Are you looking for a safe, welcoming, and vibrant community to share your daily challenge stories with? Look no further than the Challenged. We are an inclusive community of writers excited to share our stories.

This publication started as a result of Keeley Schroder’s January 31-Day Challenge. She kept it going for several months, but as it grew, it became too much for one person, so we joined forces.

Our stories will appear in chronological order based on when they were published. If you include an older piece it will not show up at the top.

Please note: We will no longer publish stories that aren't related to prompts or challenges.

Guidelines are simple: Be a decent human being and follow the guidelines set down by Medium.

Comment on this post to be added as a writer. Include your Medium handle.

If your story is in response to one of our challenges, you don’t have to link to it, but we smile when you do. If writing in response to an outside prompt, please link to the original prompt article so that we can all check it out.

the Challenged is the place for you

Have you ever written something for a daily challenge and wondered whether you should self-publish or publish in a publication but don’t know where it’d be welcomed? the Challenged is the place for you.

Most writers on Medium, especially those starting out get a higher viewership when they publish their stories with a publication. I’m not saying that you can’t get high viewership without it but it certainly helps. Finding the right publication for your ideas and stories is also important.
