My Challenges
OK, so here's my list, which may be subject to a little tweaking as time goes on:
1. To edit my first NanoNovel and send it off to agents / publishers.
2. To really work at making a career out of writing instead of just wishing for it.
3. To play semi-quavers on my flute without tripping over them.
4. To post to my blogs and livejournal at least once a week.
5. To write my family recipe book.
I think that's all for now. There is so much more I want to achieve, but too much and I won't manage anything at all.
The Big, Fun, Scary Adventure Challenge 2008
This is a log of participation in the Office of Letters and Light's second annual Big, Fun, Scary Adventure Challenge.
I've started this as a place to post challenges, progress reports and so on.
Of course, the official place to be is the 'The Year of Doing Big, Fun, Scary Things Together' Forum Thread, and this blog is only a supplement.
If you would like to post to this blog, please contact me - here is my NaNoWriMo profile - or you can email me directly: debbie [at] social-science.co.uk.
About the Big, Fun, Scary Adventure Challenge:
The Challenge works like this: All of us come up with a list of things that we've long dreamed about doing, making, or being. These can be hard-nosed acts of practical skill-acquisition, such as becoming a ninja and learning to kill people with one's eyebrows. Or they can be fantastical notions such as going back to school and getting a degree in business administration....
To take part in the challenge, you just need to post at least one big, fun, or scary goal for yourself in the BFS forum of the NaNoWriMo site. Then, come January 1, we'll roll up our sleeves, pack a lunch and a change of underwear, and set out into the unknown together.
We'll use the BFS forum to post reports on our progress and setbacks, locate fellow adventurers who can help us reach our goals, and generally whoop it up in true Office of Letters and Light fashion as we move a few items on our lifetime to-do lists from "someday" to "done that."
Superheroes who complete at least one of their adventures before December 31, 2008 will receive a Big, Fun, Scary Adventure Challenge winner's certificate to remind them of their feat.
