The One Month of Purpose Award

Tuesday is consistently the day of highest traffic here at Writing Career Coach. That is why I chose this day to announce a new award.

The One Month of Purpose Award

This is an award that will be given by WritingCareerCoach.com and is designed to help writer's focus on their writing. Many of you who write novels are familiar with NaNoWriMo [or Nano as I like to call it]. That is the contest where writers are challenged to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. The winner gets a certificate and bragging rights for a year.

Thousands participate in this challenge every year. It is an AWESOME event.

The One Month of Purpose Award is to help writers at ALL levels focus on their writing HOLISTICALLY for one month. There are two categories with two different awards.

The first division is the Building to their Dream award. A score sheet is given to each participant which includes tasks that will help with craft, marketing, business development, and research. There is a point value given to each task, each week. At the end of the month, the participant with the highest point total win.
What does the winner of the Building to their Dream win? Free Writing Career Coach Course [in the form of a rebate], and a Feature written by me and posted to the WritingCareerCoach.com Blog.

The Second Division is the Writer on the Move Award. This also has a scoresheet. Again this scoresheet focuses on craft, marketing, business development, and research. Again, the winner with the highest point total will win. The Writing on the Move Award winner will be featured on the WritingCareerCoach.com Blog and will also receive their choice of 2 hours of Free phone coaching with me OR the Entire Writing Career Coach Library [From Intro to Part 5 (parts 2-5 as they are released later this year)]

Of course, the greatest reward will be the growth of your writing business.

The April One Month of Focus award is open now.

Eligibility: To be eligible for Writer on the Move Division of the One Month of Purpose Award, you must sign up for the Writing Career Coach Success Program (which means there are a maximum of five entries per month). When you register and pay you'll be asked if you'd like to participate and will be sent a score sheet and complete rules.

To be eligible for the Building to their Dream Division of the One Month of Purpose Award, you must sign up for one of the Writing Career Coach Courses.

That is it!!
