When Was the Last Time You Actually Finished Something You Started Writing?
If you winced reading that question, you're exactly where you need to be. THE 40-DAY ULTIMATE CREATIVE WRITING CHALLENGE!
The 40- Day Ultimate Creative Writing Challenge,
Because real change takes longer than a month, and we're not pretending otherwise!
Here's What's Really Happening, Isn't It?
You've got stories rattling around in your head. Characters who feel more real than some of your neighbours. Scenes that play out perfectly when you're in the shower or walking the dog.
But when you sit down to write? The blank page stares back. Or worse - you write a few hundred words, then convince yourself it's rubbish and delete the lot.
You've probably bought courses before. Downloaded free guides. Joined writing groups that fizzled out. Maybe you've even completed a few writing challenges, felt brilliant for about a week, then watched your daily habit evaporate like morning mist.
The problem isn't your talent. It's not your ideas. It's not even your discipline.
The problem is that most writing challenges treat you like you're starting from scratch, when what you really need is to reconnect with why you started writing in the first place - and then build something sustainable from there.
Why This Challenge Is Different (And Why That Matters)
It's 40 days, not 30. Because I've run enough of these to know that real habits need more time to stick. We'll work intensively for two weeks, take a planned break (not because you've failed, but because rest is part of the process), then come back for another two weeks. It's how actual writers work.
It acknowledges your writing history. Whether you're coming back after years away or you've been struggling to maintain consistency, this challenge meets you where you are. No pretending you're a complete beginner when you've already read every writing book under the sun.
It's designed by someone who understands writing resistance. I've been stuck. I've deleted novels. I've convinced myself I wasn't "really" a writer. If you've been there too, you'll recognise the gentle-but-firm approach that actually works.
What You'll Actually Do (No Fluff, No Filler)
Week 1-2: Reconnection
- Day 1-3: Why you stopped writing (and how to start again without the guilt)
- Day 4-7: Character work that doesn't feel like homework
- Day 8-10: Dialogue that sounds like real people talking
- Day 11-14: Your first complete piece (yes, really - you'll finish something)
Break Week: Integration Because forcing yourself to write every day for 40 days straight is how you burn out, not how you build a practice.
Week 3-4: Expansion
- Day 15-21: Genre exploration (find what excites you)
- Day 22-28: Advanced techniques that actually make a difference
Week 5-6: Completion
- Day 29-35: Building your submission piece
- Day 36-40: Revision, peer feedback, and sending your work out into the world
The Community Bit (But Make It Real)
You'll join a private group of writers who are exactly where you are. Not published authors giving advice from on high. Not beginners who think enthusiasm alone will carry them through. Writers who've been stuck and are choosing to get unstuck.
We share work. We celebrate tiny wins. We commiserate over the days when words won't come. And yes, we hold each other accountable - but gently, the way you'd want a friend to check in on you.
Live Sessions That Actually Help
9 live workshops - but not the kind where someone talks at you for an hour about things you've heard before. These are working sessions. You'll write during them. Ask questions that matter. Get feedback on actual problems you're having.
Timing: 8pm UK time (to accommodate world time differences, and because this gives UK people time to get home from their day jobs)
Replays available - because life happens, and missing one session shouldn't derail everything
What Previous 'Challengers' Are Saying...
Pricing That Makes Sense
Pricing That Makes Sense
£67 for the full 40-day challenge
That's £1.68 per day. Less than a coffee. Less than a magazine. Certainly less than the creative writing course you've been thinking about taking but haven't because it's £500 and six months long and feels like such a massive commitment that you keep putting it off.
The Guarantee
If you complete the first two weeks and aren't seeing a genuine shift in your relationship with writing, I'll refund every penny. No questions, no hoops to jump through. Because this only works if it actually works for you.
Early Bird Bonus (Until 27th July 2025)
Sign up before 1st August 2025 for the Early Bird price of £47 and you'll also get my complete "Words That Matter" programme (usually £47), about language patterns and hypnotic writing techniques. Available September 2025.
But honestly? The real bonus is starting to feel like a writer again.

Still Wondering if This is For You?
Who This Is For
- Writers who've stopped and want to start again
- Writers who start projects but struggle to finish them
- Writers who've done challenges before but didn't build lasting habits
- Writers who are tired of advice that doesn't account for real life
- Writers who want community without drama
- Writers ready to submit work somewhere (competition, magazine, anywhere) by Christmas.
Who This Isn't For...
- Complete beginners (there are better places to start)
- Writers looking for get-rich-quick schemes
- People who want to be told writing is easy (it isn't, but it is worth it)
- Writers who prefer to work entirely alone
- Anyone not prepared to do the actual work.
What Happens Next?
The challenge begins 18th August 2025. You'll get your welcome materials a few days before, so you can settle in before we officially start.
You'll write. You'll connect with other writers. You'll remember why you fell in love with putting words together in the first place.
And by October, you'll have something finished. Something you're proud of. Something ready to send out into the world.
