Hey look, everyone! It's a new challenge! Get excited! The turn out at the last challenge was, well, pretty darn pathetic. Such a good challenge, too, if I do say so myself. Anyway, I'm assuming you all must have taken Xangabreaks at the same time, or else were so completely bamboozled by the plethora of April Fool's jokes that you forgot how to string words together into sentences? It's ok, really--it happens to the best of us. So this time I trust that you'll all be chomping at the bit to tackle this next little gem of a challenge. Oh, and here it is! A drunk man sits next to you in a bar, thinks you're his buddy, and starts confessing "the truth." Share about what "the truth" is. This is a creative writing challenge. You can write a poem, a short story, a song, a journal-type entry, include pictures. It's entirely up to you. You may take this in whatever direction you would like. However, I'm sure we've all felt like drunkenly spilling our darkest secrets at some point in our lives so if you wish to make yours more introspective, feel free. Your deadline is April 30th. The Musts: You must have your entry set to public. You must link to either this site or the blog ring. You must come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge. I will then link to your entry. Here's the code for the graphic that links back to the challenge. For a small tutorial on how to make this work, if you would like to use it, click here. It should come out looking like this: ![]() Everybody's doing it! Enjoy! And go read these: Posted 4/28/2009 at 8:55 AM |

I'm about to declare this challenge dead, unless anyone has anything else to add. You have until the 13th. New month. New challenge. No foolin' you. From the results of the poll and the feedback generated on the last post, which I most certainly appreciate you taking the time to fill out and comment, I've gathered that over half of you would like more introspective challenges. Many of the responders who answered "Other," suggested that a blendy mix of all three would be nice as well. So that's what I've decided to do. Give you a rotation of types, leaning a bit more towards introspective. I also received some great future topic ideas from silkenbutterfly, and you will definitely be seeing some of those in the future. Your next challenge comes from the wacky mind of my boyfriend. I was picking his brain for some ideas. Most were a bit loony, but all are as fun as you make them. Write from the perspective of the last tree standing in the forest.
