As many of you know by now, my best friend, Hana, and I started a community for writers.
We started Iron Pen Writing Challenge last year. It's an alternative to the 'OTHER' writing challenge because we knew writers needed a safe place to turn. That and it makes November really stressful for writers who celebrate holidays. November was always a huge stress on us anyway. So, we came up with our challenge, changed it up, and launched officially this year. Iron Pen is different.
We believe in human writers.
We believe in having a safe place for those writers.
We also believe in setting realistic writing goals. Not everyone writes 50K. Some of you don't even write books with that many words in it, while others are stressing and wanting to cry over it. (I feel you)
GOALS: We have set 2 goals for the official writing challenge- 25K and 50K.
MOVING THE MONTH: This year we are doing the challenge in November because everyone was already planning for that and it was too late to change it up for those who plan in advance. However, we're permanently moving the challenge to October in 2025 to help everyone have a less stressful holiday season.
While we gear up for a website launch in 2025, we have set up some amazing places to track your progress for this year and we have all the info here in the group and our Facebook page.
Whether you’re gearing up to write 25K or 50k in 30 days or just looking for a supportive community to share your writing journey, you’ve found the right place.
