LIKE YOUR TEACHER SAID – PLEASE READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE BEFORE STARTING THE CHALLENGE
Project Positivity – Challenge 1
Well, we only announced our Project less than 48 hours ago and we already have several whales, witnesses and valued members of the community who agreed to support #Project-Positivity by following @positivity in order to vote/resteeming the posts they like. I love that. First and foremost, I’d like to thank them for joining us because without them, we wouldn’t have a Project!
Thank you to:
• @kushed
• @steemed
• @smooth
• @Jesta
• @anyx
If anymore want to join us, please, feel free!!
Anyone can support or join this project by simply following #positivity and we also have a new steemit.chat channel at #project-positivity, please seek us out and join us. We’ll be looking for fresh ideas and new content regularly, so come in and have your wicked way with us.
Ok, now down to the nitty gritty.
Challenge 1 – Tuesday 27th September – Sunday 2nd October
As a writer it’s always positive to learn how to internalise your thoughts and feelings. This is good for many reasons, especially when planning to create or describe an experience. If you are able to describe clearly how a certain situation would make you feel at the time, in depth, then this broadens the emotions that your readers will have.
We plan for you to create this scenario.
This week, starting today, the 27th September and running until Sunday 2nd October we will be resteeming twice daily, or more, articles about a personal boundary that you have overcame and reflected upon and came to a positive outcome.
Please note: These can be as low key as a story about how you overcame your fear of leaving your house, or as outlandish as the time your entire life flashed across your eyes in a near death wing-suit accident.
We are looking for writing excellence, you will not be judged on how crazy your story is. But it’s always exciting to hear a death defying story – don’t let us stop you!
There will also be tips and tricks from us on how to connect with the challenge and write on a better level tomorrow from @honeyscribe. And, if you want to start sharing and exchanging straight away you can join #writing-exchange on steemit chat
Challenge at a glance:
• 1 non-fiction personal story on overcoming something.
• We resteem twice daily, or more
Rules – Please read carefully:
• Although the steem, steemit categories has great personal depth, please try to avoid writing in these categories. We want to hear how awesome YOU are, and not steemit.
• Please, only 1 post per user, per week – we’d like to cure world hunger straight away, but we also need to recognise this project is in very early stages of development. So our reach is limited as of now. We plan for much more later.
• Remember the theme ‘Positivity’ your post MUST have a positive outcome, and it MUST be something you’ve learned. Personal reflection is key.
• Anything written negatively won’t be considered, neither will hate, trolling, abuse or any of the go to norms for people that like to disrupt internet communities.
• Please remember and use the tag positivity at the bottom where tags should go! Thank you.
hmm... if you upvote my comment, it will definitely have a positive outcome

You know what, @jamtaylor - bleak writing is absolutely the best because you can always turn it around in the end and share a lesson from that dark experience. I can't wait to read it.

I am so glad to see so many big guns supporting this project! It's wonderful to see how fast you guys are launching this and it really gives people at least one quality post they can write about each week. There should be no more bellyaching about writer's block! :)

It really is amazing to see it come together this way. I have experience curating/creating all sorts of things, but this one has been the most powerful, quickest response in terms of ground-up (or whale-down) positive engagement.
