If your year started in a blaze of good intentions, and you find yourself here, facing the last quarter, thinking, oh no, I haven’t written nearly as much as I meant to…fear not.
This year, I’m re-running the StoryADay challenge during November.
And you’re invited.
Remember, you make your own rules!
Don’t want to write and finish a story every day? Fine!
You decide what ‘story’ means to you, and your own definition of ‘a day’.
The point is to write more than you would otherwise, and to use the energy of the challenge—and the community—to help you do that.
How it works:
- Commit
- Decide on your rules
- Use the daily writing prompts (or don’t) to help you write more than you would otherwise.
- Stop by the blog to leave a comment and let us know how’re getting on each day. #OldSchool
This year’s prompts included a peek inside these authors’ heads (and more)
P. Djèlí Clark, Mary Robinette Kowal, John Wiswell, Lori Ostlund, Kim Coleman Foote, Sasha Brown, R. S. A Garcia, Jennifer Hudak, Tim Waggoner, Rachel Bolton, Julia Elliot, Kai Lovelace, Anglea Sylvaine, Rich Larson, F. E. Choe, Emma Burnett , Patricia A. Jackson, Allegra Hyde, and more
Throughout this month I’ll be bringing you warm-up tasks—tiny tasks—that will help you prepare for a successful challenge. Sign up and I’ll even send them to your inbox every week.
Here’s the first week’s worth of warm-up tasks.
Go at your own pace, but do go!
