How'd Your Challenge Go?

I always enjoy the snowflake challenge. :) This year, I did fall behind, because I missed a few days because of staying up too late playing video games during the tail end of the Legion Remix. Last year I tried not to skip any, but I ended up only doing like half of them. This time I looked at what I knew I could sit down and give a good one or two paragraphs to right that moment and then just. Did those, when I could. And I skipped the ones where I didn't have a good idea or it needed more time than I had. And...you know??? I think it worked out pretty well. I'm doing this one only a couple days past its posting (aw yiss). And I don't feel like I'm behind.

Last year I just...wrote SO much for the first two or three things and then burnt myself out for the rest of the challenge. This year I made a concerted effort not to do that. These are nibbles, more-or-less focused on one idea.

I do plan to go back and do the...three I skipped? /checks list. Sweet. Three. The 'fandom promo/primer' one I already have written, I'm just selecting the fics I would rec to a newbie. I've been granting wishes since the granting wish challenge went up, so I'm not......actually sure how to do that one. I might just skip it and grant wishes silently. I don't actually like keeping track when I'm just noodling around being social. The hardest one for me this whole time has been this Big Mood (Board) thing where you post up three things in a...hrm. /ponders. So I've DONE that before, lol lol. I have a whole little shrine of references for Jingyi, because I rped him for a while in dwrp. But I could not for the life of me think of just one thing/character/etc. that I could do that for that wasn't one I'd already made at least one music playlist for. So I'm still stuck on that one. I'll have to think about it.

Anyways, I'm very pleased! I'm hoping to keep up posting, a bit. I honestly just forget to post, which is why I like the little prompts and the low pressure. I'll definitely be doing the summer one, and try and post stuff up for the GYWO challenges during the year. And I really do want to involve myself with DW community stuff, it's just enough of a change in my social media use that I need to adjust to new habits. So, we'll see how that ends up going.

Either way! <3<3
