THIS OR THAT CHALLENGE | WRITING

It Makes Perfect Sense

A January ToT using the five senses

It seems forever since our last This or That (ToT) challenge. Are you ready for more fun? I create thought-provoking questions to make you think.

Here’s how to play.

Copy these questions into a fresh draft and answer them honestly. It’s that easy. The hard part is choosing only one option rather than picking “both or neither.” However you choose to play, the most important thing is to have fun.

Be sure to tag me so I can read and support you once it’s published.

C’mon, let’s learn about each other.

1. You’re at a motel overnight. Would you rather listen to your neighbours having sex all night or to airplanes landing and taking off?

2. You’re on vacation. Would you rather enjoy a wine and cheese tasting or indulge in dessert?

3. Would you rather have a hot stone massage for relaxation or acupuncture to heal your pain?

4. Would you rather watch a naked exotic dancer or sketch a nude model in an art class?

5. Would you rather skin some trout you caught fishing or change multiple “poop-filled” diapers?

6. You’re stuck in a room with a single noise for half an hour. Which noise do you choose? Nails on a chalkboard or a car alarm?

7. Talking about the food, which do you prefer? Are you a greasy spoon junkie or a fine dining enthusiast?

8. You’re visiting a new country. Would you rather drive through the countryside or spend a day at a renowned museum?

9. Which smells better? A loaf of freshly baked bread smothered in garlic butter or sizzling BBQ ribs?

10. Would you rather hold a boa constrictor or pet a tarantula?

So, there you have it. Did you learn anything about yourself you didn’t realize?

You can view my past ToTs here. There’s no deadline. Why not join the fun?
