Re: Dares 2011!

-Use the dictionary .com word of the day, every day you write in November

I will give this a go!

Still tangled up with my plot but ideas here are fab!

The dictionary.com word of the day dare is awesome. You're so on.

-Use the dictionary.com word of the day, every day that you write this november.

Ooh. Simple enough. And why not?

I'll just have to thank you anyway for putting this out there :D

Love the dictionary.com word of the day thing! :D

Taking the lyrics thing- kind of. I was already planning on basing my novel on song lyrics from my favorite artist. But most of his songs aren't necessarily well known.

I like this one too.

Ooh! Taking the building one, with +, ++, and cookie.

Leaving: The next time you're in a restaurant or coffee shop, do some people watching. Take notes on the most interesting-looking person you see. Create a character out of them, and insert them in your novel.

Challenge accepted.

I'll give the dictionary one a shot

Also taking:
-Have your characters explore an abandoned building
+ if they find something important to the plot there
++ if they didn't know they needed this item that they find.
+++ if they had no reason to be in the building in the first place
Cookie: if the building disappears from existence and there is no mention of it ever again.

That could definitely work in my story.

I believe by the end of November, you will owe me a cookie!

Oh, now I have to decide *which* character it is, or if there's some way I can make it both of them...

I might take the dictionary.com one, sounds fun. I'm probably gonna use the lyrics one too.

I can use these!

-Use the dictionary.com wod of the day, everyday you write this November.

I am going to try this.

I'm taking the dictionary.com and the abandoned building one.

Snagging the abandoned building!

Oooh! Taking! Do I get any bonus points if the character explored the abandoned building because they arrived at the wrong abandoned building?

Actually doing this. I have a character who loves winding people up, so this is pretty perfect.
