Challenge #14
In your own space, create your own fandom challenge. Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
1. The first challenge: Use it.
Whatever that "it" might be.
Use that yarn, use that notebook, use that fancy glass at the back of the cabinet. Use it up, too. That bottle of good wine you've got saved? Pop it open. That nice tea? Drink it. Eat that fancy salt. Wear that nice hat. If you don't have a good opportunity, take whatever opportunity comes your way. Make one up if you have to. Don't let whatever "it" is take up more space in your head than it's doing by not being used.
Use it.
2. The second challenge: Give up.
Not like that. But kind of like that.
Let that thing which you've been meaning to get around to not be a thing in your life anymore. That story you thought you'd write someday. That vid you've been wanting to do. I say this as someone who put down a series and then picked it up and finished it over a decade later: if you're going to do it, you will someday.
In the meantime, until that someday comes, don't feel bad about not yet having done it. Give up.
3. I've found that if the thought of a story makes me laugh for more than 15 seconds, it's an idea worth writing.
As such, the last challenge: Find an idea that makes you laugh for more than 15 seconds, and write it.
