Fiction Frenzy Writing Challenge
What is the Fiction Frenzy Writing Challenge?
Also known as FicFrenzy, this is a writing challenge for inspiring writers to carve time in their busy lives to invest in their creative pursuits all while offering a community for encouragement and accountability.
The first FicFrenzy event, known as FallFicFrenzy, took place in the fall of 2022 but the event has now grown into seasonal challenges.
There is no set goal for each event but instead participants create their own goals, whether it is a certain word count, a set number of pages to edit, multiple projects, etc., etc. The idea is to simply have a designated time to make progress on our current WIPs and have a place to gather and support one another.
The Events
Every year, three events are hosted, roughly a month long each.
SPRING EVENT
March 15 – April 15
SUMMER EVENT
June 15 – July 15
FALL EVENT
October 15 – November 15
The Discord Group
The true gold of FicFrenzy is the Discord group where the community gathers to talk about the ups and downs of writing, participate in writing sprints, brainstorm, share snippets, update on our progress and keep each other accountable, encourage one another, and simply have a fun space to meet with fellow writers.

FicFrenzy is all about offering a friendly environment for writers to find encouragement, support, and motivation as they pursue their dreams. Writing should not be a lone venture. The support of fellow writers and motivation of challenges can be such a vital tool in bringing those stories in our hearts from ideas to real words.
