Challenge Me!

[katiefoolery]

I'm still buoyed up by this rush of excitement about my writing, not to mention feeling incredibly virtuous for having spent the last hour or so cleaning up the house.  So, as I said to the mess on the kitchen table as I cleaned it: why not take advantage of these feelings of achievement and self-faith (as opposed to my more accustomed self-doubt)?

starlingthefool posted a lovely piece of writing this morning, inspired by a challenge community.  This, in turn, inspired me and I went in search of more and more challenge communities.  There are so many!  How do you choose from amongst such an embarrasse des riches?

This is where my dear friends list comes in handy (and anyone else who might be lurking around out there).  Do you have a favourite writing challenge community on LJ?  If so, please point me in its direction.  I have a feeling that if I start challenging myself in my writing on a more regular basis, I will become a far better writer indeed.

Please share.  Even if it's just a community you watch.  Fanfic, original fic, drabbles, anything!  I long for a good challenge or two!

I like this one, 7_virtues, along with the others already mentioned. I've also done 1character, 1sentence and 1fandom. Those were fun because you only get 1 sentence per prompt. Also there is 5sentence_fics. :)

Thank-you so much!

Every time I have a look at the profile pages of these communities, there are dozens of links to others, too! It never ends. It's going to take me a while to work out which challenges appeal to me the most at this rate. :)
