Do you need some oomf in your writing life? Or maybe you’re on the edge of burnout and need a very real reminder to sllloowwww down. The Quill & Cup 20 can be just the nudge for what you need: to rest, to write, or to refine the ideas you want to get on the page.

 

WHAT DO YOU NEED? CHOOSE YOUR OWN CHALLENGE:

5 days per week for 4 weeks in March

 

REFINE:

Spend 20 minutes a day refining your story (brainstorm, outline, or revise).

 

WRITE:

Write 20,000 new words in March.

 

REST:

On the egde of burn out? Spend at least 20 minutes/day filling your cup.

 

 

How It Works

  • Dedicate at least 20 minutes each day for 5 days per week during March (that means there are 2 rest days included per week!) to commit to any of the following challenges:
    • Choose to write 20,000 new words or
    • Spend at least 20 minutes per session refining your work or
    • Spend at least 20 minutes per day doing a cup-filling activity.
       
      By doing so, you'll be steadily building your creative habits (yes, yes, yes, rest is a non-negotiable of the creative process!).

  • When you say you're going to show up for your writing life and then don't, the disappointment really starts to build. Let's stop that from getting any worse. By committing to the Q&C 20, you'll start to show up again -- and that builds momentum while rebuilding integrity (in yourself!).

    Consistency matters more than strict daily routines.

  • As a member of the Quill & Cup community, you'll not only have built-in community ready to support you and hold you accountable, but you'll also receive...
    • Access to a specific #challenges channel in the Sisterhood Slack, so you're not overwhelmed by new people, perspectives, etc. Safe and intimate, as we like to keep it in the Hedgie House! 
    • Over 100 hours of recorded content in our educational Prickle library to help you through any writing blocks in craft, mindset, and/or authorpreneurship.
    • Live, virtual writing sessions (what we call Prickles) are available and encouraged for all Hedgies, too, but not a necessary part of the challenge.
    • Opportunities to receive live and/or asynchronous feedback on your work/ideas.
    • And way, way, more.

ALLISON PRESTON, MEMBER SINCE 2021

My writing journey would have been far more lonely.

"Without Quill and Cup, my writing journey would have been far more lonely. [Hedgies] have been my greatest cheerleaders, have encouraged me to continue writing when I was ready to give up, and have taught me so much about what I am truly capable of. I am eternally grateful to Ania and the Quill and Cup community for welcoming me in, taking me under their wing, and helping me to achieve my dream of being a published author."

JESSICA LOVELESS, MEMBER SINCE 2025

I can truly be myself

"I’m drawn to the feeling of connection and belonging that Quill & Cup provides. It’s like finding a place where I can truly be myself, surrounded by people who understand my journey and share my passion. There’s a unique sense of camaraderie that comes from knowing we’re all in this together, navigating the ups and downs of creativity.

TAMARA RENE, MEMBER SINCE 2023

I probably would have given up

"The support that I've found within the women of Q&C and the many hours I've spent at the magic table have pushed me through some hard parts of my editing experience when I probably would have given up otherwise."
