snowflake challenge back on!

[0dense]

:) happy to be back! as I recall, the snowflake challenge came around right when I first landed on DW, so it's great to roll up just in time again.

icebreaker / re-introduction: Hi! I'm Odense; I'm 30something, I like writing exchanges and I LOVE the 4th wall. I've been off the rink for a bit on account of the winter holidays crush, but I'm generally working on transitions these days. My concrete new year's resolution is to apply for jobs - lol it's not a super exciting resolution, but I think I need a change!

I'm doing the snowflake challenge to try and get back in the DW habit. I love the longer-format this space still encourages, and think it's only become more valuable as the internet at large pivots towards fast consumption. (Also, something's going on with LJ getting even shakier? sad to hear. another mark for DW's significance, though) I also really appreciate DW's privacy: I really hope I start to see more familiar names port over here from hrpf, this year! like, I used to have a fic rec blog, but I've fallen out of that habit. I might try to bring that back, under DW-lock this time :)?

That's what I aim for. \o/

There will be other opportunities. My next activity will be the crowdfunding Creative Jam on Jan. 17-18 with a theme of "Memories." The next Poetry Fishbowl will be Tuesday, February 3 but we haven't picked a theme yet.

>>I'm totally on board re. more content on DW properly.<<

Yay!

>> I think there are some really great writing communities around, and this feels more like the place to tug at strings and re-work projects together.<<

Dreamwidth has many Writing communities. For reworking, you might like betaplease.
