It’s now November and that means it is time for our **Blogging Challenge**!
Based on the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) Challenge, this challenge is the tech and non-tech take on writing and working together towards the goal while posting on our own blogs.
This month’s challenge will take place in #monthly-challenge and #content-creation. Our initial goal is to hit 50,000 words as a community, but don't worry, there'll be a stretch goal if we shoot past it! Do make sure you fill out the form linked on the challenge page so we can track your contribution towards our goal.
You can check out the full challenge details, check out resources to help you, and find the form [here](https://virtualcoffee.io/monthlychallenges/nov-2024).
@Leo will be running weekly async check-ins starting next Friday.
