Growthtober Challenge

The month of October is huge in the artists community, full of prompt lists and challenges and a flurry of excitement and creation. Often times these challenges can feel overwhelming or uninspiring and you can work yourself into burnout, which defeats the entire purpose of the challenge. I wanted desperately to enjoy the process this year rather than burn myself out and I was uninspired by the challenges I was seeing. And so, I made my own!

​

Growthtober is focused entirely on the spirit of these challenges - to push yourself and to grow. Choose something or some aspect of your work that you want to try to improve on and grow in, then just spend October practicing and experimenting. It is an open prompt list, so you can use the words that I have chosen for myself, create your own list entirely, or a mixture of the two! 

​

The rules are simple - create something based on the prompts (mine or yours) for each day using any medium. Post it with the hashtags #growthtober and #growthtober2020 and tag @dmwhisler in it to be featured on my Instagram stories.

And the last rule - have fun and enjoy growing!
