Do you like to do challenges and exchanges? Why or why not? How do you decide which ones to do?
I like exchanges. Creating something just for a specific other person seems to get me going as a writer. I'm not so big on most other types of challenges. I have trouble meeting deadlines for those, so I don't do them. Interestingly, I've never missed a deadline for an exchange. I'm not sure what the difference is.
When I try to decide which exchanges to do, I consider whether or not I can come up with things to request. I find that harder than coming up with things to offer. I consider, too, how likely there are to be things I can write well (I once matched on a request that I couldn't do without help and had to recruit a friend to help me write the story). Sometimes, there's more than one exchange at a time that I want to do. I don't write fast enough to do more than one at a time, however, so I have to choose. Those times are always hard.
