Dean Challenge 2025

Dean now has a new Titanium shoulder and will be getting back to writing solidly in 2025.

So writing more consumable words than Dean can write is the goal. That's what this challenge is all about. Can you produce as many words as Dean in 2025. Dean will turn 75 this year, just as a point of interest.

What are "consumable" words?

--- Any fiction of any type (no requirement to publish during the challenge time)

--- Any nonfiction that others will consume such as blogs, introductions to collections things like that.

--- emails and comments on Facebook or blogs do NOT count.

No genre limitations.

Rules of Turn-In

1... Every month you must send Dean an email giving him your word count. He does not want to know what you are writing, just how much.

The cost is $600.

(No credit from anything, I am afraid. Can't buy in with credit to get more credit.)

If you miss and give up at any point, or do not beat Dean at the end of the year, you get $600 credit toward any online teaching, such as Pop-Up series or lectures or classics or lifetime workshops. Over 400 things to pick from.

So in essence, you are buying at least $600 credit.

If you beat Dean's word count (or come within 20,000 words of it) by the end of the year, you get your choice of any Lifetime Subscription WMG Publishing has to offer. (except the Everything Subscription.)

You also get a BEAUTIFUL TROPHY AWARD. This trophy is a hand-blown glass float from the Oregon Coast. (Photo by Travel Oregon.)

So, in Summary...

The Dean Challenge 2025 Full is you writing more than Dean will write in consumable words for the year of 2025.

--- Cost is $600. (The $600 gets you that much credit for anything on Teachable if I win. If you write more than Dean after a year, you get a Lifetime Subscription of your choice.

And if you beat Dean's word count, you get a beautiful hand-blown glass float we call the BEAUTIFUL TROPHY AWARD. 

This is a win/win/win challenge. Jump in, should be great fun!
