Donecember 2025 Announcement
Welcome in, to the first edition of Donecember (Done December)!
What is Donecember
Donecember is a writing challenge where the goal is to finish things, get them done! If you have any WIPs you've been meaning to keep working on, or that you were meaning to come back to, this is your time to shine
How it works
You pick a list of projects (intended to be writing ones, although feel free to adapt this to your needs), and by the end of the month of December they must either be done (to whichever degree you deem necessary), or you must have added an amount of words of your choice to every unfinished WIP
Your list can be as big or small as you wish, and the same goes for your wordcount goal, you just have to pick
For example: You have 5 WIPs, and your chosen number is 2000 words. On December 31st you've finished 3 of the WIPs, added 3000 words to one of the other two, and added 2000 words to the final one. You have won the challenge
Other rules
-You can start a new WIP during this month. However, if you do so they are added to your list of WIPs, which means they are subject to the same rules for the challenge to be won
-The goal is to finish any works in progress, whether you started them last month, last year, or haven't touched them in 5 years. If it is a WIP of yours, you started it before, and it is not finished yet, then it is eligible for this challenge
-This is a challenge open to both fandom and original work, and if you want to adapt it to something that isn't writing you are more than welcome to use it, or make your own based on it
With that, pick your projects, and get them Done (starting on December 1st)
(Feel free to tag this blog or include the #Donecember2025 tag if you post about this, whether it be your list, progress updates, or anything else. If you have any questions feel free to throw them either in the notes or in our ask box)
