Writing challenges? Official or non-official?

If you want to issue one, go for it, but I wouldn't make it official.

But the official did give it a sort of distinguished air.

There was one on YWS, but only one mod, so it died pretty quickly.

They should continue. I never actually participated in an offical one, but I understand the neccesity. It keeps you focused, especially if you have writer block, acompetition can provide a spark through which to light the tinder. So to speak.

I do believe they should continue.
