Posting challenge: 17 posts in 2017

[magnetic_pole]

1. A very happy birthday to two extraordinary literary characters, Sherlock Holmes (January 6) and Severus Snape (January 9)!

2. I have a challenge for you: are you, like me, an infrequent poster here on LJ or DW? But do you still read your flist and enjoy the community? Pledge to post 17 times in 2017.That's only once or twice a month. Not so hard. We can all post once or twice a month even at the busiest time and keep the home fires burning throughout the upcoming year. We'll need the community and the support.

I'll do it if you will.

The fine print:

* What's the reward? If you reach 17 posts this next year and let me know in early 2018, I'll write a double drabble for you.

* What if you reach 17 posts before the end of the year? Fabulous! Keep going. That's the point, right?

17 should be easy for me, but I like having a clearly defined goal. So I'm going to mention when I hit 17 in 2017.

\o/!

I know--you shouldn't have any problem! But it will be fun to see how long it takes. M.

That's a cool idea! I need to be a little more chatty these days. :-D

T, you've not only been posting, you've been writing! *inspired* M.

17...hmm. It doesn't sound like so much when you point out it's 1-2 times a month. Ok, I will sign up!

Hi, Semi! Hope 2017 hasn't hit you as hard as...wait, who am I kidding? This year SUCKS, and I never say things like that. But if you're up for posting, I'd love to hear how you're doing. (Just the gentlest of nudges towards 17 posts in 2017, THE YEAR FROM HELL.) *hugs* M.

I like this idea! Especially as I just did a quick count after importing everything to DW as a backup, and found I had to go back to April 2013 to reach a total of 17 posts. :(

Oh my word, S, I just dropped by your journal to make sure I hadn't missed a post...and the last time you updated was November 9. *shivers*

Just a very gentle nudge toward 17 posts in 2017, the year from hell. If you're in the mood to post, I'd love to hear how you're doing. M.
