Day 26: Write Your Writing Manifesto
Share

Let’s plant a flag in the ground. A writing manifesto is your personal declaration of what matters to you as a writer. These truths will guide your writing long after this challenge ends. Today, we’ll craft the beliefs and principles that will serve as your compass whenever you sit down to write.

Now is the perfect moment to step back and articulate why you write and how you want to approach your creativity. A writing manifesto isn’t a lofty mission statement only reserved for best-selling authors. It’s a practical tool that sets your values, priorities, and non-negotiables as a writer.

Imagine facing writer’s block or a slump years from now. What guiding principles will remind you to keep going? What core beliefs will keep your voice honest, your stories genuine, and your daily practice rooted in what matters?

Today, we’ll distill everything you’ve learned about yourself, including your preferred routines, standards for quality, and commitment to consistency, into a concise manifesto. This document will serve as your north star for every project, draft, or creative decision you make.

Let’s get clear on the truths that will shape your writing life.
