I’ve been getting some questions about this year's September One-Story Challenge, so here’s a quick rundown of how it’ll work:

How it works (at a glance)

• New mini-lesson unlocks daily (you’ll also get an automatic email reminder).
• Bite-sized actions each day (think 30-45 minutes) so you can succeed with a full life.
• Guided cohort conversations via the comments in the course–share wins, stuck points, and aha moments (you’re not doing this alone).
• Two Rest & Reflection days each week with no writing assignments, to help you practice patience and keep your fuel tank topped up.
• Scalable system: everything you learn applies to short stories and longer works.

What’s the flow?

• Week 1: Get the full draft down (messy is fine!).
• Week 2: I’ll teach you the 3 (+1) essential middle beats—in the right order—so you stop stalling and start sailing.
• Week 3: You’ll write those beats; watch your middle come alive.
• Week 4: Deepen character/setting/dialogue, polish, and release (your way: share with the cohort, submit, self-publish, or declare it done and move on with intention).

​
You’ll be amazed at how much you can get done in short, regular spurts, with the support of a friendly group of fellow writers.

By Oct 1, you’ll have a story finished and the confidence that you can do it again, any day (not ‘some day’) ;)
