (be honest). There is no right or wrong,
just write. Spelling and punctuation don’t count and NO ONE is allowed to
criticize what someone else has written. Go.
