What is involved in a 10-Day Writing Challenge?

April 12th, 2023
The challenge is simple: write for at least 30 minutes every day (Monday through Friday) for two weeks. At the end of that time, we can evaluate ourselves: How did daily writing affect our productivity? Did participation in a writing community affect our enjoyment of the writing process?

The details:

  • Schedule 2-weeks for the challenge
  • Recruit friends, members of your lab, and co-authors to join you in the challenge
  • Block off time on your calendar for the challenge and protect that time
  • Each day of the challenge, you will get a reminder to log your progress (in a shared Google doc) and celebrate your writing streak

Spring 2024 dates:  Feb 26-March 8, 2024.  Members of the Duke Biology Department can sign up for the challenge here.
