THIS OR THAT CHALLENGE | WRITING

It’s Time for Us to Dream

A ToT focused on your imagination

For this month’s This or That, I thought I’d ask you to imagine, to think, and to dream.

All you need to do is to copy and paste these questions into a new story and answer them with your unique style. Many readers want to get to know you better.

Each question has an either/or, so if you can, try not to answer “neither” or “both.” It’s much harder that way.

Please don’t forget to tag me so I can read and support you.

Let’s get started shall we?

1. If they made a movie of the last dream you remember, would it be fiction or nonfiction?

2. Do you spend more time reimagining the past or imagining the future?

3. Would you prefer to live a day in the life of a criminal lawyer or a police officer?

4. Are you best suited as a contestant on Jeopardy or Family Feud?

5. If you could study cooking (all expenses paid), would it be at a cooking school in its country of origin or with a private chef in your kitchen?

6. You wake up a superhero. Do you prefer incredible strength or invisibility?

7. You have one week to live with no family. Would you spend all your money or donate it all? (There’s no doing both!)

8. You must live one year without people; would you rather spend it with dogs or cats?

9. Imagine you controlled the Universe, would you feed the hungry or eradicate illness?

10. If you could choose a mentor for one year to improve your writing, would you choose an author who’s alive or dead?

If you found these questions challenging, then I’ve done my job. I try to make my ToTs thought provoking.

Here are some others in case you missed them.

Here are the participants and supporters of the pub’s challenges. Please show their stories some love. (Please let me know if you want your name removed from or added to the list. Either is easy to do, per your request. All you need to do is ask in the comments or a note.)
