Join The "Crazy Writing Week" Challenge To Overcome Writer's Block, Finish Your Story, And Become A Stronger Writer
From January 8th - 15th, we're hosting a FREE interactive challenge for Christian writers in their teens and early twenties. Join now to win prizes and start writing again!
We share your love and passion for writing...and we also understand the struggles that come with it.
It can often feel like you're not getting anywhere, you keep staring at a blank page, and none of your friends really care about writing.
How would you like to be surrounded by a community of young writers just like you, participating together in a challenge to just sit down and write?
Here's How This Works:
Join Your Team
Register for this event with your name and email address only. This is 100% free.
Compete for Prizes
Enjoy some friendly competition to help you write. The more everyone writes, the more prizes you get.
Grow as a Writer
Each day, we'll release a new lesson that will help you become a stronger, more skillful writer.
Get The Guidance You Need To Grow...
Your instructors, Brett Harris (bestselling author of Do Hard Things), Kara Swanson (Christy-award-winning author of Dust & Shadow) and many other experienced writers are here to help guide you along the way.
This is your chance to grow as a writer, connect with a cohort of other young writers on the same journey as you, and have a ton of fun at the same time.
The challenge starts January 8th. Join now to win prizes and start writing again!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can This Really Help Me Write More?
Last year, 1,000+ students wrote an average of 4,000 words per person over the course of the week! So we think the results and testimonials on this page speak for themselves.
Who Can Participate?
Any writer between the ages of 13 & 25 is welcome to join us.
Where Do I Write?
You can write on paper, on a computer, on a phone, or anywhere else! We'll just ask you to tell us how many words you write if you want to earn points for your team.
Do I Have to Write At a Specific Time Each Day?
Nope! You can write whenever you like. But you do have to clock in and out on our website. We call it "sprinting" and we'll teach you how it works.
How Do I Report My Writing to You?
We do it by the honor system! Once you join, we'll give you more details on how you can report how many words you write each day.
