7 Minutes in (writer's with writer's block's) Heaven

Starting today, I'm going to be doing a 30 day "7 Minutes in Heaven" creative writer's challenge.

But, no, I will not be making out with a keyboard. Yes, I know you'd all love to see that.

I tell you what, get me enough prompts (and emotional support) to get me through these 30 days, and I will make out with my keyboard for no less than 70 seconds and post video evidence.

No, I'm not kidding.

Yes, it will be disgusting.

But back to the challenge.

How does 7 Minutes in Heaven work?

It's simple.

1. The writer takes a prompt,
2. She sits down at her writing desk, and
3. writes like crazy for 7 minutes straight.

The goal is for the keyboard to be clicking or pencil to be moving the entire time.

It's a "First Thought, Best Thought!" type situation, so if you take this challenge as well, expect some crap to come pouring out.

Personally, having done this before, I suggest scheduling therapy to talk about the disgusting psychological sludge you drudge up somewhere around day 22.

This is also a Daily Doers challenge, meaning it's something you do every day, for 30 days.

Where do you, my precious readers, come in?

How will you ensure you get to see a 70 second keyboard makeout??

I need prompts.

30 of them.

and I need them to be GREAT.

Or at the very least I need them to be hilarious.

For my version of this challenge, I'm going to be writing 7 Minutes of Fictitious Heaven, which means I'll be writing 7 minutes of fiction every day.

And yes, I'll be posting these up for everyone to see. Every. single. day.

Are you excited? You should be.

Do you want to join me? Even for a day or two? I'll repost, retweet, and reblog!
