Well, more like friendly competition, because it encourages me to write more and that's always good. I like a challenge. It's so easy to write just one drabble and think 'That's another challenge over with'. You're helping keep my word count up for this year. I doubt I'll beat last year's total, but every little bit helps.
Writing is WAY better than therapy. I don't get out much for health reasons, so writing keeps my mind occupied and distracts me from gloomy thoughts. Plus, I get to interact with other people who like to write, which is always good.
Contest Week is just wild. I came first on my first time, but only third the second time even though I wrote more fics! The winner wrote over 60! It's a blast, but because it's on dreamwidth and not LJ, there are fewer people there leaving prompts I can use. I have to fill my own prompts sometimes! Don't forget to sign up with ffw_social on dreamwidth is you can. I'm a co-mod there and it's my turn to make the chat post. Still haven't finished that but I should get it up later today. I hope.
