Twenty-three faculty and staff members signed up to participate in the first October Writing Challenge. Participants were encouraged to dedicate 15 minutes a day and/or 100 words throughout the month. In addition to collectively tracking their progress, accountability partners were provided upon request. This initiative resulted in 8,291 minutes and 22,358 words logged.
Participant feedback indicated that the challenge was enjoyable and motivating, and should be offered again. As such, if you are interested in kicking off the New Year with a community of fellow writers, sign up to participate in the January writing challenge. More details will follow at the end of the semester.
Congratulations writers!
