Snowflake Challenge #7

Still trying to catch up...

Challenge #7

LIST THREE (or more) THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF. They don’t have to be your favorite things, just things that you think are good.

1. I leave pretty good comments for people. I try to apply the principle that they could be having a very drab, sucky day. This feels even more valuable to the world with scam and bot comments everywhere.

2. I write fairly well. Not in a timely fashion, or as a great wordsmith, but I don't quit when it's difficult, or phone it in. Whatever I write is always done to the best of my ability, I take pride in it, and I always work toward finishing projects. Eventually.

3. While I am not the greatest at plotting, I am quite good (knock wood) at navigating out of the blind corners and logical implosions I find myself in and fixing my blunders before they reach the public. Sometimes I even discover places to retroactively apply foreshadowing! That's always handy.

Comments

For myself, I will be continuing Snowflake for weeks, if not months, after it officially concludes. ;-) Never catching up, but forging on!

Yes, you do leave good comments, and yay for good comments! "Letters of comment," as they used to be called when I was a baby fan, do such wonderful things when they engage with what they're commenting on and with the shared love of the underlying canon. They encourage the author to keep writing, perhaps providing insights that will help the writer keep doing what works well and dodge what doesn't, and also build the community for both the commenter and the receiver.

You definitely do leave excellent comments, I'm always excited to see them! ❤️

That's definitely a super handy skill to have, working your way out of a plot corner or dead end. Finding yourself in one can be frustrating. I bet that's always satisfying, too, plotting your way out of something like that.

(And you do, in fact, write excellently!)
