Learning from a challenge
PROMPT May 30th
Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition?
The most rewarding aspect is that I learned from this experience. For one thing, I realized I do like having Sundays as optional blogging as opposed to mandatory. I hadn’t realized how much I like have that more relaxed day until now.
I learned some things about blogging. For example, I learned you can write more than you think you can on a prompt if you put your mind to it. I noticed people who were able to write more than me in this competition. I know they probably scored more points than I did. However, I still won from this on my takeaway. I learned from reading the blog entries of others. Even if you don't like a prompt, you can write about why you don't like it. Of course, the ones you like and can most relate to are the ones which you can write more about.
I know that if I enter this contest again in the future, I can do a little better just from having this original experience. I will admit I struggled a few days this month. I wasn't feeling good some days. Some days, I was honestly struggling with depression and grief. There were a couple of prompts that struck a nerve and I really didn't want to write about it. I pushed myself and wrote anyway even if it was just a line or two. There were some days I was pressed for time.
I am glad I participated in this win or lose because I learned from it. That in itself is valuable.
I think the prompt I liked best was the one about living through historical events. I have lived through a couple of those. 😉 The best part of living through historical events is surviving them. Lol 🤷♀️
