Happy one year anniversary! Omg yes, we've been here for a year now! Also, this challenge has a nice round number! I love it!
It's been a great, fun year, and I hope that this comm has been helping you establish a good writing habit. I've wrangled the tags to get them up to date, so look off on the right there and see how you did - how many fills you posted. For me, I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm not writing as often as I used to, but wow, 83 fills! That's more than I expected over the year.
How's it been for you? Did you do more than you expected, like I did? Has your writing improved with the practice? Have you made progress towards your writing goals (whatever they might be)? Are you ready for the next year of writing ten minutes a day?
I'd also like to point out that, though we only have three active contributors, there are a total of 19 members in this comm - we have an audience! (I'm thinking of pimping the comm, maybe on fandom_on_dw.)
Today's challenge: Remember that thing you posted - you know the one - where you put it up and then two days later, you thought, "Aw man, I shoulda used these characters instead!" or "If I'd had them do this it would have been awesome!" or "That would have been way better if I'd written it first-person!" or whatever? Well, now's your chance - go back and do it! Rewrite a few paragraphs of something you haven't looked at for at least two months, using your new ideas or things you've learned in the past year. I recommend writing it fresh and see what comes out, rather than editing what's already there.
