Hone Your Skills at Craft with Conquer the Draft Challenge

If you're looking to put some serious work into improving on the craft of writing, DIY MFA

has a great challenge coming up in August called Conquer the Draft.

From August 1-29 they will email you one prompt per day, then finish off the month with a 2-day virtual writing retreat.

What really makes it interesting is that they've designed a series of writing exercises not just to inspire you and get your creativity going, but also to help improve your writing. Each prompt targets a specific technique or element of craft so that by the end of the month, hopefully not only will you be writing more but you'll be writing better.
