Yes I have face the similiar feelings regarding some communities.

I totally agree with this. When I first began the community 31_days i was all wheeee lets go! It diverted my attention to some other projects that I shouldn't neglect. However the particular shine has weared off and I feel infinitely restless.

The whole point of improvement seem to have head down the hole of the paradox of Lewis C.'s Alice in Wonderland. In a way some of the community challenges seem repetitive and even if some of it seems like fun I feel myself drifting away.

Then I start to wonder is this the end of me? I surely hope it's one of those lay down depressive moments that I will rebound with delight and energy once again to write in several conjuncts and insane philosophical approaches to matter of human relations.

I think I feel that challenge comms are fine as long as they serve a purpose. T_M improved my writing SPEED quite a bit, which has helped in real life. However, all these 30 challenge communities don't seem to do anything. *shrugs* I've not started on 31_days though I've been a member since the start. I might do a couple themes this month, since I'm AUs really are my first love.

I've been feeling my writing skills lower lately. I guess I am going through writers block. *Flinches*

But it is good at least you get some stuff written. Yeah 31_days has AU's I'm not sure what I should do regarding those themes.
