RE: Reflections on the 100 Days of Poetry Project #1: Challenge Design

in #writing7 years ago

My motives to join the challenge were:

  1. Because of @nikolina
  2. To see how far I can go in such an "impossible" challenge.
  3. To meet new people.
  4. To improve.

The results were:

  1. I finished the challenge and never missed a day, even though I had the right to skip 10 days maximum. Well, sometimes I post my poem a few hours after the deadline, sometimes calling the outcome "a poem" is debatable, but I never missed a day.
  2. I made a new family: I got even closer to some people I already knew and I met new friends that I feel comfortable calling them "family".
  3. Some of my best poems ever were written during the challenge. Because of the idea that my 100 poems were written in a rush (I'm one of the 9-to-5 people, technically 7-to-6 but ya!) and that, compared to my earlier poems, only a few of them are good, I went through them trying to make a list of the ones I like, and the result was better than I expected.

So, except for @Nikolina's part, the challenge was a 10 000% success.

I still remember thinking 'Hazem has to see this!' when I first came across this challenge. I'm sure you would find about it anyway but I'm glad you found about it from me, haha!

I still don't know how you managed to write and post every single day, without skipping and for that, I'll admire you forever! :D

hehe you know "admire" is a strong word right? so is "forever" :D

I'll quote something you told me recently:

I choose my words carefully and consciously!

:)

haha sure we do :D

Hazem, honestly, you're a brave man, if you've never written poetry before, being volunteraly engaged in the commitment of writing every day, I can say just BRAVO! For me you're one of those people who face challenges with a smile on their face!

I'm glad to get to know you better through your writing and occasional discord chit-chat ))
