Okay, what if I told you it had been too long since there was a writing challenge, and that after polling the people in the know, erm, that’s you guys, I’ve realised that inspiration is a little thin on the ground. So here’s the thing, we need something to get our top boxes ticking, and after consultation with the main man Jed, he has given his permission for me to issue forth a challenge.
Now I know you’re all busy, heck I am too, but no one is asking you to sit down and write war and piece, how about if I give you a topic and you just sit down and blog about the first thing that comes to mind for 5 or 10 minutes. Free thought after all is when we are at our most random.
This challenge will run until I remember have time to put the next one up, hopefully next Wednesday, but I am not going to put restrictions on myself, because I only end up getting stressed and eating cookies.
Ok, so the challenge for this week is as follows:
Okay, What if I asked you about public transport?
It’s deliciously random isn’t it, well you can thank Wee Blue Birdie for that. While discussing challenges the other night she issued this one to me as we both use public transport, and I, being kind and generous decided to pass it on.
There is no doubt that at some time in your life you have had to avail of public transport, how did you find it? anything funny happen? meet anyone funny? have a bad experience? or even weirder still, if you could invent your own method of public transport what would it be? The limits are endless!
Best of luck, and all that we ask is that you put a ping bank (link) to this post in your own. This means that we here at Okay, What If? and also anyone else visiting this post will be able to see your entry easily. If you are unsure how to place a Ping back (link) into your post, click the highlighted word above to find some instructions from WordPress.
Thank you to all my friends who have given me ideas fro future challenges, if you have an idea you would like to share, please feel free to do so.
Looking forward to seeing your entries 🙂 and please feel free to re-blog this post to let others know.
P.s – I just had to resurrect Professor Cat and the original banner, that in itself is a good enough reason to issue a challenge.
Reblogged this on The Indecisive Eejit and commented:
Get writing eejits, time to give the old noggin a nudge! 🙂
Ugh. You’re really not going to let me out of this one are you? Okay, am thinking….no promises, but I’m thinking on it…..
lol That’s good enough for me. As I said to Jed, it will at least get my mind going, anyone else joins in and it’s a bonus 🙂
Okay, there’s no way I can top this thing I just found online. Consider it my “entry”……..

Ha! Some of those are absolute belters right lol they make my conversations boring by comparison. I want to travel on those trains lol
Am glad you enjoyed. My measly experiences on public transport just didn’t even come close and I was Googling for a way to go with this and happened on this. A riot!
Here’s my effort then 🙂 http://wp.me/p4DMGO-lr A compendium of traveller’s delights
I love it. A brilliant take on the travellers you encounter. Sadly my train is too full in the morning to allow me to take in the details of anyone specific, unless of course they do something outside the norm. I do sometimes love to wonder where people are off to. Ah I might have to do another post now. You rose to that challenge little bird and you flew 🙂
Okay I found this challenge through JED’s blog.
Here is my effort: http://summerstommy.com/2015/03/22/okay-what-if-challenge-boys-day-out/
