Once everyone’s turned in what they’re going to write for this last challenge day, I’ll tally everything up and follow up with an email of everyone that looks like they did all 30 days, just to confirm with everyone and make sure I didn’t accidentally miss anybody. So if you found it useful, mark your calendars. It’s dicey making pronouncements about anything a year out, but the plan is to definitely do this again next November. Honestly, I was expecting maybe half a dozen folks, all local and we ended up with dozens and dozens of you, so thanks for finding us, and thanks for prioritizing your writing a little bit every day. This all went much better than we were expecting here on our end. Hopefully all of you have at least one or two ideas you want to continue pursuing in the year ahead. You all have more writing in hand than you did at the end of October, and that was the whole point. We have arrived at the final challenge for November 2021.įor those of you who wrote every single day this month, well done!įor those of you who wrote some but maybe not every day, also well done! We’d love to hear from you.Īnd spread the word and tell your friends to keep an eye out for next year’s November challenge. The blog and the email box will remain open, so keep us posted on your progress if you want. Thanks again for participating in the November playwriting challenge with Threshold Theater.

No deadlines now other than the ones you set for yourself.įor those of you who did the whole 30 days with no lapses, I’ve turned over the names and mailing address of those we’re sending checks to our Managing Director and all around money guy David, and he’ll be getting those checks out to you in the coming weeks. Make it one a month and you’ve got enough to keep you occupied for over two years. Instead of one a day, if you played around with one a week, that gets you writing for over half the new year. Hopefully there’s at least one idea that intrigues you and you find worthwhile to continue exploring in the coming months.Īnd if you didn’t click with the breakneck pace of writing and turning in something every day, well, that just means you’ve got 30 writing prompts to play around with at your leisure. That’s the equivalent of over 34 full-length two act plays, or 68 one-act plays, or 409 ten minute plays.Īnd you now have all those pages to play with over the course of the coming year until next November. I know of at least one writer here in the Twin Cities who didn’t make the deadline to sign up, but she followed the daily prompts and did some writing anyway, which was good to hear.Ĭollectively, you all turned in 1,021 script bits in the month of November, totaling 4,090 pages. Only four writers didn’t turn anything in to me - but even they might have been writing, I just never got a chance to see any of the results. Just checking in one last time to put a bow on the results of the November writing challenge.Ģ8 writers made it all the way to the end, writing something every single day of the month.īut nearly every one of the original 45 who signed up wrote something.
