Plot's Peak Challenge
Choose your peak and write your rough draft!Our Plot's Peak Challenge takes place in November. Unlike NaNoWriMo's single 50K word count goal, we have gone with word count goal tiers and named them after the highest peak in each New England State!
Jerimoth Hill, RI (814 ft.) - 10k words/334 per day
Bear Mountain, CT (2,323 ft.) - 20k words/668 per day
Mount Greylock, MA (3,489 ft.) - 25K words/ 834 per day
Mount Mansfield, VT (4,393 ft.) - 30k words/1,000 per day
Mount Katahdin, ME (5,269 ft.) - 40k words/1,334 per day
Mount Washington, NH (6,288 ft.) - 50k words/1,667 per day
Keep track of your word count relative to your chosen goal by creating a free account on the TrackBear website and joining the Plot's Peak Challenge Leaderboard for extra accountability.
