Over 700 of you have decided to take the challenge on! I am overwhelmed by how many others are as excited about the
#24hrnovel
as I am!
I'll be working double time to make sure this year is twice as fun as last!
We're less than a month out from the
#24hrnovel
challenge! We'll be doing a fun interactive countdown soon, so keep your eyes peeled here and over on Instagram!
I should hopefully have some cute banners/pfp etc for anyone who would like to announce that they are participating this year! In my heart, I'd also like to make some stickers (I'm a sticker fiend) but I won't make any promises in regards to that just yet!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the
#24hrnovel
challenge this year! I am but one small rat on this big rock, but I'm trying to get to everyone's posts. You all deserve a big pat on the back for your efforts, no matter how many words you wrote!
Well done to everybody who tried the
#24hrnovel
this past weekend! With the help of
@itsquinnli
I'm currently working out a rough estimate of how many words we collectively wrote this year! (Amongst other things) can't wait to share our overall stats with you all!!
It's day two of the countdown! Introduce your project to us! What genre are you writing in, is this a project you've tried before or something completely new! Pitch below or qrt with your answer!

countdown! What made you want to try the challenge? Is this the first time you're trying something like this or have you tried before?
If we hit 500 followers by tomorrow I'll do a backflip
