2013 Creative Pay It Forward Gone Viral?

There's a creative challenge making its way through social networking sites that's getting some attention. Have you seen it?

---

2013 Creative Pay-It-Forward: The first five people to comment on this status will receive from me, sometime in the next calendar year, a gift - perhaps a book, or baked goods, or a candle, music - a surprise! There will likely be no warning and it will happen whenever the mood strikes me. The catch? Those five people must make the same offer in their FB status!

This and Facebook status updates like it have been challenging the community to get the creative gears turning in a fun exchange that stands to be a great time. Creative pay it forward groups are sprouting up too. But how successful will the effort be? Will only those who already write and/or bake, and/or sow or engage in whatever creative endeavour take part? How keen will those who aren't the 'creative type'  be in stepping out of their comfort zone to tap the creativity we all possess? How apt will people be to play into getting an interesting creative treat from someone and have others accept the challenge from them? It's a great idea, but will it work?

Take the above quote and paste it into the status of whichever social networking system you use to see for yourself! Have fun with it!
