Nothing says social media better than Creative Copy Challenge.
I have been promoting this wonderful site and community from my first day there.
I have no affiliation – I just love the place.
Crushing Excuses
Creative Copy Challenge – or CCC – as we call it – says it crushes writer’s block.
But, it is so much more.
Back in May 2010, I interviewed the creator of CCC, Shane Arthur.
- At that time, CCC had 116 writers
- There are professional and just-for-fun writers
- Today, there are 191 community members
- You wouldn’t believe some of the heavy-hitters
- CCC has plenty of lurkers, too
The community welcomes all. It is one of the most supportive communities out there.
CCC is for the writer in all of us – no excuses – try it.
A Twice A Week Addiction
Here’s how it works:
- Shane gets someone to create 10 random words or phrases
- He posts them twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays
- Writers and wannabe writers are invited to use the 10 words/phrases in a “cohesive, creative short story”
The results are some of the funniest, poignant, and most diverse writing you will find on the internet.
- Several community members started series
- One community member – Kenn Crawford – made a very funny book out of his The Saga of Bayou Billy
- Everyone is invited – it is an international community with non-writers as well as writers
Happy Centennial
So, join in the fun and wish CCC a Happy Centennial!
- Don’t be afraid to try your hand at the challenge
- There is no failure at CCC
- When you try one – go back to try others
- We warn you – it is addicting
We’ll keep the light on for you – the one to your creative soul.
Congratulations, Shane, on a great concept and a great community.

CCC deserves the spotlight. It is so much fun. What a wild ride, huh? Thanks for taking time to stop by, Shane. 100 down-at least several 100 more to go. 🙂
