Every day I am going to try to write something. Sometimes a story, sometimes a poem, sometimes a reflection over my own life. It'll be wild and crazy and maybe it will be raw and beautiful. I'll try different styles and different points of views. This will truly be a challenge in ever sense.

Dedications go to people who follow me. If you take this challenge, tell me! I'll read it. The songs are my favorites at the moment, or whatever I feel is fitting.

This is the list of prompts.
