Start As We Mean To Go On
It's the start of a New Year, a shiny new beginning full of possibilities and opportunities. Who knows what 2011 will bring? For this challenge I want you to write anything. It can be absolutely anything, poetry, prose, drama, anything you like. Write as you mean to continue. Write something truly lovely or completely awful. It's entirely up to you.

Whatever you write let it be a fresh start for you, a beautiful beginning.
