ANWA Summer Writing
Challenge 2016
or
How I Beat
Writer’s Block,
Self-Doubt,
and Procrastination
in 100 Days
Hey
You,
You
with the story in your head but doubt in your heart, and you, Miss Too Busy to
Write, ANWA has something for you. Something that can get you back on the
creative path.
IT'S EASY!
IT'S FREE!
IT'S THE ANWA SUMMER WRITING CHALLENGE!
 |
| Now I have a reason to live! |
How
to participate
- Set
a goal. It can range from 100 words per day to an entire book. The sky’s the
limit.
- Share
your goal with us in the comment section on this blog post.
- Join
us every Saturday on the ANWA Facebook page for an encouraging message and to
update us on your weekly progress.
- (Optional,
but highly recommended) Designate a writing taskmaster. Someone who will check
up on you daily to see where you’re at, what you’ve accomplished.
It can be anyone.
- A family member
- A friend
- A co-worker
Personally, I’d seek out a fellow writer. You can support and
encourage, commiserate and challenge, generally spur each other on to kick
butt.
Remember we’re striving for
consistency more than quantity.
100
days of writing = a habit that can be sustained when the Challenge ends.
100
words per day = 10,000 words
10,000
words =
- 1/3 of a Middle Grade book
- 1/6
of a Young Adult book
- 1/8
of a Grown-up book
10,000
words = a good beginning

| Wait, did somebody say free books? |
*Everyone
who participates will be entered in a bi-weekly drawing. The prizes? Books, of
course. Books related to the craft of writing.
Join
us June 1st – September 8th for a most productive summer.
