Second Chance Challenges discussion

DECEMBER CHALLENGE CLEAN-UP
Date: 12/01/19 - 12/31/19



This is something new I'm starting here in the SCC group. It is a kind of like a read-a-thon...with a twist. The goal is to help us complete a difficult challenge - or one that has been lingering for a while :)

To Start: You will need to pick a specific "target" to work on...a challenge that is proving difficult to finish, a challenge that needs just a few books to complete....any reading challenge you've been working on for some time, but haven't been able to finish.

Next: Post your specific target or goal below, and you are ready to get started.

The Twist: If this target or goal isn't completed during the month of December, you will have to "carry it over" into January. Don't worry....if you choose something that proves impossible, you can "scratch" it (remove it from your list) and move on to the next challenge you need to finish.

If you post a challenge as completed, you are welcome to share the link with us :)
