Challenges and Events
In my pursuit of making writing a more inclusive part of my life, there are some challenges I endeavor to participate in or follow.
NaNoWriMo or ‘NANO’ (https://nanowrimo.org/)
National Novel Writing Month – An annual international writing challenge to complete 50 thousand written words within the month of November.
NaNoWriMo: A nonprofit organization that provides, tools, structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds — on and off the page.

Just Write Discord Server – Bingo (https://discord.gg/hk9ujGs)
Bingo Card of prompts to be completed by the end of the calendar year for any fandom. (Or whenever you feel inspired) Each story should be 1k – 10k in length and should stand alone (episodes, short stories, not chapters).

The Big Moxie (https://writingandjunk.com/the-big-moxie/)
Be a little brave, write a little story, and be comfortable while you do it. Each quarter, you’ll have a new theme to explore with a minimum word count of 5,000. At the end of the quarter, you’ll post links to your work(s), and we’ll create a page showcasing the entries for each theme.
The Big Moxie is a personal goals challenge for those who find traditional big bang environments stressful or who find Rough Trade intriguing from a thematic point of view, but find the challenge itself daunting. Thus, we have chosen themes that proved popular on RT in the past to start the challenge off.
