Motivational Minute #198: After the Writing Challenge

This week on Motivational Minute, resident writing coach, Racquel Henry discusses what to do after the writing challenge ends.

Racquel was inspired by writers who’ve gotten in touch with her recently after the conclusion of The Write Brave Challenge. Put simply, many writers were wondering, “The challenge is over, so what do I do now?”

A lot of thought went into Racquel’s response. Essentially, the answer is to keep writing. The Write Brave Challenge was designed to help writers establish a framework for their writing routine and build consistency, after all. After the writing challenge has helped you build momentum, the absolute best thing you can do is let the momentum and the habits you built drive you towards achieving your writing goals.

For more on this topic, you can read this week’s newsletter, where Racquel dives deeper into what writers can do to help themselves recover after a writing challenge. (Haven’t subscribed to the newsletter yet? You can do so here!)

Happy writing!
