Challenge of the Week CCXXIV
You've checked out, had enough, are unplugging for a year, and heading off into a nice place in the woods with enough supplies to write the novel you've always wanted to, and to be alone. You've decided to email yourself a paragraph to copy/paste for all the texts you're about to send to your people before you drive off. What do you say? 25 dollars to the top recluse. Winner will be judged by likes.

to whom it may concern,

i have decided to take a short, 365 day vacation during which i will not be responding to any and all texts, emails, facebook messages, tiktok DMs, phone calls, et cetera. now, i know what you’re thinking— “oh my god, they finally had that psychotic break we’ve all been waiting for”, which is a fair judgement, but presently untrue. i also know what your second thought is— “wait, is this just a cleverly disguised suicide note?” which, again, fair, but no. i simply decided that it was about time that i got ahead on a few creative projects— that DnD campaign, that graphic novel, crochet, all that good stuff.

i understand this may be confusing. most people who talk about running away into the woods are simply daydreaming, but not i. this is one hundred percent my actual real-life plan for the next 52 weeks.

feel free to write a letter, or even stop by if you feel so inclined. perhaps i’ll leave a little riddle for you to solve and figure out my address. by the time you do, i should be about halfway through my first novel. i would love to share my progress when you arrive.

to keep this message short and sweet (maybe more sweet than short), i’ll leave you with all the well wishes i would normally send throughout the year. please space them out accordingly.
