Challenges

[(Anonymous)]

I was looking at a few 30 Day Challenges (writing, drawing, exercise, etc) and wondering if anyone ever actually finished them or finds them helpful or fun? I've never actually participated in one because I just completely doubt my own ability to commit and remember to do it, but Idk for some reason it is appealing to me at this moment in time.

I've never done one of those before. But I have joined a land com. I used to do those more years ago, haven't in years. But I want to get some of my plot bunnies onto text, and I figured this would be a fun way.

I do virtual challenges through The Conqueror and I love it! Most of mine I choose to use exercise to count my miles but one challenge was based on reading (I decided 4 chapters = 1 mile) and another was based on good habits, like reconditioning myself to start making my bed every day again after a long depression. I had a list of goals and for every five I counted 1 mile. You can assign whatever task you want to any distance, it’s up to you how you log the miles. And the medals are so cool!

I did NaNo back before they went off the rails (though honestly I write as much in an average month or more than that)... and I've done Inktober, though it was easier to make sure I did a piece every day when I was taking art classes where I had a little free studio time to sketch most days of the week.

When and how did NaNo go off the rails? This is the first time I heard anything negative about NaNo.

DA

I think there was something before. But this year they are sponsored by LLM shit and they were absolutely deranged about people being wary of AI in a writing challenge

Re: Challenges

There have been othere weird decisions but they are allowing AI this year and their argument was something like it was classist and ableist not to allow it. Pepple are upset.

I find thirty challenges help me get started and settle on a schedule when I’m having writer’s block.

I am doing Whumptober this year and I have not been this excited about writing in about four years.

Re: Challenges

I do drawing challenges quite regularly. This year I'm going to do inktober again, but again I'm doing it with my own personal theme: all the horror movies I'm going to watch this october. I usually watch one horror movie a day during october so I'm going to draw a simple fanart for that movie a day. Nothing fancy.

I'm usually able to do the 30 days easily, but I draw every single day lately. The problem for me is following the prompts exactly, so I usually make up my own themes or change the prompts I'm really not vibing with.
The secret to do the challenges for me is not to try doing them perfectly. If I have a day off, I just doodle something for 5-10 minutes and call it a day. Not every single day requite 100% effort. It's all about building momentum and exercising the "creativity muscle" for me.

That whole last paragraph is how I am trying to approach it. I have such an issue of not being good enough or not doing it "properly" that I end up not doing it at all. I am trying to rework my self talk about that

Re: Challenges

Your last paragraph is so wholesome and such a good reminder that these challenges are supposed to be fun, not stressful. Thank you!
