One big-ass month-long challenge.
Since Diane is busy with kids and hasn’t time for a new dead guy game, I’m going to give you a challenge that should keep you busy for 30 days, if you keep up with it. THAT is the real challenge, remembering to do this each day.
This one is called the 30-day letter challenge. You will write a letter to a specified person each day for 30 days. Not a real letter, just as a blog post each day. You don’t need to or have to show the letter to the person you wrote it to, and you don’t have to include their names. How personal you get is up to you.
Since it’s late in the day, we will start this challenge tomorrow (Thursday). I hope that at least 3 of my 5 readers will participate. If you like, you can put a link to your challenge posts in my own challenge posts in the comment area.
Some of the people on this list may be the same person. Some of them may dredge up memories you don’t wish to revisit. Whatever the case is, feel free to skip a day for any reason. I, personally, am going to attempt each one on the list. I warn you though, mine will probably be quite personal and by day 30 you may have new insight into why I am who I am.. You can keep yours as light or heavy as you want.
So here is the list of who to write a letter to on which days:
Day 1 — Your Best Friend
Day 2 — Your Crush (if you don’t have one, maybe a crush from the past)
Day 3 — Your parents
Day 4 — Your sibling (or closest relative)
Day 5 — Your dreams (yes, write a letter to your dreams)
Day 6 — A stranger who you’ve seen but never spoken to
Day 7 — An ex-love partner (ex-spouse, ex-boyfriend/girlfriend)
Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend
Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet
Day 10 — Someone you don’t talk to as much as you’d like to
Day 11 — A Deceased person
Day 12 — A person who caused you a lot of pain
Day 13 — Someone you want forgiveness from
Day 14 — Someone you’ve drifted away from
Day 15 — The person you miss the most
Day 16 — Someone that’s not in your state/country
Day 17 — Someone from your childhood
Day 18 — The person that you wish you could be
Day 19 — Someone that pesters your mind—good or bad
Day 20 — The one that broke your heart the hardest
Day 21 — Someone you judged by their first impression
Day 22 — Someone you want to or should give a second chance to
Day 23 — The last person you kissed
Day 24 — The person that gave you your favorite memory
Day 25 — The person you know that is going through the worst of times
Day 26 — The last person you made a pinky promise to
Day 27 — The friendliest person you knew for only one day
Day 28 — Someone that changed your life
Day 29 — A person you should fess up something to
Day 30 — Your reflection in the mirror
Whoa…. that’s a long-ass challenge. But, I’ll give it a whirl
I’m game. I think.
Yay!
Wow. This is involved.
I’ll see what I can do. Interesting challenge, Mel.
Give it a go, Nicole, even if only partial.

I’m drunk
dfjhgdsfds
done!
What do you mean, “done” ???
There is no answer to this challenge on your blog. So done you are not. Drunk, I believe.
Whoa, this is a bigger challenge than flying with my sister from Vancouver to Paris (but that’s a whole other story — and hee hee, just had to get that Paris in there somehow).
Can I catch up as I’m a day late already? Whatever, I’ll do it just because it’ll get me writing something each day.
So will write two today and keep on until the end of the month. Write On, I say, write on!
You can do this however you want!
Day 1 is up. Day 7 and 13 will be hard – they’re the same person.
Already, on day 1 it’s tough. Much of my past I’m not particularly proud of. It took me too long to learn what I really needed to learn, and I still have a hard time applying it all.
Perri you can skip days, you know! This whole thing is hard.
Hmmmm. My attention span is so bad I don’t know if I can do it…maybe if I pick and choose a few days here and there…oh look! There’s something shiny over there…
Well I figured if you did any of them at all, it will be a comedy-thing.
