It's so great that you've written every day! I think you can be proud of that - you are SO far ahead of me, seriously.
a Guardian exchange that I didn't sign up for, in large part because I'm so uncertain about my words now and the particular format of the exchange unduly stressed me out; but I do work better on deadlines
Oh man. Same here. On the one hand, I am regretful because I do think I would have gotten more writing done with the exchange - but on the other hand, none of us really need more stress in our lives right now. So in the end, I do think that people who find this kind of challenge stressful are right to abstain. Better times will come again, and then we can subject ourselves to the challenge bears with reckless abandon. ;-)
I am still pondering what a low-stress writing challenge might look like, that we could use to motivate ourselves without stress. I think we can put something together!
And writing what you want to write is definitely always the way to go, so more power to you. The readers will do what they want, what matters is that you do what YOU want. ;-)
