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!

Rather than giving you a link, I think I'm going to goink the ones people are giving you. Rest assured that if I had a link I'd give it to you, dear Bunn, however, I think writing is just what my life is missing now and since I haven't had any luck working on my own regular stories...I thank your friends. ^_^

I completely understand, believe me. I'm so excited at the prospect of all of these challenges and I hope they can inspire you too. :)
