100 Days Writing Challenge (Lotus Edition)

Build a better writing habit. One day at a time.

Maybe you’re recovering from burnout. Maybe life has gotten in the way of your writing. Maybe you’re between stories and struggling to get words on the page again. Maybe you just want to write more consistently than you are at present.

Whatever the reason, your writing routine isn’t as much of a routine as you’d like right now. So USA Today bestselling author Suzie O’Connell has a challenge for you: write at least 250 words (or 30 minutes) a day for 100 days in a row. It’s the very same challenge that finally helped her start writing again after a long battle with burnout.

Here’s why it was so effective for her and could be for you, too:

• 100 days is enough of a stretch to make you work for it but short enough to be “doable”
• Each day, your only goal is to add one more day of writing to your streak, and focusing on one day at a time reduces overwhelm
• 250 words (or 30 minutes) is an easy-to-reach goal, but enough to pull you into your manuscript
• Every additional day you add to your chain builds positive momentum, and positive momentum makes the writer brain happy
• It’s cumulative—every consecutive day you write stretches and strengthens that writing muscle

For this challenge, you need only your favorite means of getting the words from your head onto the page and some way to keep track your writing days and word count. If you’d like something a little more in depth, this 100 Days Writing Challenge workbook has all kinds of goodies to keep you on track and provide a reference once you’ve completed the challenge:

• Challenge Tracker: track your progress and look for patterns with a writing chain graphic, writing totals table, and review questions
• Daily pages: jot notes about what to write today and anticipate potential roadblocks so they don’t blindside you
• 10-day check-ins: give yourself shorter checkpoints to reach for to keep you moving forward
• Words of encouragement scattered throughout to help you stay motivated
