For the fourth year in a row, HarperCollins novelist & founder of The Book Incubator™ Mary Adkins is hosting The 10,000-Word Challenge, a free sprint to complete the first 3-6 chapters of your novel over a handful of days.
If you’ve been struggling to start—or keep going—this (FREE!) challenge is your sign that it’s time.
You’ll learn:
- The essential tool to make sure you don’t peter out at 13,000 words: The Big Question
- The Unsatisfied Want, a way to make sure your reader is hooked from page one
- The critical difference between the Writing and Revising Mindsets and why confusing the two can lean to burnout and abandonment of the work
By creating momentum and getting into flow, you’ll be well-positioned to complete your novel draft this year (and by the end of November if you’re into that sort of thing!).
Here’s what past participants have said:
“I just finished my 9,003rd word. I cannot believe how clear Mary Adkins is making this whole writing thing.”
“I’ve been trying to make this novel happen since 2017. Somehow, this simple approach has reconnected me with my 9-year-old self. It’s extraordinary what’s coming out.”
We kick off on Friday, October 31st (spooky!) with a preview session laying the groundwork, and we’ll write on Monday, Nov. 3rd-Wednesday, Nov 5th.
