SaintWest Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 disappointed but not surprised. aurora continues to not let anybody forget who she is and what she's capable of. congrats friend!
Aurora Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 On a more personal note, honestly one of the only things I wanted to achieve this season was a real rap #1 (I don't really count "Easy 2.0"). Let me ignore the fact that it took everyone else being forced to do rap too to get it. But it means a lot more being successful with this song than any of the other ones. I'm very thankful.

Jackson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ P H A S E 3 ROUND 9 : PICK YOUR POISON ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yes, you're probably all gonna hate this challenge, but it was designed as such! This was the first challenge I designed for this season, and I'm as excited about it as you aren't! Basically, I'll be giving you a list of 5 hard challenges. You must each pick any two of them and write a song using those restrictions. These are designed to make you rethink what it means to be a songwriter and make every single word of your song count. The restrictions are as follows: ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. no rhyming 2. no use of the letter "D" 3. no polysyllabic words 4. write a song with exactly 200 words 5. no repeated words (you get a pass on "a", "and", and "the") ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ENTRIES DUE THURSDAY AT 11:59 PM EST

Jackson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 i feel like two of these are easier than the rest but maybe that's just me
Aurora Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 when i read the list of things we have to choose from to not do when i realised i have to pick TWO of these things and not just one
Jackson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 ill just tell you now, the next round is a lot more fun so look towards the light at the end of the tunnel!
Aurora Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 in terms of most restrictive to least restrictive, just imo: 1. no polysyllabic words (this is evil, this **** just sounds boring af to read imo, a baby A-Z book "the cow goes moo" tea) 2. no use of the letter "d" (I feel like this doesn't even sound as hard as it probably would be) 3. no repeated words (considering we're allowed articles, it's not as hard as it could be… otherwise I'd put it at #2 without article repeats) 4. no rhyming (we've done this before and while challenging, it's definitely not essential for a great song and not necessarily hard to avoid) 5. write a song with exactly 200 words (if anything I feel like this could be a tool rather than a poison; short songs tend to do well, make every word count etc.) that's just my opinion tho… I have no idea what combination I'm going to do at a first glance though. Maybe one of the "easier" ones and one of the "harder" ones just to push myself tbh.

Aurora Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 wait I just realised you can't even repeat "I" or "I'm" or anything like that, this criteria alone is like a couple challenges rolled in one (the no first-person pronouns one pears made comes to mind… Enigma challenge?).

MattyTacos Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Just worked out a first draft, gonna try to edit it some & toy with other concepts and see where that leads me this week. Hopefully I can rebound before it's too late.
