Draft that novel from start to finish in the fall – from October through December! Create a writing routine, a goal, and get that novel written! It runs from October 1st to December 31st, giving you 92 days to write 90,000 words!
Of course you can always go rogue and set your own goal, write something other than a novel, or do something other than work on a first draft.
This year our challenge is Fahrenheit 90k.
The Society of Wayward Writers is a writing group headquartered in New York City. While we specifically came into being on March 5, 2024, we are the latest incarnation of a long and storied writing community hosted in the five boroughs. We meet up in cafes, bars, public spaces, and all over the internet, expanding our reach beyond the city.
We’ve spent years writing a ridiculous number of words (many for the Word God), tons of wild characters, and countless novels along the way. Our story begins long ago, as we came together and set sail with one goal: to write a novel in a month.
We joined this group of intrepid travelers and sailed the seven seas with them, writing many novels, crashing beautiful nights while writing dangerously, enjoying way too many libations of all kinds, and conquering plot bunnies.
In 2024, we changed our name to The Society of Wayward Writers, but we will continue to brandish our pens and fight the good fight, writing Words for the Word God!
We regularly forget that we have a mailing list, but if you join we’ll send a Discord link your way at some point!
