#100DayCC5 – Favorite Identities

The WriteMovies 100-Day Creative Challenge is now live! Keep positive, focused and progressing.

To support our followers through the Coronavirus lockdowns and beyond, WriteMovies is launching our 100-Day Creative Challenge. It’s a simple daily structure to help you all keep positive, focused and successful – compiled from our acclaimed WriteMovies Academy, to help you all build and grow momentum every day! CLICK HERE to visit the #100DayCC homepage and get started!

The Challenges get you creating whatever suits you – useful notes, sketches, scripts – while growing in a core aspect of writing every day. Sharing your activity on social media (or directly to us for mentoring, through our new Academy Lite service) can also keep you connected and mutually supported. See WHY we’re doing this here, and also how to build a new PLAN and routine that will get you through the lockdown in the best way possible, for everyone’s sake. (more…)
