Something Different

In an effort to write something that isn't a melodramatic contemplation of my current life, I decided to seek out a 30 day writing challenge.

I found this one here after a brief google search:


Day 1:  A place that you love.
Day 2:  Facing the fear
Day 3: A genre you've never written in before.
Day 4: Dialogue only, please.
Day 5: Inspired by your favourite song.
Day 6: Second person coffee.
Day 7: A day in the life of your favourite comic book character.
Day 8: A place that exists only in your mind.
Day 9: El Diablo
Day 10: The Interview
Day 11: A moment in history.
Day 12: Your passion
Day 13: The place you grew up.
Day 14: In the style of a favourite writer.
Day 15: The road goes ever on
Day 16: How an event from yesterday could have gone
Day 17: The Ocean
Day 18: The taste of your favourite meal.
Day 19: The day of randomness - use a random page from Wikipedia to inspire you!
Day 20: A place you want to visit.
Day 21: First person blind date.
Day 22: Night
Day 23: Standing at the precipice
Day 24: The City
Day 25 A poem.
Day 26: Something you witnessed today.
Day 27: A snippet from a novel you want to write.
Day 28: Second person bank robbery
Day 29: Blue Powder
Day 30: The End

So, Oliver Davies, I hope that you don't mind that I'm totally jacking your writing challenge.Just want you to know that I like it because: 

a.) It's broad enough that none of the topics seem boring to me.
b.) It almost allows me to completely avoid writing any poetry.

But wait! It gets even better! Bryan, the pretty good cartoonist behind wvisformonsters.tumblr.com who also happens to be my boyfriend, has agreed to simultaneously do a 30 day drawing challenge. Whoever gets closest to actually completing his or her respective challenge in the allotted 30 days is the honorary More Creative and Interesting Person in the Relationship. Obviously, the stakes are pretty high.

Day 1 is tomorrow!
