So trying to decide where to host a month-long writing challenge has been… challenging.
I kept going back and forth about hosting it on Twitch or Instagram or something else, before I realized that getting my followers’ opinions would be far more valuable.
So I ran a short poll on Twitter, but ended up coming up as a tie.
I ran another poll on my Instagram Stories and got zero responses.
Which might have been disheartening, if it wasn’t the first Instagram poll I had ever done, and I didn’t really understand what I was doing.
(I ended up posting a screenshot to my feed, that’s how messed up things got.)
Then I ran another poll on twitter. I made sure it would last multiple days, and would tie into my efforts to find new writer friends during #writerslift and #ShamelessSelfpromotionSaturday
And with that, I’ve got my platform.
I’m going to do a test run this Tuesday, and we’ll start the challenge proper on Wednesday, October 1st.
And just in case people are simply skimming to see when this all is taking place:
