Creativity Challenge & real change

Has anyone ever participated in a creativity challenge that had tangible lasting effects after the challenge was finished?

I’ve done a few NaNoWriMo Novembers now and worked through Julia Cameron’s book, but a friend sent me Struthless’ new A-Z challenge that he has set up for himself because he found that fear was keeping him from sharing most of what he created. https://youtu.be/0tTOQT4HhXI?si=ZroEr_0w2WksnDga

This reminded me of Mariah’s podcast about creators vs service providers and made me think. Now I wonder not only do I want to participate in a challenge links this, what lasting effect do I want it to have. Will it generate energy for the future or just enough to get through the challenge (or whatever part of the challenge I’ve modified and taken on for myself)?

What about you? Has there been a challenge that changed the way you work/create?
