Snowflake Challenge Day 12

Day 12 - In your own space, create your own challenge.

Well, what can I say, I love challenges but they don’t like me. I run a community that offers monthly word challenges throughout the year.

I’ve wanted to take part in more big bang challenges and reserve challenges, but the issue I face as a writer is the assigned word count.

I would love to create a challenge that must include a supernatural creature into the fic and artwork. I would love for it to be a big bang challenge without an assigned word count. Not that 20K words are hard to reach or anything, but as someone who is very anxious over word count it can be a challenge to reach. The challenge would have artist and writer sign-ups for a month, writers have 4 months to work on the fic, then have claims for a weekend, the artist will have two months to work. Pairs will then pick a date when to post at the 7th-month mark. Posting will happen from 7th month to 9th month. This will give artists time to create and writers to finalize their final draft with a beta.

My plan for this year is to try and have a fully plotted fic before I sign up for a challenge. I just know last year I barely got to write, but I love the whole interaction with an artist thing, so yeah... if I know what I want to write, and I have it plotted, I figure it takes some the stress out of it!

I remember my Gabriel bb I dropped out one year, and posted the next and I was happy with that story so I just want more of that - the happy with the stories feeling :)

I wish you the best on completing your plan this year. That's a good idea to have it plotted and written out before a challenge. I hope it helps with the stress!!

And I hope you have plenty of happy feelings with stories this year!!
