Today's task is something new that I haven't done in previous challenges, but I feel like it may be one of the more important skills to learn while doing all the other extracurricular stuff.
Step Away for Your Writing
For today's platform-building task, I want you to step away for your writing. In the comments, just type, "Gone writing," or something to that effect. Then, spend some extra time writing today.
Like the old Nike commercials, just do it. Write (and nothing else platform-related) today!
