Writers, by now you’ve probably heard about the 10K Novel-Building Challenge, which starts October 1st at ChapterBuzz (that’s right, just days from now!)
The “10K” is your big chance—your chance to spend the month of October writing your novel, fine-tuning your chapters with the help of other writers, building your readership, and possibly even winning an award for your writing.
And with so many writers jumping on board, this Challenge promises to be our biggest yet!
Are you in?
Here’s what your October will look like:
1. First week: Write 10,000 words
The pressure’s on! Pour yourself a steaming mug, snuggle up in your writing nook, and lay down 1,500 words every day for the first 7 days.
2. Second week: Critique Week
You’ve worked hard, so let’s slow things down. Now, kick back and read the stories of other Challenge participants. This week, you’ll read their novels-in-progress, “Buzz” their chapters, and give feedback on their work. Meanwhile, they’ll be doing the same for you.
3. Third week: Revise
Revise your existing chapters based on the feedback you’ve received, and continue to add more chapters to your novel. Now it’s really taking shape!
4. Fourth week: …
Week 4 is…well, it’s a surprise. Enter the Challenge now to get in on the secret!
5. Last few days: Awards
It’s awards time! Three deserving writers will be presented with awards for their work. I want you to be one of them!
The 10K Challenge is a powerful way to ignite your writing life and start zooming down the path toward a published novel.
Get in now! Hurry, the Challenge starts October 1st.
