Write Together,
Grow Together

I used to think that writing was something you had to do alone—tucked away in an isolated room, just writing and writing. But over time, I discovered something different: while that approach may work for some, I do my best when I have a shared goal and a supportive group to connect with. That’s where a writing challenge comes in.
 

In the 60-Day Writing Challenge, you’ll be writing independently, but you’ll have writing buddies aiming for the same goal. With a bit of healthy competition and a place to track your progress, the challenge creates a space where accountability and motivation come together. By sharing word counts and cheering each other on, you’ll find the energy to push through, day by day. And just like that—your writing journey is no longer a solo endeavor!

Hi! I'm Michelle, your Challenge Host.

I’ve always enjoyed creating stories, starting with small ones when I was seven. I primarily write and read YA Fantasy, but I’ve also developed a taste for non-fiction.
 

As a web designer and writer, I balance my work with my family's schedule. I love collaborating with authors and bookish professionals and plan to publish a novel at some point.

  • Is the 60 Day Writing Challenge free?
    Yes! Participation in the challenge is completely free. Plus, you’ll have a chance to win prizes. Be sure to review the challenge rules for all the details.
  • The 60 Day Writing Challenge has already started. Is it too late for me to join?
    That depends. You can join at any time and start competing, but the later you join, the harder it may be to win. That said, you can still make progress and use the challenge to jumpstart your writing habits. You might even decide to join now and use this time to prepare for the next round. While winning is great, the real goal is to help you build consistent writing habits—so why wait?
  • Can I work on more than one project during the 60 Day Writing Challenge?
    Absolutely! This challenge is all about your personal writing goals. Whether you want to start a new book, finish an old one, or finally tackle those blog posts on your to-do list, the choice is yours.
  • What are your rates for design?
    I offer both design packages and hourly options to suit your needs. Whether you're an author, a bookish professional, or a small business owner, you can find detailed information about services and pricing on the page that best represents your needs: Author Services Bookish Professional Services Small Business Services
  • What platforms do you design on?
    My primary design platform is Wix, where I specialize in creating beautiful and functional websites. While Wix is my main focus, I’m also familiar with platforms like Squarespace and open to exploring it if it aligns with your needs. If you’re considering another platform, feel free to reach out, and we can discuss whether it’s the right fit for your project.
