The 15-Day Writing Challenge has been rebranded as Get Writing Again in 15 Days. All the information below remains current. Also, check out the 100-Day Writing Challenge (see the table, below).
Writing challenges are a good way to start writing again.
But a writing challenge that helps you explore why you haven’t been writing can help you establish a sustainable writing habit.
I designed this 15-Day Writing Challenge email course with self-examination and sustainability in mind, topped off with some fun creative writing. As a Coach for Writers who’s helped many writers complete their first drafts, I’ve come up with methods and prompts that help writers discover why they haven’t been writing so they can look at themselves honestly and thereby unblock the path to moving toward a daily writing habit.
Through carefully chosen daily writing prompts and daily coaching steps, you will begin to challenge the story you’ve been telling yourself about your relationship to writing and explore what’s been holding you back from maintaining a daily writing practice.
Via your daily emails, you will:
- Examine your relationship to writing.
- Unpack and reframe the story you’ve been telling yourself.
- Reevaluate where and when you write.
- Make changes to your writing space.
- Learn new ways to be creative on the page.
- Become more aware of where you can find inspiration and source material.
- Learn how to support and pick yourself back up during those times when you stop writing.
- End up with fifteen days worth of new material to pull from and use to create stories, essays, scenes, or poetry.
- Learn how to set reasonable goals and coach yourself through your goals.
30-Minute Coaching Session Option
Everyone who signs up for the writing challenge has the option to get a 30-minute coaching session via phone or online video conference.
15-Day Writing Challenge Testimonials
I’m loving the daily exercises. My writing MOJO is definitely flowing now! Thanks Nicole for your comforting support.
– Frankie F. 6/6/16
“If you are a writer who feels discouraged, uninspired, unproductive, and unmotivated, I cannot recommend this challenge enough. Before I took the 15-day challenge I felt crippled by writer’s block and disappointed in myself for my lack of productivity. But through a series of relaxing and explorative prompts, the 15-day challenge allowed me to gradually untangle my writer’s block, clear my mind, and remember why I love writing. Since I finished it, I now complete a writing prompt almost every day on my own. And instead of looking at that first blank page with dread and doubt, I now see it as an adventure. This challenge will change your attitude about writing for the better and rekindle your passion for the craft. It’s more than worth the money. Don’t hesitate!”

“You know, I’ve had numerous teachers throughout my creative life, at schools and academies, and I have been scarred for life by most of them. I truly have felt like a creative cripple for many years. However, I have never felt more nurtured and accepted than under your guidance during the 15 day writing course. That decision to complete the course has been the best decision in a long time. So, thank you.”

“It was a great experience and one that I needed. I haven’t picked up a ‘pen’ in a creative writing journey in many months. The 15 days motivated me to write and I’m glad to report that it’s only whet my appetite. I fell in love with the creative process again. Nicole, you’re awesome. I liked all of the prompts. Thank you, thank you.”

“I began this workshop with lots of apprehension which was similar to how I tackled my writing, unfortunately. But, with your energy and tenacious daily prompts… I was able to defeat the writers block that I often found myself in! I’ve been writing everyday since your workshop and I’m happy to say that I have actually completed two articles that I am preparing to submit for publication! I am incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm, professionalism, and mindful energy that you brought to this 15-Day challenge! I’m actually considering doing it a second time!”
