#WritersCoffeeClub 3 - Have you ever done a writing challenge? How did it go?
I've had a successful #NaNoWriMo in 2014 but burned out from the experience. https://ljwrites.blog/posts/nanowrimo-experience/ I've also completed the first draft of the big WIP Book 1 with a #dailyWriting habit, which was more to my pace but took a lot of energy. I'd like to make creative writing/research a part of daily routine again as life settles down.
I've done contests and exchanges for #fanfic, original fic, and #poetry. A few I'm particularly proud of are two short works of #historicalFiction and an Eliza/Charlotte one-shot (Pride and Prejudice). They were good opportunities to stretch myself and produce new work such as sonnets and English-language sijo, which I wouldn't have done on my own. Fundamentally I think my best work comes from self-driven projects, but I welcome new challenges when I have room for them.
