It's the night before my last first day of school (as a student). Kind of scary to think about how fast the college years have gone. But I am pretty excited to challenge myself this year through This is Not a Book, by Keri Smith. For those of you who do not know what that is, it is a book of challenges to complete. Liz Fazekas and I are going to spend the entire year completing 106 challenges. Some take only a day or so, some take a week or even a month. But I am excited to see where it takes me. Below is an note to the reader from the book detailing the journey. Get ready to embark on the journey with me! It should be fun!!
"Note to the Reader/User
You are about to embark on a journey. You have come to this page because the object you now hold in your hands has piqued your curiosity. You may not know exactly what it is, but that is precisely the point. In order to complete it you will be asked to do a number of things. Many of these things require the use of your imagination. You are welcome to alter this journey in any way you choose. You may complete the tasks in any time frame. Try things at different speeds to see how they change, using whatever materials you have on hand. If anything happens during the course of This is Not a Book that you do not like, you may go back and alter it or remove it completely. You may add things you think it might need. It is your work. There are some things you need to remember:
1. Trust your imagination. It is the source of all true journeys.
2. Things are not always what they seem.
3. Anything can happen."
