The 50k writing month is broken.
Let's fix it.
Red progress bars that guilt you when life happens. Corporate drama. Trackers that don't care how you actually write. Welcome to the Nanaimo Challenge. Built by an indie writer, for writers.
Why write with us?
We threw out the old rules and built an engine that actually helps you finish.
Guilt-Free Math
Miss a day? Sick kids? Overtime? Our dynamic tracker gently spreads your deficit across the remaining days. Write 4,000 words on a Saturday? Your daily goal drops for the rest of the week. No red bars of shame.
Team Cabins
Writing is better together. Share your exclusive penwith.me link with your writing group to form a Cabin. Track each other's daily progress, host word sprints, and send nudges to keep the momentum alive.
Global Leaderboard
Want a little friendly competition? Opt into the global leaderboard and see how you stack up against the entire community. (Spoiler: The founder is participating, and you get a special badge if you beat him.)
