Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

- Pablo, I think I'm getting stuck in a rut. Every day is exactly the same.
- Calm down! What's wrong with you?
- I get up, I work and I sleep. That's all.
- I advise you to do something crazy this weekend. For example, dye your hair pink.
- Are you serious? I'm not going to dye my hair!
- Then sign up for a salsa class! You have to get out of your comfort zone.
- Okay, but I'd prefer something quieter.
- Then change your route to work every Monday. Try a new restaurant or learn a new hobby.
- You're right. I'm going to do something different.
- That's it! Life is too short to be bored.

Getting that for you now...
