About that Apprentice Challenge list, then

I've finally made a few adjustments to account for the—in my opinion—gross oversight of the importance of research and documentation. I like this better, and creates a bit of space for the less performance-oriented among us. 

Also, in case there was any question, I am myself an apprentice, so be sure to check with your Laurel (if you have one) before embarking on any new regimen. 

PROJECT COMPLETION

• Completed a project that's been in the UFO pile for years.
• Completed a project that's been on the "ooh, one day I'll make/perform THAT" list for years. 
• Completed a project that is your most historically accurate thing to date. 
• Made/performed something new, that you've never tackled before. 
• Made/performed something using largely period techniques and materials. 
• Finished something COMPLETELY - no corners cut, no slap-dash substitutions. Something you're PROUD of. 
• Defeated a Monster - conquered a thing you've been terrified to tackle: a new discipline, a new medium, a new style. Something you've been terrified to do, but you DID it.
