The 7DayStory is a short story writing challenge, from the creators of StoryADay May and the DIY MFA:

Why Write A Story in 7 Days?7DS-Cover-Tangerine-LG

We believe that it is by writing that we become writers.

But when we are finishing, revising, releasing our work, and connecting with readers and other writers, we become fulfilled writers.

We’re encouraging writers to sharpen their writing skills by writing, revising and releasing short stories in seven days.

  • Finish your first draft in a day or two, before you lose momentum
  • Revise the story over the next few days in several passes
  • Connect with other writers to find sources of support and feedback.
  • Release the story to trusted readers, or perhaps a publication.
  • Repeat the process often, to learn from your experiences and reinforce the writing habit.

Sign up now to join the #7DayStory challenge and get daily updates to keep you on track through the writing and revision process
