Fandom Snowflake Challenge Day 14

Day 14

In your own space, create your own challenge. Whatever your challenge is, and have fun with it!

I've had such a great time these last two weeks and I don't want it to end. ♥ I've loved peeking into everyone's lives and reading a bit about them. I've learned and been reminded of so much. And yet, I still feel like there were so many things happening on everyone's journals that I missed out on.

I just want to bundle you all up and take you with me into the world this year. I want to read your journals and hear your thoughts on things, I want to interact with you here on my journal, share my thoughts or squees.

Last year had been a tough one and there were so many of it that would have been better if I had stayed engaged from last year's Fandom Snowflake Challenge. But, what I've learned--or relearned--is that communication takes two. The people who have a lot of interactions are the people who are here adding to the conversation, not just dropping their things and not sticking around to see who else is about. Like when you ask someone how their day was and they tell you all about it and then don't ask (or seem to care) how your day was. I'm not a fan of that, and yet I've been doing it for years now. I'm sorry.

So, here's my challenge to myself.

1. I will not post anything new until I've responded to comments in the last thing I posted.

I went through a lot of my posts (nostalgia reasons) and was horrified to how many comments I never responded to. :( How can I expect people to take the time to respond to things I post if I don't acknowledge them or their effort?

2. I will find excuses to be here regularly.

Sometimes I just don't have anything to say. But, I'll try to stay engaged anyway. Maybe I'll have people give me blog type subjects I could write about, or maybe I'll just throw some pictures or links of random shenanigans. Maybe do some memes and whatnot. Who knows.

3. I'm going to turn on notifications to people I interact with on the regular.

I want to be here more, reading more. Sometimes though, well... life. However, I want to make sure I don't let people fall through the cracks just because I'm being lazy or anti-social.

So that's my challenge to myself. Take this feeling (and all of you willing to join me) into the year for as long as I can. See how this positivity works for me on the regular. ♥♥

Every year for the past 3 years, I've been promising myself I will 'come back' to Dreamwidth properly. Like you, the Snowflake Challenge has been great for getting me started, and I definitely intend to try the talking thing a bit more.

In the spirit of talking to more people, I've added you to my Circle :)

[tjs_whatnot]

ME TOO! Every year! Will this be the year we keep each other to our word? I'm game if you are. Circling you back (or whatever it's called). ;)
