I am so, so excited! The Third Annual Ninja Writer 31 Day Challenge starts again on May 1, 2019.
Should we call it NaNiWriMo? National Ninja Writers Month!
I wanted to take a minute today to invite you to join us. Also, let you know what to expect and give you some information to help you get ready to make the most of this thing.
If you want to sign up to get the 31 challenge posts in your email inbox, you can do it with this form:
What you’ll need:
Pretty easy. Just a notebook and a pen, your computer if you use one to write with, and a little time.
This is the notebook I use for this challenge myself. Any notebook at all will work, though.
As for time — you’ll want to commit at least ten minutes each to reading and writing for the month, and sometimes ten more minutes to the day’s challenge task. So twenty to thirty minutes a day. A commitment, for sure, but doable. You’ve got this!
Some resources that might help:
One of the challenges that we’ll be working on is starting an email list. If you don’t have an email server yet, you might want to work on that. Check out this post for info.
