Ongoing Challenges
The 8-Chapter Challenge runs every two months throughout the year on the justwriteit profile. The 8CC is the perfect motivator for writers who have a great story concept, or ongoing story, to find a reason to sit down and just write it. In the two months that each 8CC runs, you must write 8 chapters with a minimum of 1500 words each. That's 12k words!
The 30-Day Challenge runs monthly on the justwriteit profile. The 30DC offers writers support and encouragement to write consistently for 30 days and at the end we celebrate your word count milestones. Come and write with the community!
