Snowflake Challenge: Challenge #9 and #15

Happy Laa'l Breeshey, to those who celebrate it. Let's wrap up the rest of Snowflake this year.

Challenge #9

In your own space, brag about yourself. Tell us what things you've done that you're proud of; the things that make you the wonderful person you are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I finished all 15 Snowflake challenges this year, which is a first for me!

And I also made good progress on these goals from Challenge #4:

• Read at least 100 books cover-to-cover: I've read 12 as of January 31st.
• Read three books for each new one I acquire: I'm at a 6:1 ratio right now, so doing quite well.
• See how many of these 50 never read, in progress, or to-be-reread books I'll finish this year: I've read nine, so I'm almost 20 percent of the way there.
• Strength train at least once a week: so far, so good.
• Take a 3 to 5 mile walk most days of the week: so far, so good here too.
• Post at least one piece of fiction to AO3 a month: January fic completed (bonus fill for Snowflake Challenge #11 here.

And for Challenge #8, the wishlist, I wished for a Blake & Avery sync read, and it's happening! Details here.


Challenge #15

I haven't missed a Snowflake Challenge since I first started participating (which was back in 2016? I think?), and this year was no exception. I really liked the once every other day format because I always try to do all the challenges every year, but the second and third weeks of January are always really busy for me so I usually fall behind where I'd like to be. Spreading the challenges out over a longer period made it easier to participate more frequently, both in terms of doing the challenges myself and checking out other people's fills. Anyway, I liked the mix of traditional and new challenges this time around, and just generally enjoyed the experience.
