Daily Writing
Write every day for a month, with a daily goal you choose.
Writing is easy to put off because it rarely has a deadline. A 30-day challenge gives it one: write something every day.
You choose the daily goal: 200 words, one page, or 20 minutes. Keep it small enough to manage on a busy day. Two hundred words a day is still 6,000 words by the end of the month.
The rules
- Write every day for 30 days.
- Choose your daily goal before Day 1: 200 words, one page, or 20 minutes.
- Any writing counts: fiction, essays, journaling, or a project you have been meaning to start.
- You do not have to share or publish anything.
- Check in once you have met your daily goal.
The check-in is about showing up and writing, not about how good the writing was.
Why do it with a group
Writing is usually done alone, but the habit doesn't have to be. Checking in on a shared board with a few friends makes it easier to keep going.
Nobody has to share their writing. The board only shows who has checked in each day.
Run Daily Writing on the board
Create the challenge in about a minute, start on your own or invite your group with a link, and check in once a day. Everyone in the challenge can see who has checked in.

Does editing count as writing?
Decide as a group before Day 1. A common approach: drafting always counts, and editing counts on up to half your days.
What if I miss a day?
Leave it unchecked and write the next day. There's no need to make it up or start over.
Do we have to read each other's work?
No. The board only shows check-ins. If your group wants to share pages at the end, that's optional.
