Restart Challenge

I Love Restarting…

Everything feels fresh and I can pretend that the problems earlier didn’t happen or don’t exist.

I have missed about two weeks of stories total in my Write A Story A Day challenge. Not bad, but now I am starting fresh, making sure I get a story per day done, and when I have some extra time, finish a second one to catch up.

But the challenge for me this next three months is to write a story per day, and maybe catch up four or five of the days I missed. Totally possible.

But it would not be possible without the attitude of restarting. Three years ago I got to this point, missed some days and let the entire challenge slip. I missed some days this time for the exact same reason. I am not really believing that I can do anything with these stories.

But this time I have already used an entire collection’s worth of Marble Grant stories from this challenge. And will use a Poker Boy new story or two as well. So when that dawned on me that I am getting the stories out, just not yet how I imagined and planned, that fired me onward to restart.

Still dealing with a lot of the life roll from last year, but every day goes by it feels like that is passing. Yay.

So I know how difficult it will be for me over the next three months to hit this. And I know a lot of you had a rough start to the year as well. So as we did last year, we are firing back up the self-challenge, only for three quarters of a year. Here is the information if you think it might help you.

2025 Challenge RESTART

Challenge yourself to average 2,025 words per day from April 1st to the end of 2025. These would need to be consumable words.

What are “consumable” words?

— Any fiction of any type (no requirement to publish during the challenge time)

— Any nonfiction that others will consume such as blogs, introductions to collections, things like that.

— emails and comments on Facebook or blogs DO NOT COUNT.

No genre limitations.

Rules of Turn-In

1… Every month you must send me an email giving me your word count. I do not want to know what you are writing, just how much.

The cost is $450.

(No credit from anything, I am afraid. Can’t buy in with credit to get more credit.)

If you miss and give up at any point, you get $450 credit toward any online teaching, such as Pop-Up series or lectures or classics or lifetime workshops. Can be used on around 600 different classes and workshops.

So in essence, you are buying at least $450 credit.

If you average 2,025 words per day by the end of the year you get the following nifty awards.

• You get your choice of any Lifetime Subscription WMG Publishing has to offer. (except the Everything Subscription.
• You also get a BEAUTIFUL TROPHY AWARD. This trophy is a hand-blown glass float from the Oregon Coast. (Photo by Travel Oregon.) (Last Year’s trophies are coming.)
  

So, in Summary…

Challenge Yourself to Write, on Average, 2,025 Words Per Day from April 1st to the end of 2025.

— Cost is $450. (The $450 gets you that much credit for anything on Teachable if you don’t hit. If you win, you get a Lifetime Subscription of your choice and a beautiful hand-blown glass float we call the BEAUTIFUL TROPHY AWARD.

This is a win/win/win challenge. Jump in, should be great fun!
