Dean Challenge 2025... Half

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

So writing more than half of the consumable words than Dean can write is the goal. That's what this challenge is all about. Can you produce half 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 $300.

(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 half of Dean's total at the end of the year, you get $300 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 $300 credit.

If you beat half of Dean's word count (or come within 10,000 words of it) by the end of the year, you get $600 in credit.)

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 Half is you writing more than half of what Dean will write in consumable words for the year of 2025.

--- Cost is $300. (The $300 gets you that much credit for anything on Teachable if Dean wins. If you write more than half of what Dean writes after a year, you get a $600 in credit

And if you beat half of 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!
