Too many caps? Sorry. I'm echoing a weird Star Wars card game that my kid and I played in a hotel in St. Lake City once upon a time. You had to shout CHALLENGE! about something, so we did that the entire trip. Of course.

Snowflake Challenge #15: Create your own challenge!

At first I thought, oh, heck, no. Why would people want to participate in my challenge? Thankfully I read a few that others posted and, yes, you should check them all out. Go to the Snowflake page, click on the comments, follow the links. These are good, I tell ya. (List 3 things you LIKE about your body. That one we should all do on a daily basis, my friends.)

So I thought, what would I like to have someone challenge me to do? And this is it:

1. Post THAT story. The one that's been rattling around on your hard drive/google docs/dropbox FOREVER. The one you were never sure about. The one you know needs a crap-ton more work. You know what? Channel Carrie Fisher, F-em, and post the dang story. Because, you know what? We need your story! We need it! If it's your soul on the page or a weird crack-fic or OOC or whatever. It's your creation and that creation should be given life! We want to spank its bottom and welcome it to the world!

2. Write THAT story. Wherever you are, with whatever you've got at hand, do it. Bic pen. Post its. Phone. Laptop. Napkins. Notebook. Fancy journal with a fancy pen. Please jot down your notes, your snippet of dialogue. Your big honking descriptive passage. Feed your soul on the words and images. Did I mention that the world needs stories? 

3. Leave Feedback on a story. Leave a smile or a heart if you don't have words. Leave a rambling, run-on sentence burbling about what you loved. Let a writer that put herself out on a limb and did 1 and 2 know that you love the fact that they did. Talk about your favorite scene or character. 

Yep, I'm doing it myself. Gotta do it. Doing it is a good thing. We need more good things.

Thankyou, Snowflake 2020!
