2026
Michigan State University is partnering with the NCFDD to host a private 14-Day Writing Challenge.
What’s the challenge?
This challenge is open to academics at all stages, looking to experiment with daily writing and find joy in the process.
- Commit to writing for at least 30 minutes a day for two weeks
- Login to our online community, start the timer, complete your writing, and post your progress at the end
- Take 5 minutes to support other writers in your group by commenting on their progress
“Writing” refers to any scholarly activity ranging from the spark of a new idea to polishing a near-complete project (article, grant proposal, exhibit, book chapter, etc.).
The average participant writes for 350 minutes over the two weeks and 98% of recent participants agreed that “the 14-Day Writing Challenge was helpful in making progress on your scholarly work.”
Monday, March 2 – Sunday, March 15, 2026
Registration ends Sunday, February 22, 2026
