Roll On: The Not So Writing Challenge

Dec 17, 2016

Hey, my last entry was titled as according to this not so writing challenge. It is not really a writing challenge since the questions were meant to be answered quickly, not into an essay. But somehow, I kinda like the idea into making some of the questions into a full entry of my blog. 

The questions are meant to prompt the reader to question their current life stance. It was suppose to be this meditation thingy which you can read more here but for my sake, just treat it as some sort of writing prompt.


1. What are the things that stand between you and complete happiness?
2. What will people say at your funeral?
3. Standing at the gates of heaven, and God asks you “Why should I let you in?” What do you reply?
