Snowflake challenge 2018, day 1

[frayadjacent]

I've decided to give 2018 snowflake_challenge a go!

Day 1

In your own space, talk about why you're participating in Snowflake and, if you’ve participated in the past, how the challenge has affected you. What drew you to it? What did you take away from it? What do you hope to accomplish this year? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I apparently only attempted the challenge once before, January 2014. I made one post! /o\

But I like other people's posts, and I sincerely want to get back in the habit of posting and checking Dreamwidth regularly. I let my paid account lapse last October because I just wasn't using DW any more, except to post vids. But I like and miss people who are still active here, so I'm going to try to be more active as well. If I manage it I will reward myself by upgrading to a paid account again. So, well, I have a few things I hope to accomplish in 2018, and more time on DW is definitely one of them.

I didn't do the snowflake challenge, but I'm all onboard for more DW posting - it's something I'd like to do as well. Other fannish platforms don't really work so well for me - twitter comes close, but it's one of those things were you can miss a conversation if you aren't around when it happens.

Same. Also twitter is bad for my grasshopper brain. I find if I'm on twitter (or facebook, or reddit, or any other scrolly social media site) that it makes it much harder for me to focus.
