Challenge: Coming Soon
17/8/09 10:25So it’s August but you’re snowed in, snowed in by the challenges piled around you. You’re cold and you’re afraid, afraid because you know that sooner or later you’re going to pop over to ‘A Novel Challenge' and a big shower of icicles and snow mush will fall on your head as you can’t quite resist signing up for just one. more. challenge. Then you’ll be buried in challenges (and snow apparently).
So why should you listen to me when I say you should join my new, never been seen before challenge? Well, there are a few reasons:
1.) It’s not an ‘official challenge’. It’s a personal challenge that I thought other people might like to hear about. No one but me will be judged for failing this challenge – doesn’t that make it sound shiny, exciting and non-pressurised. Granted I’m not quite sure what make a challenge official, as it’s not like there are book guards breathing down your necks if you look like you’re going to miss the deadline, but this challenge will be somehow more unofficial than all others. Perhaps I’ll wander through your blog posts saying ‘Who gives a bibble, gabba gabba hey’.
2.) The completion date is way in the future – September 2010 to be precise. That’s after Christmas, after New Year, probably after your next birthday. That gives you plenty of time to complete it.
3.) There’s no need to do formal book reviews, I’ve thought up a whole other easy system for this challenge. You can concentrate on creating your own posts with very little responsibility to the challenge.
4.) It has levels and categories and the potential for intensive list making. It may in fact be a categorising list-makers dream challenge.
5.) There may be prizes. The completion date is way in the future, so I feel quite happily about promising some of my future salary away.
6.) If someone else joins we could have a button. I don’t think a challenge just for me merits a button, however if people wanted to play along we could get a button. A cool button.
So are you ready for a little teaser about what the challenge might involve (all the details to be revealed tomorrow)? Well, it’s all focused around poetry....
