PlotHacker exists to explore a fundamental tension. Every story is unique and every writer works differently, but all good stories have something in common. It's not a simple formula. But it is something. We're here to help you find and harness that something.
This challenge is a great example. This isn't a bunch of generic character sheets and worldbuilding prompts and "inspiration" to wallow around in. Our exercises are a serious tool designed to cut to the heart of the story you want to tell.
Day by day, you'll clarify the gripping core of your story and hone the world you want to write in. You'll find what lights you up and distill it into story.
It's real work. It's vulnerable. And it's exhilarating.
We know it's not for everyone, but if you're ready to take your writing practice seriously and make some real progress, we're here to help you every step of the way. Just keep showing up, and you may be surprised at where you are in three short weeks.
Take the challenge. It's time to write your novel.
