Have a story on the brain and need to get it told? Setting yourself a goal of writing 50,000 words in 30 days is absolutely doable. You won't have a book ready to be published, but you'll have a meaty core to a story you can polish. And you can say you'll have set an ambitious writing goal and succeeded!

 

To support your endeavors, I've created word tracking pages (that help you maintain your word goals no matter what time frame you're working with) and put additional resources on this page.

 

You've got this. You can write 50k in 30 days!

 



Also available to help you along your writing journey, for any time you're thinking on, plotting, pantsing, brainstorming, or promoting your books, is The Writer's Planner Series.
