You know the ones I mean; that idea that you were so excited about at first, but that gradually shrank into nothing as more and more obstacles or issues got in the way. You just didn’t know how to make it work and you gave it up for dead. Well now is the time to revive it with the help of some fresh perspectives!

Detail what it was, what you liked and disliked about it how far you had gotten with it, where you had hoped to go with it, any obstacles that prevented you from progressing and why you gave up on it. Make your map as colourful and expansive as...
