Chuck Wendig Challenge: Random Sentence

This Week's Challenge

So, my random sentence for this challenge is: Should the mum divert the drill?

And now I have 1,000 words to play with, and a deadline of 15 March 2013.

The Why behind the Challenge

So, why, when time is so short, am I back to undertaking these challenges again?

• Because I miss them;
• Because I can;
• Because they're fun;
• Because they challenge me to try something different;
• Because, when I was going through the work published last year, the pieces created for the Wendig challenges were amongst the better pieces produced;
• Because I get to see how others tackle the problem and learn from them;
• Because I get to hang, even if it's only virtually, with a bunch of other writers; 
• Because, with a little time management and prioritization, they're achievable within the timeframe set;
• And because the challenges make me write, and complete, something every week.

Seriously, as a tool for actively working to develop your craft, these challenges, or something very similar, are a good way to start. I'd recommend giving them a go. And for those of you who have trouble completing what you start, or need practice meeting deadlines, well, here's one way to practice.
