Hi, I'm Julie Duffy, founder & director of StoryADay. 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. Join me for info, workshops, challenges & courses, and of course, the StoryAWeek newsletter.
Quick question...
As an endlessly-curious reader and writer, when do you like to be inspired?
I mean, when is your favorite time to settle in with a writing-related email or article?
Answer my 2-question poll here
Are you a weekend reader? Need a jolt first thing every weekday morning? Or do you curl up with your inbox late at night, looking for inspiration for tomorrow?
Whatever your answer, I hope you're getting a little end-of-year chill time to do some writing, read some stories, and look ahead to the coming year.
Keep writing,
Julie
P. S. I hope your Christmas was lovely, if that's one of your holidays (I'm a big fan), and that otherwise, you had a peaceful Monday!
