Muses and Musings

I've won some - actually more than I probably realize, because it took me months to realize that when the little emblem turns blue it means your post won and I always seem to miss the original notification? But I don't actually participate in them to win. I just like them because they inspire me to keep writing things. Like little muses. I've never won any prizes either, but sometimes I skip those ones because I don't want to deal with the anxiety of winning something (yeah, stupid, I know).

*As I type this it occurs to me this is a horrible, self-centered person kind of statement, and I apologize to all the users whose Challenges I've won and didn't acknowledge gratefully -_-; I should work harder at that....
