Extending a challenge
In November 2022 I did the micro∙blog November blogging challenge, to blog every day of the month. I completed the challenge and received my special achievement pin. Aside from writing a microblog of no more than 280 characters, I also added a drawing from my notebook.
The latter was so much fun, that I decided to continue the challenge—extend it—on my own. I called it my Microblogextended challenge. For all 31 days of December, I drew and wrote, even on Christmas and Boxing day, despite of day trips with my sister. I found the time to do it.
Here is the list:
- December 1: jest
- December 2: occupy
- December 3: is
- December 4: proportion
- December 5: seat
- December 6: autonomy
- December 7: hip
- December 8: squash
- December 9: fence
- December 10: average
- December 11: chimpanzee
- December 12: regular
- December 13: rocket
- December 14: attic
- December 15: split
- December 16: sticky
- December 17: lump
- December 18: brain
- December 19: dribble
- December 20: peasant
- December 21: hike
- December 22: nationalist
- December 23: fault
- December 24: forest
- December 25: plant
- December 26: chance
- December 27: defendant
- December 28: parade
- December 29: examination
- December 30: sand
- December 31: base
In the last week I decided I need another challenge to keep me going. This time it will be a pure art challenge, drawing animals from an art instructional book that is out of print. I got that book as a Christmas present.
I’m really proud of myself I finished this challenge, though humbled by the inconsistency in quality and art style. That needs to change.
