First Draft Fall: Our Answer to NaNoWriMo

In the wake of NaNoWriMo’s timely demise, we’ve decided to create a writing challenge of our own: #FirstDraftFall!

#FirstDraftFall will begin on October first and run through December 13th. The goal is exactly what it sounds like: to create a first draft!

The beauty of this is that you can choose what you’re creating a first draft of: a short story, a novelette, a novella, or even a novel! Whatever you feel inspired to write AND believe you can finish in six weeks.

The challenge will be divided into three sections: Planning in October, Drafting in November, and Wrapping up in the first two weeks of December!
