May Writing Challenge: The Pressure is Off
Join the May writing challenge
Short one today —
Last week we kicked off the May Writing Challenge on the Residuals Discord server, and if you didn’t jump in at the start then I have great news: the pressure is off! Starting a week late means you don’t have to worry about screwing up a perfect score because you definitely won’t get one. Feel that sigh of relief?
Now you can just write for as many days as you can, work on finding your stride and see how high you can build your streak.
Use this free writing tracker to keep yourself accountable:
You’ll see an average page count, total minutes, total pages, and you can build up your writing streak to screenshot and share with a community of other writers taking the challenge on the Residuals discord.
It’s not too late. Jump in now!
