This is the tumblr companion to our blog DaringDiscourse, where my sister and I give each other writing challenges once a week.

We created this to fill you in on what goes on between challenges with photos, music, things that inspire us, mindless rants, our processes, etc.



“Things won’t change until we do.” 

I chose lyrics from LOL Boys ‘Changes‘ for this week’s challenge. It’s a great song and a hilariously awesome video. Go watch it!

Challenge 72: Well, here we go kids. Alexa and I have been contemplating this next step for a while, so I decided for my dear…

“Here we go back, this is the moment…” 

“…Tonight is the night, we’ll fight ’til it’s over. So we put our hands up like the ceiling can’t hold us.” It’s Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ ‘Can’t Hold Us‘ (feat. Ray Dalton) taking the place of our title today, because I’m obsessed with that song and I’ve…

“I hope you had the time of your life” 

“Good Riddance” by Green Day may not be the most ideal graduation song, but I think that any song means what the listener portrays it as. I think this song sums up a lot of the feelings that graduation brings. It reminds us that what happened in the past…

“Lovin’, is what I got” 

…”I said remember that”. SUBLIME. I listened to them a lot today. This is from their song “What I Got”.

Challenge 70: I’ve always been intrigued by short form stories; I love that one sentence or even just a few words can speak so much to our emotions or…

“When Rome’s in ruins, we are the lions, free of the coliseums.” 

Fall Out Boy’s ‘Young Volcanoes‘ has been on repeat ever since it came out (last week?). I found it fitting because in a way, songs are a type of short story as well.

“There’s a time and a place to die but this ain’t it.” 

Paramore’s new single ‘Now‘ offers its lyrics for the title today. I’ve always loved Paramore and I’m just now getting into their new album, which I’m really enjoying.

Challenge 69: Have you shared your bucket list with us? Share what you would like to…

“If I had a million dollars…” 

Man, The Barenaked Ladies are awesome. Title today is from their song, obviously, “If I had  a Million Dollars”. All bucket lists come with the notion that money is not an object…

“I always hear ‘punch me in the face’ when you’re speaking, but it’s usually subtext.” 

Quote is from BBC Sherlock, A Scandal in Belgravia this time. Because I can. I will ALWAYS use one when I have the chance. Sorry I’m not sorry.

“It’s a three patch problem.” 

I’ve had the most amazing weekend of my life in Atlanta. Doing what, you ask? Well, it was my first convention. 221B Con – A Sherlock Holmes convention. I’ve spent the past three days dressed as Sherlock Holmes, quoting my favorite adaptations, and making…

“Give me one reason to stay here…” 

Today’s title is completely random, I must admit. Today on our way home from dinner, Tracy Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason” was on. Revisit this song… that girl has soul.

Challenge 67: My challenge this week got me thinking… I LOVE product reviews. I want…

“Hey na na she’s a money maker…” 

Well, I was just listening to the Black Keys so I went for it. Lyrics from Money Maker make up our title today. Slightly appropriate, I would say.

“Yo, could I get a cold beverage?” 

So… I started googling “songs about food” and nearly went with ‘Cherry Pie’ until I saw G. Love & Special Sauce. I remember listening to G. Love when I was younger and maaannn… I don’t know if all of the food talk was a euphemism for something else, but I…

You know those songs that make you feel totally empowered (I’m talking to you, ladies)? This is one of those songs… “Just A Girl” by No Doubt.
