Do sprints work?
This September, 89% of our sprinters either completed their writing sprint goal in full (60%) or in part (29%).
Also, people tell us things like this:
The accountability of the writing sprint was incredibly useful. I liked how I got to set my own goals. Definitely made me think.
- Lou Tondeur
At the end of my first 7-day writing Sprint I had a piece of writing I was chuffed about. All I had to do was let myself be coached by this accessible and knowledgable duo
- Nancy Harris McLelland
The sprint was a huge success personally for me. I got to achieve a major writing goal that had been with me for a while. The supportive community created by Bec & Chris was a massive help.
- Fionnuala Kilbane
How do they work?
Sprinting is fast, fun, simple and effective. First you need a project to work on - something you might be stuck on or feel you need to give a bit more welly. Over seven days we send you emails though Substack asking you tell us what you’re planning to write that day (how many words etc, not the content). We suggest keeping your steps small.
You can check in with the sprint group or you can go solo - it’s up to you. We’re on hand over the seven days and you can tap us up for some free coaching advice - we love this. Here’s a post that explains a bit more and gives you details on how to join our super-supportive sprint club.
So, that’s all for now. Any questions? Just holler and we’ll get back in touch.
We’d love to see you on the starting line soon.
Chris and Bec, your sprint coaches.
P.S. Here’s the first sprint free discount code again. Do remember that the offer closes on Saturday 2nd November so you have just one week to take advantage of it.
P.P.S. If you really can’t afford a subscription, just tell us and we’ll comp you one, no questions asked.
