“Unlock Your Hidden Creativity: How Writing Challenges Can Transform Your Inner Wordsmith”
Have you ever found yourself staring at a blank page, wondering why you can’t muster the courage to call yourself a writer? I sure did—not too long ago! Once upon a time, I had penned an obscure niche book and a handful of articles, yet the thought of identifying as a writer felt like stepping into a pair of shoes two sizes too small. Then, everything changed in May 2021 when a writing challenge flashed across my screen like a neon sign in the night. It was hosted by Medha Shri on a dynamic platform called os.me, and it dared me to write as much as I could in just five days. Toes in the water, I leaped in headfirst. In what felt like the blink of an eye, I transformed from a hesitant scribbler into a bold creator of 43 long-form articles! For anyone who craves affirmation or feels like an imposter in the creative world, my journey underscores one crucial truth: you might just need a nudge to unleash the writer within. To find out how this exhilarating challenge changed everything for me, LEARN MORE.
A writing challenge made me a writer
I was not a writer.
At least, I did not identify as one. Yes, I had authored a niche book, but that was back in 2007. Yes, I had written five articles over nine months, but that surely did not make me a writer.
In May 2021, editor-in-chief Medha Shri announced a writing challenge on the platform os.me, where I had written those five articles. The challenge was to write as many articles as possible in five days, with prizes for the top three.
I wrote 43 long-form articles in five days.
There was no looking back.
I was now a writer.
The OS.Me Writing Challenge
Os.me was a new platform for writers, focused on (but not limited to) spirituality.
I wrote a handful of articles between November 2020 and May 2021.
When Os.me editor Medha Shri announced the write-as-many-articles-as-you-can writing contest, I decided to give it a shot.
To my surprise, I kept churning one article after another. Admittedly, they were raw, but they were readable and offered value to the reader.
