owlmoose | Snowflake Challenge Day 15: Reflections

Day 15: Talk about why you participated in Snowflake &/or what you got out of it.

I participated in

snowflake_challenge for two main reasons. First, given the recent Dreamwidth renaissance, I wanted to get more connected to people and communities here, and this challenge seemed like a good opportunity. Second, posting to this journal more often is a significant goal of mine this year. Participating in Snowflake seemed a good way to begin as I meant to go on.

Only time will tell if I'm successful in my second objective (although I'm pretty proud that I posted on more than half of the days of the challenge), but I feel confident in saying that the first one was a win. I had the opportunity to interact with many folks I'd never met before, and I look forward to meeting even more in the upcoming friending meme. I got out of my comfort zone a little bit, and also made some practical updates that came directly from challenges (updated my friending policy and my transformative works statement).

Thanks to the Snowflake mods for creating a great challenge, and I hope to participate again in 2020. :)
