Let's write!

Do you know what today is? It's the six-month anniversary (monthaversary?) of this community! Six months ago, on January 6, 2022, we opened this community and posted the very first challenge. We're still here, going strong, with 76 challenges under our belt!

Take a look at all you've accomplished. Click on your author tag on the right side (I've tag-wrangled the entire site to make sure it's all consistent) to see everything you've written here. How are you doing? Have you been writing more consistently than you had been before? (For me, yes; I hadn't been consistent at all since the start of the pandemic, but I'm currently totally slacking.) Have you written more than you expected you might in a six-month time frame? (Again, yes, though except for January, I haven't produced much completed work.) Have you learned anything and is your writing improving? (Not sure. I probably haven't improved.) Have you accomplished any writing goals? (I did back in January -- it was to post at least four completed stories, which I did [actually five], but I haven't had any real goals since.)

Take today's challenge to celebrate all your hard work! Write a scene where one character compliments another. It should be heartfelt (not a scene where someone gives a compliment grudgingly or sarcastically), and you should picture yourself being the target of the compliment, because you deserve it! Here's to the next six months!
