That’s okay.
Take Sundays off. Write flash fiction on your lunch break. Use the challenge to explore your novel’s world or finish half-drafted stories.

Hi! I’m Julie Duffy — writer, creativity coach, and founder of StoryADay. I started this challenge back in 2010 because I was tired of waiting for “someday.” I wanted to stop waiting for the perfect time to write, and I wanted to help other writers do the same.
Over the years, thousands of writers have taken part in StoryADay. Many have gone on to finish novels, get published, build consistent writing practices, and — most importantly — rediscover their joy in storytelling.
I believe writing should be fun, freeing, and totally yours. That’s why StoryADay is free to join and totally pressure-free. Come as you are. Let’s write together.
Keep an eye out for information about our StoryADay Superstars, an optional paid membership that opens shortly before the challenge begins.

But don’t worry — the core StoryADay Challenge is a free gift to the writing community. All you need to do is sign up and show up.
Make 2025 the year you stop waiting and start writing. Whether you want to write 31 stories or just get back in the groove, this challenge will meet you where you are — and help you go further than you imagined.
Join now and get your welcome bonuses + daily prompts starting May 1.
The only qualification to be a ‘Superstar” is a desire to write and support your fellow writers.
A supportive group of committed writers, who meet virtually, support each other’s efforts, and inspire each other.
