[ dedicated to Lydia, the queen of writing challenges ]
What's up, guys? I finally created a writing challenge, because why not? I have too many ideas, anyway.
R U L E S
☠ If you're interested, be sure to let me know! You can dedicate a chapter to me, on either of my accounts - @backfires or @stereoactive, preferably the first chapter, or you can leave a link to your story somewhere here in the comments or on my message board. Be sure to do so, because I'll have a reading list dedicated to this as soon as someone tries out, and I'd love to read your work!
☠ Please tag your story with the tag recklesschallenge, so I can find it as well, just in case!
☠ Please credit me as the writer of these prompts.
☠ Don't reword them, please.
☠ You can reorder the prompts as you like.

There's this thing we all have, the brain, I think it's called. Sometimes, I believe we shouldn't use it. Just trust your gut, and take the fall. After all, if you break a bone or two, they'll grow back. If you don't jump, though, you won't have the satisfaction of feeling the wind in your face and the adrenaline in your veins.
And that is what life's all about.
