So far, in this May challenge, you’ve written friendly, fiery, and heartfelt. Now let’s lighten it up.
Your Challenge: Write something playful, funny, or offbeat. Try a story with a twist, a pun-filled piece, or something with absurd honesty.
Or you could try writing dad jokes. Honestly, it’s harder than it looks, but when you get one, it can be funny enough to make your week.

Need a joke to lift your mood?
Q: What was the menopausal woman’s favorite food?
A: Chili
Or here’s an example of just plain weird:
“The client ghosted me. So naturally, I wrote them a haiku.”
Humor is a muscle. Stretch it. Surprise yourself.
