Write 100: A 100 day journaling challenge
$9.99 to unlock Your first pack is on us.
Join the waitlistWrite 100 is a daily writing habit built around one page. Every day you write a brain dump page, anything on your mind, no editing, and then you get a fresh prompt to grow your writing. The first few days are about setup: your notebook, your writing time and your spot. Keep going and you'll have a hundred pages you did not have before.

Preview the first 7 days
Every day has 3 goals: your daily core (the same every day), Task 2 and Task 3, each with a short why. Open a day to read all three.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
Write your baseline page about a room you know
Pick one paper notebook, or one doc named Write 100. Everything in this pack goes there; this is your Write 100 notebook. On a fresh page, write one page describing a room you know well: what is in it, the light, the sounds, who uses it. Write Baseline, Day 1 at the top and do not edit it. You will write this same prompt again on Days 25, 50 and 100, revise this page on Day 75, and compare.
Why: A saved first piece gives you something real to measure your later writing against.
Task 3
Start a Contents page and log your baseline
Turn to the last page of your notebook, or the top of your doc, and title it Contents. Write one line: Day 1, Baseline room page. Through this pack you will add pieces here by day and title, so you can find any of them later.
Why: A running Contents page makes rereading, comparing and choosing favorites quick on later days.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
List what you loved as a kid and write about one
List ten things you loved at around age 8 to 10: toys, snacks, shows, hiding spots. Star the one with the strongest memory and, on a fresh page, write about it for about a page. If it helps, pick a regular time to write most days and set a reminder before you start.
Why: A list of old favorites unlocks warm, specific memories to write from.
Task 3
Find and sharpen three specific details
Reread your childhood page and underline the three most specific details, like a brand name, a color or a sound. Find one vague line, such as it was fun, and rewrite it with a detail of the same kind.
Why: Seeing which details make a page vivid teaches you to reach for them first next time.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
Make your last breakfast epic
Sit at the spot you would like to be your writing spot. On a fresh page, write your most recent breakfast as if it were the big scene in a novel: the plate, the light, the sounds and what felt at stake. Aim for ten to fifteen lines.
Why: Writing an ordinary breakfast like a key scene is playful practice in making small moments matter.
Task 3
Read your breakfast scene aloud and fix one stumble
Read the scene out loud at a normal pace. Mark any spot where you stumbled or ran out of breath, then rewrite one of those sentences so it reads smoothly. Title the piece and add it to your Contents page.
Why: Your ear catches clunky sentences your eyes skip, so reading aloud is a quick editing tool.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
Watch from a window for five minutes
Sit at a window for five minutes and just notice what you see, hear and wonder about. Then, on a fresh page, note the time and weather at the top and write it all in the order it happened.
Why: Writers are professional noticers. Five minutes at a window is practice.
Task 3
Start a Word Bank from your window page
Circle the three best words in your window page, the ones that sound or feel exactly right. Turn to a page near the back of your notebook, title it Word Bank and copy them there. You will add to it on later days.
Why: A private collection of words you love gives you options on stuck days.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
Write three good things as tiny scenes
Pick three good things from yesterday, however small. On a fresh page, give each one four or five lines as a tiny scene: where you were, one thing you could see, hear or touch, and what made it good.
Why: Turning small moments into scenes teaches you to show a moment instead of summing it up.
Task 3
Write three new first lines for your strongest scene
Choose the strongest of your three scenes. Write three different first lines for it, pick the one that pulls you in most and write it above the old opening.
Why: Openings decide whether a reader keeps going, and trying several shows how much one line can change.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
Walk a reader through a place you love
Before you start, put your phone in another room until you finish and keep a tally of each time you think of it. Choose a place you love. On a fresh page, guide a reader through it slowly, from the way in to the best spot, for about a page.
Why: Guiding a reader slowly through a place teaches you to pick the details that make somewhere feel real.
Task 3
Swap two general details for specific ones
Reread your place page and cross out two details any place could have, like nice or big. Replace them with things only this place has. Note your phone tally at the bottom.
Why: Cutting general details leaves room for the specific ones that make a place feel real.
Daily core Same every day
Write one free page
Why: Writing freely every day keeps starting easy and clears your head, so the prompt pieces get your full attention.
Task 2
Reread your first week
Light day. Reread everything from your first week and underline one line you like. On a fresh page, write a few lines on why it works.
Why: Rereading a whole week at once shows you what you are already doing well.
Task 3
Catch up your Contents page
Light day. Give a short title to each prompt piece from this week that does not have one, and list them all on your Contents page by day.
Why: A tidy Contents page means you can find any piece in seconds on checkpoint days.

How Write 100 works
What you do each day
3 goals a day. Your daily core, Write one free page, is the same every day. The other two are new each day: Task 2 builds the habit and Task 3 adds a different angle. Each one comes with a short why.
Time and effort
Most days fit around a normal day, all 3 goals together. Some days are lighter, and nothing needs to happen at a set time.
Difficulty and pace
Gentle. Starts small and builds slowly. Good if you're brand new to this. Milestone badges at 10, 25, 50 and all 100 fully completed days mark how far you came.
Easier alternatives and rest days
Most goals have an easier alternative. “Choose an easier alternative” puts it in its place, and it counts the same as the original goal: the same square, streak and rewards. A rest day protects the streak on days life happens.
Pausing or switching
With another challenge going, you can pause this one any time. Resume later and you pick up on the same day you left. Remove it instead and your history stays: ticks, notes and photos. You always keep at least one challenge going. Up to 3 packs can be active at once, your main challenge included. Active and scheduled packs count; paused, finished and not started ones don't. You can own as many packs as you like and start them later.
What you own
Unlock Write 100 on its own ($9.99 or a free credit) and it's yours forever, to replay any time. All Access opens every pack while you're subscribed. Credits never expire, so use them when you're ready.
Pack guide
How to use task details
The task title names the action. Open its details for the method and examples; Why explains the purpose. Each day has three separate boxes: a free page (the core), the day's prompt piece and a short follow up on that same piece, such as reading it back, cutting or titling it. The same words never count for two boxes. Keep everything in your Write 100 notebook, which can be paper, a doc or Journal. Linking a task to Journal is optional and does not mark it done.
Focus blocks
For any study or practice task: put your phone in another room or face down, write the one thing you will do, and set a timer for 10 to 25 minutes. When your mind wanders, notice it and come back. Stop when the timer rings and note where you got to.
Baseline and checkpoints
Day 1 saves your baseline: one page describing a room you know well. On Days 25, 50 and 100 you write that same prompt again, and on Day 75 you revise the original, then compare and choose one focus. Reading a piece aloud to yourself or recording it is always enough; sharing with someone you trust is optional.

Questions
Good to know
Do I need to be a good writer?
No. The brain dump page is stream of consciousness with no editing, so there's nothing to get right. The prompts are there to stretch you, not to grade you.
What do I write in?
Day 1 is picking your notebook, so choose one you like using. The daily core is one page.
Is my writing private?
Yes. Your notebook pages stay with you, and the app's journal is private to you.
What if I miss a day?
The app has Rest Days, so you can pick your pen back up without starting over. Your level never goes down.
