A request to the Gods of inspiration

Writing 25 August 2009 | 15 Comments

Since my last post I’ve been suffering a slight dearth of inspiration, just in time to coincide with the shiny new website. And so I’ve decided to set myself a mini-challenge.  But it’s going to require a little bit of help from you, dear reader.

For the next seven days I am going to blog about any topic that you see fit to get me to write about. And it can be anything at all, be it a straight question or something a bit more unusual (say for instance Marzipan. Except you can’t do that, I’ve done it already.)

In order for this to work I’m gonna need 7 suggestions at least, so leave a comment or let me know on twitter what you want me to do. If I get more than 7 I’ll pick the best ones.

Get cracking!

    Right, we have our first two topics, from @punk_beatz and @tylermassey on twitter. Topic 1: Cheese. Topic 2: Condoms

    UPDATE! @gregeden has now chimed in with ‘Festivals’ so we now have topics through til Thursday!

    Cheers guys! ‘Cheese’ will be up later today.

    topics for conversation:

    1.)Where do the socks actually go?

    2.)A monkey holding a watermelon

  3. Paul says:

    Cheers Fiona, one of those will be Friday’s topic.

    Joe, really, that’s the best you can come up with? Seeing as you’ve posed that as a question I won’t take that as your final answer.

    Do you really want me to write about poop Joe? Really?

  4. Write a letter to your daughter.

    I know, I know, this sounds really lame, but I love The Girl Who‘s monthly “newsletters”.

    If you really hate the idea, just consider that this way you also have the “poop” angle covered..?

    And the prize for best proposal goes to Lis! That’s a great idea, and shall be Saturday’s topic.

  6. Joe says:

    I thought there may have been some amusing anecdotes from Rosie’s even more formative years…
    But if you’re going to be like that, i shall bid you good day.
    Tuh, you think you know someone…

  7. Paul says:

    Wait, Joe, come back!

    Just so you know, there are no amusing anecdotes regarding poo. It’s not funny when Rosie does it. It just smells. I shall mention poop at some point though, I promise.

  8. Joe says:

    Mine does too!

    The reason for the suggestion was that i was in and out of bed last night, cleaning up after pearl…she wasn’t feeling too good.
    As a combined result of that, and being woken up at 4am yesterday…ewrk’gjrt

    The sound of my head hitting the keyboard.
    So tired.

  9. Paul says:

    Fair enough. But I was hoping you would be the one person to ask me a nice geeky question I can write at length about. I would expect poop from the twitter hordes, but not you sir.

    I remain disappointed.

    Just like my mother was when I told her I was moving in with a miner’s daughter from Sheffield (I feel I should add that she wasn’t at all actually.) Ok, bit late, I was thinking high fidelity style list thingy, as well, it’s easy…to come up with the initial idea anyway…I have an ulterior motive, as I may pick a couple up when in Manchester next month…Top 5 Graphic Novels..
    There.

  11. Paul says:

    Cool beans. I shall do that Sunday.

  12. Joe says:

    You still have to mention poop though….

  13. Kerri says:

    I’ve not kept count. But, hmmm….let’s see…..indecision? That’s about the best that I can come up with at this point. Pathetic.

  14. Paul says:

    Cheers Kerri, and that’s Monday, the final day (and not at all pathetic!)
