31-Day Writing Challenge: Pre-game

Are you joining us?

I am so, so excited! The Ninja Writer 31 Day Challenge starts on Tuesday — May 1. Two more days.

I wanted to take a minute today and let you know what to expect and give you some information to help you get ready to make the most of this thing.

And also ask you to invite any friends who you think might enjoy this challenge to join us by sharing this post. If YOU still need to sign up, you can do it with this form:

What you’ll need:

Pretty easy. Just a notebook and a pen, your computer, and a little time.

We have these notebooks half-off in our shop through the end of today. But really, any notebook will do. If you have an Everyday Notebook or something similar, it will carry you through the six-month write along that’s starting in June. nothing like thinking ahead!

As for time — you’ll want to commit at least ten minutes each to reading and writing, 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:
