You Challenge Me, I Challenge You! (Patreon)

Is it too early to be thinking about 2023? Maybe. But we're gonna do it anyways, because I had a brilliant beyond brilliant idea for a new series!

I absolutely adore our current monthly writing experiments, from the cozy and chill to the chaotic and crazy, and those won't be going away! In fact, there's only one part about them I don't like: That I have to do them alone.

But what if we changed that??

Starting in December of this year or January of next year, I want to do 1 writing experiment a month(ish) with one of y'all!!

My goal is to highlight my collaborator (including, hopefully, having them in my video somehow!) and whatever they have going on (a new book, a new YouTube channel, their cover design business, etc.) and introduce another perspective on these weird challenges.

How I envision this working:

If you're interested, you can fill out this form. It'll ask you about your idea for the writing experiment (that you'd also be willing to do), as well as some extra contact info.

About once a month, I'll go through the list and reach out to someone to schedule time for us BOTH to do their experiment. Then we'll each post about how our time went!!

(And the writing experiment doesn't have to be crazy! It can be chill and cozy instead, like trying to handwrite 1 scene each day for a week or whatever. Or make it as chaotic as you're willing, like a 24-hour writeathon. 😈)

Your version of participating/posting can be:

• making your own vlog and posting it up on your channel,
• writing a blogpost about your experience,
• saving your instagram stories from the experiment as a story highlight,
• making a TikTok,
• WHATEVER SPEAKS TO YOU.

Really I just want something permanent (as permanent as the internet can be, lol) that I can point the audience to so that they can see someone else doing the crazy experiment and so that they have a way to find you and whatever work you've put out. :)

As for your involvement in my video, I'd love to have you in it as much as you feel comfortable! If it's just a 10-second video of you throwing out the challenge prompt, that works! If we do a whole 30-minute livechat post-experiment, I'll cut and paste that into the video too. Whatever works for me; I've just found that people are more invested in "guest" presences in videos when they get to see the person moving and speaking and interacting. :) 

TL;DR: If you're willing to throw down the gauntlet, you gotta do it with me! (So choose your challenge accordingly lolol.) And be prepared to post somewhere about your experience doing that challenge!

And here's the link again to "sign up"! 

Thanks everyone and hope you've had an INCREDIBLE October! 🎃
