This is a tumblr post by Chuck Palahniuk expounding on a writing exercise he uses. I am going to attempt to complete the challenge over the course of six months. i will amend the everyday to two days simply because of schedule issues and a full time job. wish me luck.
See the part "An exercise in pulling hair" for the details. i suggest that anyone truly serious about their writing consider taking part in this exercise.

Versions
@supu1224 pitched me this idea: What about a story named versions where they face struggles of life and how that changes them into different persons from who they were at the beginning but they still find home in each other? I had to try and write this, so this is Harry and Louis from the beginning to end with glimpses of their lives together. Purely fictional. Some smut. Trigger warning: When this is a beginning to end fic it means death. It also contains drug use and violence. Enjoy!Complete
