The reason I've decided to take on the challenge is that I've been feeling a bit blah lately. I miss creating things -- art, poems, heck, even research papers for class (do not tell my college professors). I will be taking different topics from fellow bloggers who have completed the challenge. I'll be following prompts (most taken from Story of My Life and others are of my own creation) or I'll just write about wherever the creative winds blow.
Feel free to join, in your own way, whether in the comments or in your own personal journal. I'd love to share this monthly journey with you. Aren't we lucky to live in a world where there are Octobers?

October 1: Describe
where or what you come from. The people, the places, and/or the factors that
make up who you are.
October 2: If you
could take three months off from your current life and do anything in the
world, what would you do? (bonus points for fun photos from Pinterest, but don't
forget to cite the source!)
October 3: Pass on
some useful advice or information you learned and always
remembered.
October 4: A story
about a time you were very afraid.
October 5: Take this short personality test and respond to your
results. (at the end, find the detailed profile of your personality account -
click "click to view" under "You" and "self awareness
and personal growth." You can even google your type and find more info on
it!)
October 6: Describe
a distinct moment when your life took a turn.
October 7: Share
links to your favorite online shops, preferably with a few photos of your
favorite items in each shop.
October 8: Discuss ways that
blogging or social media has changed you.
October 9: A self
portrait
October 10: Write a
public love letter to someone in your life. (It doesn't necessarily need to be
romantic.)
October 11: A
memory you would love to relive.
October 12: Only
photos
October 13: Creative
writing day: write a (very short) fictional story that starts with this
sentence: "To say I was dreading the dinner party would be the understatement
of the century."
The story does not necessarily
need to have a conclusion - you can leave your readers wishing for more!
October 14: React
to this term: comfort.
October 15: A "life
lately" post. What you're up to, how you're feeling, how you're doing on
your goals, etc. Bonus points for great photos!
October 16: Review a book, place, or
product.
October 17: Write about a time you
screwed up - a mistake you made.
October 18: Go to a coffee shop.
Order a favorite drink. Write about what makes you happy and what makes you
sad. Or write about anything you'd like! Bonus points for including a photo
from the coffee shop. *if
you can't make it to a coffee shop, at least leave your usual space and write
someplace new.
October 19: An anonymous letter to
your Facebook friends. Be as snarky as you'd like. (but don't include people's
real names.)
October 20: Share a
photo of something old. Maybe something that has personal history for you, that
was passed down to you, and that has special meaning to you. Tell us about it
and why it's special.
October 21: Something that makes you uncomfortable.
October 22: Write a sequel, in the form of a poem, to your favorite book or movie.
October 23: An ode to your favorite article of clothing.
October 24: Write down your most recent dream.
October 25: A haiku.
October 26: List all the fears you have when you woke up this morning.
October 27: Free Day.
October 28: Things you've learned that school won't teach you.
October 29: October Favorites
October 30: Favorite Halloween memory.
October 31: Favorite posts of Blogtober.
Yours xx
