100 What I Would Do Prompts (Part 2)

Alas, I've been finding myself running low on inspiration once more. Last time this happened, I created 100 What I Would Do Prompts (Part 1), and it did give me an idea during several times when I was running dry. There can only so many good prompts in a list, though, and most of those have already been used up leaving me with uninteresting or bland post ideas. Today, I'll rejuvenate that list. Let's get started!

50: What I Would Do if I was an Orc in The Lord of the Rings
49: What I Would Do if I Shared Some Random Philosophical Thoughts With You
48: What I Would Do if I Tried to do 100 Pushups (This could work as a series, as I'm never going to do 100 on my first attempt).
47: What I Would Do if I Fasted for 24 Hours
46: What I Would Do if I Didn't Speak for 24 Hours
45: What I Would Do if I had No Desert for 1 Week
44: What I Would Do if I Walked 50 000 Steps in One Day (After a brief internet search, I estimated that this would take about 8 hours of steady walking. Ouch.)
43: What I Would Do if I Planked for 10 Minutes
42: What I Would Do if I Actually Tried a New Sleep Schedule (This one is a little dubious, I know. I'd have to try it over the summer, and only for a week or so.)
41: What I Would Do if I Spent Five Minutes on a Blog Post
40: What I Would Do if I Spent Thirty Minutes on a Blog Post
39: What I Would Do if I Spent One Hour on a Blog Post
38: What I Would Do if I Spent Two Hours on a Blog Post
37: What I Would Do if I Spent Three Hours on a Blog Post (I've had the idea of progressively increasing time spent on blog posts for awhile now. I think it would be interesting to see if the quality improves with more time sent on the post, and if so, how much. The problem is that all of these time sets would have to be incorporated into different ideas, as it would be incredibly boring to write "I just started a blog post that will take me three hours to write!" Followed by, "This will be fun. Yup. I already did this a few times, you should check those posts out here. Still writing. Yup. Still writing. Only two hours fifty-five minutes to go!")
36: What I Would Do if I Spent Increasing Time Writing Blog Posts (A review of the whole experiment).
35: What I Would Do if We got a Comment (I'm telling you know, stranger, if you comment on this blog you will get a whole post dedicated to you. We're slightly desperate).
34: What I Would Do if I Reviewed Insert Anything Here. (I started my blogging career writing book reviews, and indeed still update that site infrequently. It might be fun to bring some of that over to this blog.)
33: What I Would Do If Fruits and Vegetables Tasted Like Candy and Candy Tasted Like Fruits and Vegetables
Okay, people. I'm making a quick side note here. I'm not sure that I've ever quite communicated to you just how tedious these posts are to write. My imagination has limits, and all the while writing this I know that this post is purely for myself and that none of you people will enjoy reading it! I find myself trying to stretch one idea over as many posts as possible, and then I resort to throwing in uninteresting ideas which may never be used. Ever onwards, though. This will be useful in the future.
32: What I Would Do if I Had to Spend $1 000 000 on Useless Items
31: What I Would Do if I was a Cat
30: What I Would Do if I Took a Random Internet Test (I really loved your Bizzfeed Quiz Post, Laura. Check that out HERE if you haven't seen it already.)
29: What I Would Do if This Blog had 250 Posts (for this monumental post, I really want to do something awesome. Any suggestions?)
28: What I Would Do if I Ran Away From Home (Don't get any ideas, you anarchists. I love my family. Still, this would be a good post if I was feeling particularly angsty that day.)
27: What I Would Do If I Sang in Front of my Entire School (Unfortunately, this is actually going to happen. You'll see.
26: What I Would Do if I had a Year of Unlimited Travel
25: What I Would Do if I was a Zombie During the Zombie Apocalypse
24: What I Would Do if I Could Change One Thing About Myself (We're getting personal now!)
23: What I Would Do if I Lived on the Moon
22: What I Would Do if I Analyzed my Favorite Song
21: What I Would Do if Aliens Visited Earth... Again? (Cue dramatic music)
20: What I Would Do If I was on YouTube (watch for a potentially personal post which reviews deeper origins about my love for writing. Or a post about video games and vlogs.)
19: What I Would Do If I Ranted About my Favorite YouTubers
18: What I Would Do if I Tried to Bake a Cake
17: What I Would Do if Dinosaurs Still Existed
16: What I Would Do if I was Born in the Stone Age
15: What I Would Do if I Could Destroy Anything I Wanted (because destroying things is fun,)
14: Some more England Posts! I've been slacking off in that department recently.
13; What I Would Do if I Introduced my Grandparents to you
12: What I Would Do if I Talked About Sneaky Writing (think typing under the covers. I do so much of this it really deserves it's own post!)
11: What I Would Do if there was No Such Thing as Writing
10: What I Would Do if I was Isolated from Everyone Else on the Earth
9: What I Would Do if I Could Travel Into the Future (I know I already did a similar post, but hey, I need to fill up these last few spaces!)
8: What I Would Do if I was a Fugitive (No! I'm not a criminal!)
7: What I Would Do if I Could Watch the FIFA World Cup Live
6: What I Would Do to Improve Edmonton
5: What I Would Do if I was Choosing a University (this one may not be written for a few years.)
4: What I Would Do if I Ran a Business
3: What I Would Do if I Tried to Write 500 000 Words in One Year (I actually want to try this one day. One day fairly soon... when, I don't know, but I want a long-term writing goal.)
2: What I Would Do if Another Species Challenged the Dominance of Humans
1: What I Would Do if I was an Ant

Ha! 100 posts! I'm done, I'm done! Finally I'm done! Take that, mo... never mind. I'll keep this blog clean for a while yet.
Seriously though, I'm relieved to be done with that. I'm not looking forward to doing another post where I just ramble off ideas. I'm going to promise myself that I won't do so until all of the prompts on both of these tedious lists have been used up.
Again, thanks for reading. Assuming that you actually did read all of those, of course. If you did then you are a god.
See you next time!

-Mark
