Well, I'm not planning to do anything fancy with it, as I'm still trying to continue progress on "An Outsider and a Foreigner" at my normal (abysmally slow) rate, in addition to writing these. I'm simply attempting to write vignettes from the book I'm currently reading, and keeping that up daily for a month will be quite sufficient challenge in itself.
It takes a couple of hours, on and off, to get each one working (and even then I realised at about 3am last night that in the course of editing I'd managed to duplicate the phrase "from time to time" without substituting for the earlier occurrence!) That's about the timescale people are recommended to adopt for their daily word-vomit exercise in novel writing, so the challenge is equal, along with the overall commitment issue. It's just that the nature of the effort required is more suited to my tendencies as a writer.
(At the moment I'm also trying to keep the drabbles in chronological order, but I think that may be impractical over thirty days without having done any planning -- I'm just looking up each day's prompt as it comes!)
