open invitation for a challenge

So here’s the deal. Want to know how dorky I am? On my wonderful blackberry, there is a memo-pad application thing and it is full of wonderful phrases or sentences or ideas for entries that I haven’t yet gotten around to. And as much as I used to laugh about the sentiment, I think its true – I think a lot of artists do best in adversity, and while I do have lots going on in my life right now, I’m content and happy. I’m struggling with a few things, but its not really stuff I could talk about openly, for many reasons. 1) I’m not ready and 2) its still a work in progress. Hence the challenge.

I’m not going to do the typical “ask any question” challenge, because it seems like a cop-out, but if a question is what comes to mind, feel free.

I want you to leave me a word, a phrase, the beginning sentence or two of a short story, etc. Challenge me to think and I can build on it.

That and I’d really like to get out of the mushy happy everything is a fairy tale come true headspace every once in awhile and sharpen my talons … Er… Talents on other new ideas I haven’t thought of yet.

Please? I’ll give you a gold star, or a hug or whatever you want….

^^^ oh my GOD I want to write that one up, Ashleigh. Dreamer, how about this. Every day in April, we both do a flash duel. The rules are: * timed 40 minutes to write/edit/post. Post-editing only for spelling/grammar. Precogitation allowed, but no rough drafts! * You supply: three words that must be used in the flash OR the first sentence OR the last sentence. I do the same for you. OK?

You are prolific! Me too. And that haredawg guy… We should get him to do this, too, though I’m sure he’ll kick both our asses. Should also ask Finn. She’s superb. Though she is too much of an editor, I bet.

Sure, I’ll do it. When I’m slingless in a few hours I’ll give ya a phrase. I think Ash should get in on it too.

I’m finding myself frustrated with confusedVt. “I’m not co-dependent. I just like helping.” LOL…that could describe most of us noting him!
