Ready to do this? Expect results.

We've hosted many different writing challenges over the years.

Here's what our writers have to say about them:


This Challenge was a huge boost for my writing and my ego. It was refreshing to receive so much feedback on my work-in-progress that I can't stop now. Thank you for creating this amazing opportunity.”

Dacia M Arnold, two-time winner of the Most Buzz Award


Very excited! Seven days of writing and I'm in excess of 8,000 words. This challenge ... will have my book done in probably less than two months. First book took over two years. Challenge is good ... put the words down and keep on going!

I'm incorporating lessons as I write. I plan to go back over all the lessons before editing so the lessons are fresh in my mind ... I'm learning a lot.”

Dale Thacker, author of Tales of a Bear Hunter and Marijuana Bear


The Challenge pushed me to write more than I ever have before—every day—which in itself has given me so much pleasure. I have made a start on my very first novel, which is something I'd always thought only other people did! The sense of pride and personal achievement is immense. I have made some new friends who share my enthusiasm and excitement in the process.

I am convinced that this month will absolutely stand out as one of the high points of this year for me.”

Liberty Henwick, winner, Fan Favorite Award


This website taught me to stick to a deadline and to write more effectively. It is the sole reason for my productivity, as it enables me to track my daily productivity.”

George Brad Million, author of Nexus Prexus


This ... Challenge is the most rewarding thing that I have ever been a part of—the pivotal moment my novel needed. I enjoyed the feedback, and reading how much others were enjoying what I was writing. If you haven't joined us yet, you should really consider it!”

Tiffany S. Doran, award-winning author of Desires of the Heart and Forbidden Desires


I thought to myself that if I committed to this Challenge, I'd force myself to finish my book. I was so nervous just looking at the blank document. Then the first line came to me, and I was off!

As I wrote, I could see scenes in my head and I typed them up. I was really doing it! I was writing! Sometimes it would be challenging to keep up the word count, and some days I couldn't write at all. But in the end, I finished the Challenge—mentally exhausted, but so very happy. It was the first complete story I had finished.”

Cynthia A. Jensen, author of Starrbodies


I don't think I've ever wanted to work so hard for something before. I'd written for hours on the last night of the Challenge trying to hit that 10,000 word mark, and I am so happy that I managed to get through and finish.”

Bexx Matthews, winner, Most Buzz Award


These are the first words I've written on the book I've wanted to write since 2007. Thanks so much for getting me to actually begin. ChapterBuzz is the best!”

Arline Chase, author of Spirit of Earth


Thanks for this challenge, I am truly enjoying myself.”

Madara Ranmuthugala, author of Aurora
