6/24/2023 0 Comments 100 theme writing challengeEven when you add in the washing up (usually while the coffee is grinding and brewing) still not two hours. And so it goes.īut emails and facebook don't take two hours. And going to bed at stupid o'clock means you've had enough sleep so that you wake up at stupid o'clock. It's a self-fulfilling routine too, because getting up at stupid o'clock also means you're ready for bed at stupid o'clock. I can't remember when it flipped from something we did because we happened to be awake early into The Daily Routine, but it wasn't long. Two mugs each, sat in front of our computers catching up with the previous 12 hours emails, facebook updates, tweets (for Nikki) and news feeds. We decided we may as well get up and enjoy a pot of coffee before going to work. A little over two years ago we both started waking up stupidly early. I know, I know, it's crazy, but it's been happening for so long now it feels normal. This is the second challenge that I have created and am posting.Most days, I'm up before 5.30am. (My first was the Valentine’s Day Challenge, if you want to check it out. ^-^) This challenge has a bit more flexibility, of course. It will work for writing, photographs, art, song lyrics, letters, and you could even use it to tell us all a little more about yourself. ^-^ It is the most flexible 100 Day Challenge you can find you don’t even have to go in order (except maybe with the ‘Beginnings’ and ‘Endings’ themes).Yes! This is what I wanted to go on about! I’m doing the 100 Theme Challenge ^-^!įor anyone who doesn’t know, the 100 Theme Challenge is this snazzy little thing which has been on DevaintArt for… like, forever, and – sure – I’m not actually a member of DA yet but I still want to do it. It’s where you have a list of themes (100, and that’s a LOT) and you have to draw a picture for each theme… but I don’t want to draw pictures! I don’t have a scanner yet and I just want to write for it… so I’m doing it like this. I’m using the original list as shown there too. There are several variations which people have come up with (see, it’s famous) but I’m going with the original. On another note, it’s my birthday in two weeks! It’s gone so fast, lol. My birthday is the sixteenth of May… and then I can join DA, haha. Well, I wrote number one yesterday! ‘Introduction.’ Well, it’s not very introductiony, but I used it as a sort of word prompt and it came from that word. It’s like a sort of interrogation scene… I don’t really know who this character is, but it’s a normal teenage girl – well, at least she thinks she’s normal. I don’t know exactly what this is myself, it just came to me… signing off early again. Dearie, you are much more interesting.” The voice stopped. I heard footsteps, taunting me through the blackness, making me flinch every time I thought they were coming near me. I couldn’t see a thing through this blasted blindfold, and they hadn’t even tried to make it comfortable. They – whoever they are – tied it so tight that it hurt, and it went straight over my hair, twisting it into the cloth when they had knotted it. It made my head pound, a faint, irritating buzz in my ears which did nothing to calm my nerves. “What do you want from me?” I whisper, my voice weaker than I would have liked, and each word cracked. It hurt to talk, but what else could I do? My arms were beginning to throb now, suspended over my head as they were, dangling limply from the shackles which held them. Not to mention that the floor was grimy and hard and ever so cold, my knees aching. “My dear… where are your manners?” The voice was soft, but sleek and cold, mocking always. Trying to sound brave, I say, “I don’t know your name either,” but it came out shaky. I could just imagine the cruel smile that I was certain that would come, though I hadn’t ever seen this person and I couldn’t see a thing now. I’m not at all interesting, unlike you.” There was a pause. I was vaguely aware of my heart thumping wildly in my chest. Don’t need to make such a big fuss over such a tiny thing.
