Outside the week leading up to Easter (Or Passover), which I know many folks would be too busy on average to do a challenge, no one found earlier challenges well before either holiday in their reach given the comments of the first being all in the vein of "Sorry, no time this week" and the second having no takers at all. (My family's not into togetherness, to put it gently) so my ability to perceive that in more connected families is not all that great.
I started to feel like no one found my first couple challenges achievable or relevant.
So, until I get enough reader mail to prove the contrary, I'm keeping my challenges really simple, and whenever possible, don't require the reader to leave the blog to complete them. Though, I thought people could do the last challenge easy (All you had to do was recommend 5 books, that's all there was to it!)
I strongly suspect the majority of my readership are women, and often mothers, so ladies, and lads too, help me out here. This week's challenge is the first every "Take Requests Tuesday."
What are some writer challenges that you can fit around family, day jobs, and seemingly endless responsibilities. I don't have these specific barriers, so maybe my challenges ask too much of the majority of the writers who drop by, and I only wanted to motivate, NOT overwhelm.
Just tell me in the comments below, what kind of challenges you'd like to see featured on future editions of Take A Chance Tuesday. They must be something that aren't too genre specific, and that can be accomplished within a week from the start of the challenge.
Come on, everyone, T.A.A. can only be so interactive unless you help me out a bit, so come on, show some grit and gumption. Most of us are living Spring, the time of renewal and growth, T.A.A. can't grow if I'm in this alone.
So again, in the comments below, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHARE SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE EDITIONS OF TAKE A CHANCE TUESDAY, THAT ARE SIMPLE, NOT TIED TO ANY ONE GENRE, AND PEOPLE CAN ACCOMPLISH WITHIN A WEEK, AND DOESN'T ASK FOR ANY SPECIAL RESEARCH OR LENGTHY TIME COMMITMENT.
PLEASE, help me. help you better.
I'm thinking this is what you want:
ReplyDeleteA writer challenge that I find helps me with my writing is to take notes all day long. Even if it's on the scrap of paper a co-worker is throwing away. Even if it's on the back of a recall postcard. Take notes. Listen to your muse talking, whispering dialogue into your brain. Take notes. About anything. About everything. Just, take notes!
(Oh, and bummer! I think I missed the challenge where you had to recommend five books. You're right. I could have done that EASY! I could recommend books all day. :) I'll try to be more aware of this feature, 'cause I think it's got a good chance of success. I hope the above reply is what you were looking for.)
Yes! That's EXACTLY what I was talking about. Suggestions for future challenges. Thank you, Cat, I hope more suggestions will come in. I'm not the best with notes, so it would help me.
