Every year since 2010 I've challenged writers like you to prove to themselves that they can write more (and better) than they think, during the StoryADay May challenge. During the rest of the year, StoryADay supports you with the StoryAWeek newsletter (writing lessons & prompts), a popular podcast, blog posts, mini-challenges, courses, and a members' community. StoryADay May has become a fixture on the writing calendar, and the lively community is one of Writer's Digest's 101 Best Websites for Writers.

Just Released: Save Time with the StoryADay Challenge Handbook
|
Ever have one of those days where you want to write, but get to your desk and…nothing? Well, I created StoryADay May for you (and me). And this year I have a fantastic new way for you to gain all the benefits of StoryADay: but spend less time wondering what to write: The StoryADay Challenge Handbook. With daily warm-ups and brainstorming sessions, this new StoryADay experience will propel you into your writing day and let you get to the fun stuff (the writing) no matter how busy you are. Whether you’re planning to write a StoryADay in May or just want to be able to show up at your desk any day, write, and walk away feeling like you’ve flexed your writing muscles, improved your grasp on the craft, and created something real. I built the StoryADay Challenge Handbook so you can get more out of this year’s writing prompts, in May…or any time you want to write. (And this one is specially designed for the introverted writers who aren’t interested in writing sprints or hangouts or really anything other than getting words on the page and growing their skills.) I’ve taken everything I’ve learned over the past 15 years about short stories, writing, writers, and prompts, and put it together in this brand-new offering. I think you’re going to love it (and the special 15th Anniversary discount….it’s like nothing you’ve seen from me since 2018!). If you’re longing to get to your desk more often, and feel more fulfilled when you walk away, check out the brand-new StoryADay Challenge Handbook Keep writing, Julie P. S. Yes, the writing prompts will still be coming to your inbox for free, if you’ve signed up. The Handbook adds video, audio, an ebook collection, and daily warm ups and brainstorming exercises designed to propel you into your writing, whether you’re taking the StoryADay May Challenge, or simply want to use it throughout the year to jumpstart your writing day.

Here in the US we're all talking about tomorrow's solar eclipse. If you (like me) are not in the path of totality it can be tempting to be sad or cynical about all this excitement, but don't be! I think the reason we're so excited about the eclipse is, ironically, that the lack of light illuminates the world in a new way for humans. It's a non-everyday event that has the capacity to change how we see the world we live in. Writing and writers bring this gift of a perspective shift every single...
