#WritersCoffeeClub March 11: Do writing challenges spur on your progress?
Nope.
Before NaNoWriMo jumped the shark I sometimes used it as a "pace car", but more often than not it didn't coincide with my production cycle—if I'd just finished a novel in October I wouldn't start a fresh one in November! (Also, 50,000 words is about the least commercial length there is, in trad publishing.) I won NaNo once or twice, but purely by coincidence of timing.
As for story prompts? Nah.
