Day 52

You're giving up everything and starting over.

Challenge: Do something daringly different.

Tip: Use your imagination and creativity. This may sound remedial, but many people lose sight of what's outside the box. Take a few steps where you've never gone before and explore your imagination.

Ready. Set. Restart.

Day 48

Lay in the grass, close your eyes, and feel everything around you. Describe.

Challenge: Tell an entire story - detailed description and all - in under 400 words.

Tip: As you notice your surroundings, write it out in your head. The best parts will stick and the rest will be filled in as you write.

Ready. Set. Feel.

Day 45

Go to the ends of the earth. For something. For someone. For anything.

Challenge: Go farther.

Tip: You should feel everything you put into your writing. The more something feels, the more it's real.

Ready. Set. Travel.

Day 43

Technology. Is it bringing us down, or holding us up?

Challenge: Write a dystopian short story about what technology's doing to society.

Tip: Sometimes, your own writing gives you the chills or frightens you a bit. That's okay. In fact, the more emotionally effected you are by the writing, the more your audience will be.

Ready. Set. Imagine.

Day 37

A bit depressing but, how would the world around you be different if you had died yesterday?

Challenge: Add this perspective into a current story you have.

Tip: This doesn't have to be a story, it can be a reflection or an essay. Find some thoughts that you have on the matter and string them together, playing with the form.

Ready. Set. Imagine.
