Hi ladies,

There is one more month to enjoy our summer. However, I hope you will also get some writing done. You can both enjoy the beautiful weather AND write!

August is usually a month when it can be VERY hard to write.

So, our challenge this month is to try to write without distractions.

The challenge goes as follows:

For every 30 minutes that you write, please do the following (as much as you can and life will allow):

  • Set an egg timer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove your phone and cell phone.
  • Shut down the internet or use Freedom to pause your internet.
  • Open your word document where you will type or take out your paper to write.
  • Click the timer to start position.
  • Do nothing but write for the duration.
If time allows, take a 1 to 2 minute stretch break and repeat the above for as many 30 minute sessions as you can.

Try to get your family onboard with you. Tell them your goals and ask them to respect your writing time.

If you can do one to two 30 minute, non-distracted sessions a day, five days a week, you win!


There's a catch, though. You will have to write for 30 to 60 minutes a day, 5 days a week for the whole month of August.

Every week, I will post a how-to article on how to write free from distractions. So, stay tuned.

If you would like to sign up for the challenge, please leave a message under this thread.

The winner gets a free e-book on how to write in an un-distracted fashion. I would love to give away as many e-books as possible.

Let's do as much writing as we can this month!
Irene S. Roth
