Do you wish you had more of your story written?
Sometimes, getting words out can feel like pulling teeth.
But we've discovered how to help writers get more words on the page.
It's called Crazy Writing Week.
We've run this annual weeklong challenge since 2020.
And each year? The average participant writes 4,000 words in one week.
These weren't all super disciplined writers before the week.
They were normal high school and college aged students...just like you.
But suddenly, they have the support they needed.
And they start making serious progress:

Frequently Asked Questions
Can This Really Help Me Write More?
Last year, 2,500+ students wrote an average of 4,000 words per person over the course of the week! No matter how much or little you've written in the past, we can absolutely help you make progress in your current writing project.
Who Can Participate?
Any writer between the ages of 13 & 25 is welcome to join us.
What Will I Be Writing?
You're welcome to work on any project you like (like a novel, short story, article, or essay for school). If you don't have any projects you want to work on, we're happy to provide some ideas.
We'll just ask you to tell us how many words you write if you want to earn points for your team.
What's the Time Commitment?
We recommend setting aside at least 30 minutes a day for this challenge, but it's completely up to you! You can spend more or less time than that and still emerge from this one-week challenge as a stronger writer.
Do I Have to Write At a Specific Time Each Day?
Nope! You can write whenever you like. But you do have to clock in and out on our website. We call it "sprinting" and we'll teach you how it works.
How Do I Report My Writing to You?
Once you join, we'll give you more details on how you can report how many words you write each day.
You Mentioned Prizes...Tell Me More!
Prizes are earned across the community as a whole. The more words you write, the more prizes everyone gets at the end of the week!
You could earn a special training with your instructors or even force us to create a wacky Veggie Tales parody video for you!
(We really hope you don't win the Veggie Tales prize...)
