Maybe you started this challenge determined not to miss a day (“It’s all going to be different this time!”) and maybe life got in the way—or your mother came to visit, or your boss threw a big project at you—and the challenge has got away from you.
Or maybe you just discovered this challenge and are sad you missed the start.
Good news!
With the fun-size version of the challenge you can jump in right now, catch up on the essentials in about 2 hours (total), and still be on track to finish a new short story this month.
In this post, I have prepared a banquet of all the fun-size tasks you’ll need to get your story written.
(If you want to get the most out of the challenge, I suggest you go here and click on all the tasks, to help you build a sustainable writing practice, but in the interests of catching up, this page has the essentials.
BEWARE: these materials will not be available after the challenge ends, so don’t think you can come back to it later.
Writers love deadlines, right?
