12 Days of Christmas 2021

Nov 3, 2021 | Challenge

Can you believe that 2022 is just around the corner? Usually, I open up the 12 Days of Christmas sign ups at the start of December, but this year, I’m starting early.

For those of you who haven’t heard of it before, this is a writing challenge designed to kickstart our creativity for the New Year. There will be 12 writing prompts sent out via email between 25 December and 5 January. It’s free to join and is open to anyone of any age, all you need is an email address.

Why those dates? Did you know, the 12 Days of Christmas are between December 25 and January 5? I learned this a couple of years ago after spending years thinking it was the first 12 days of December!!

I also have a private Facebook group you can join to connect with others and share your writing if you wish.

Participation is free, this is my Christmas gift to you. If you participated in previous years, you are automatically included this year.
