I think this is actually the first challenge I’ve done for my own work … ever? At least as far as I can remember?
Anyway, I took a challenge that I saw on Bluesky that I’m pretty sure was originally on Instagram and shaped it to fit my own work-in-progress, Paradiso:
- Introduce yourself & WIP (work-in-progress)
- Are your characters introverted or extroverted?
- Lies in WIP
- Free Friday or post some good fortune
- Saturday Snippet #1
- Do your characters believe in luck or fate?
- Risks in WIP
- Character quirks
- Humor in WIP
- Superstitions in WIP
- Free Friday or where & when do you prefer to write?
- Saturday Snippet #2
- What plans does your character have?
- Would your character embrace their fate or fight it?
- Birthdays in WIP
- Rumors in WIP
- Adjectives to describe WIP
- Free Friday or last, current, and next reads
- Saturday Snippet #3
- Which character has the worst luck?
- How would your characters do in the last TV show/movie you watched?
- Character’s pet peeves
- Would your character have their fortunes told?
- WIP aesthetic gifs
- Free Friday or share your hobbies
- Saturday Snippet #4
- Soundtrack for WIP
- Character phobia(s)
- Character’s accomplishments
- Monthly Wrap-Up
Saturday snippets I think were the hardest for me since I’m so protective of what I’m currently writing, but hey, it has gotta get out there sometime. Honestly, this whole challenge was a bit intimidating for me, and not just because I was taking a deep dive into my own work; some of these questions I hadn’t asked myself before, so it was a little overwhelming at times to truly examine them, no matter how silly they might have seemed at the time (I’m looking at you, birthdays).
I probably won’t do another challenge for Paradiso again (who knows, I may get an incurable itch to do so), but feel free to hop on over to the main page and peruse! I add more and more to it each day, so if it looks different from the last time you clicked over there … well, now you know why.
a little more juju
