I&#39;m mildly annoyed that the challenge isn&#39;t a bit more flexible, but it&#39;s fine, the terms were clear and I knew what I was getting into, and I don&#39;t really care that much about completing challenges in general.<br/><br/>However, I hadn&#39;t realized how much that daily goal was motivating me to read. So my gripe is how, now that I&#39;m out of the running for this particular challenge, that whole portion of motivation is just gone. Unlike a goal of pages or books, where if I slack off for a while I still have reason to make up for it until the end. (Of course I still have the motivation that the books I&#39;m reading are pretty good and I&#39;m enjoying them, but that was there regardless.)<br/><br/>#books #bookstodon #reading 2025-01-20T08:25:13Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv4zhf9kk3j4fu3cpuwef8ca8u7s5rs5ey0cuf3q0pm9ql7f5vxtczyr7u045frhgaau497f2pnxwnlszwcytc7v0q8c7s494z438jkvpa5wj4hgj It&#39;d be fun to see a story where something happens to The Hulk where he gets stuck in his Hulk body but has the personality of a mild-mannered gentleman philosopher<br/><br/>Like, he&#39;s big and green, wearing a tweed jacket and smoking a pipe, leaning against the wall next to the fireplace pontificating about the ethical implications of deploying the Avengers to fight crime<br/><br/>Tony Stark, on the other side of the room, is whining about how the meetings never lasted this long with the other guy 2025-01-20T07:15:18Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0de7h2n8yc5wd4yyvj0m5mllty9xnhlfd5z7r30fkdkmq6p9k5hqzyr7u045frhgaau497f2pnxwnlszwcytc7v0q8c7s494z438jkvpa5zgs2hs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs87295h4kxrsrrh5m7tyx5xqclq6eesm5h2qqhpk75lzyjqw2sxzcj68zch'>nevent1q…8zch</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>it really is weird how words that absolutely should be friendly can come across as the complete opposite.
