Day 14 Dare

Nearly halfway there! I'm currently at 21, 557 words which is a bit behind. I hope to catch up soon. A good day could help me to catch up. I need to make sure I keep on task until I have that good day. I will keep the blogging today at a minimum to help with that.

Have a magical bookshelf
Bonus points if it always gives out the wrong books
Double bonus points if people think it's giving them the right books and act accordingly
Triple points and a cookie if the wrong book saves the day

This is one of those fortuitous moments when I had a character trapped in a room with bookshelves yesterday, now I have a gimmick to help him get out which will actually be a bit more believable. It could add to some interesting things to write about until the escape. I've spent a long time on a character that isn't my MC. Perhaps I've been focused on the wrong character before now?

Better get writing!

Fantasy dare 1

Here is the dare of the day:

I dare you to use the line, "Wow, I bet no one's ever said THAT before."

Bonus points if someone else claims they HAVE said it before.
Double bonus points if it's already been said before in this book.

I dare you to have your character stand in a grocery store aisle debating whether to use kosher or sea salt in a magical ritual.

Both accepted. And several others filed away for future use!



     That last part makes me think that the dares came from earlier posts. I still feel that because this was in the most recent post of the thread, it is the one I should take. I'll look for the earlier posts later, as I need to get writing! I guess with that salt dare that means there will be a bit of magic in my novel. I'm okay with that.
      I'm just lucky the most recent dare wasn't the one that dared to use all previous posts. That would've been over 100 extra dares to have to fit into my story. I told you yesterday that I was a bit nervous about the fantasy dare thread. Now I think you can understand why. 


Horror and Supernatural dare tomorrow!
