A new challenge to be defined, but probably based around a theme or subject. If you're interested in participating, please reply to thread so we can see if it's a runner  :)

Cheers

Hi John,

If you can be patient with me, then I will say that I'm in.  I have a house move to complete throughout the month of January and I'm back to work on the 4th.

Cool, so that's potentially 5 participants so far. Let's leave it open atm as I'm sure more folks will be interested 😀

Am I right in thinking that the theme is "22"? Off to work in a minute but have developed a lovely, quirky concept and the first two veres are now complete.  :)

Hi @Wicked Deeds No definite decision made but 22 does seem a popular choice. I was hoping that more people might be interested. We've got 5 so far

I'm always interested in songwriting challenges. I'm signed up for two currently. Might as well make it three.  ;D

I’d love to be in but I doubt I’ll have the time…later in the year perhaps.

I’m going to watching with interest.

@pompeyjazz,  I hope that we go with the "22"  title.  Once again, I've continued to write around this theme before going to work and am now two thirds finished.  I've cooked something up that I'm incredibly fond of.  The working title is "Robot 22". There are artists, lovers, pacifists and surfer dude's in there for good measure, including the very human tradition of laying  flowers upon graves. The theme seems to have really stirred my thought processes.  If we don't go with this title then I am grateful for the creativity that has sprung from this idea.

“22” is ok with me…should we give it another week or so in the hope that a few more come forward to join in?
