Give me an assignment.

So here's the thing: I don't really write anymore. Other than a short combiflat, I haven't written a puzzle in ages. Nor do I get to write much at my job just at the moment; we're in a planning stage, so I do lots of charts and lists and things, but not much writing. And I haven't written anything creative in forever.
I seem to be incapable of motivating myself to do this. Apparently I can only produce things on deadline.
So I'm asking you, my LJ readers, for an assignment and a deadline. Here are the rules:
1. Assign me a writing project. [ETA: Or puzzle construction project.] Give me a deadline. (State the deadline in a number of days or weeks or whatever, rather than a specific day, since it'll be a day or two before I start, as you'll see.)
2. I'll pick one assignment and start on it, and report when I finish. I'll share the product unless the assignor doesn't want me to. (And if you want to assign me something you'd actually pay me for and use, that's fine too. :) )
3. When I finish, I'll pick another assignment and start that. And so on.
Some guidelines:

Some guidelines:
- Make the deadline not too generous, but reasonable. Remember that I have a full-time job and three rehearsals a week. I'm not looking for NaNoWriMo-level here. :)
- I suck at fiction. I am therefore more likely to accept an assignment that involves nonfiction, puzzles, or possibly poetry.
- I don't mind doing research.
Have at it!
