MTB Challenge

This is currently not running, but we may return to it at some point in the future. Here are the rules, for when we do return to the MTB Challenge.

Manuscript Time Block challenge. Every MTB consists of:

  • 30 minutes spent in the MS
  • thinking, writing, plotting, editing, planning

CHALLENGE

  • 30 minutes = 1 MTB
  • 1 MTB = 1 entry
  • Multiple entries are encouraged

Report your progress either at writersblockchallengebybecca at gmail dot com or on our Discord server. The coaching slots are put up by our coaches. Some months, there are multiples, and some months, there is only one. One entry will be selected for each of the coaches who are volunteering to give away free coaching that month. Winners will be contacted via Discord DM, or via email as they win. You’re eligible to win once every six months (meaning if you win one month, we’ll re-draw if your name comes up, until six months has passed).

Winners are selected randomly.

Facebook, Crowdcast, YouTube, Patreon, are not responsible for these giveaways. They’re open internationally and nationally, according to local rules. Void where prohibited.

** Again, as of 2026, this challenge is currently closed. Please check back for new information at a later date. **

You can enter both the 30 for 30 challenge and the MTB challenge in the same month.

We no longer select the winners live (hopefully if the old videos are saying that, we’ve found them, but not all those videos have been taken down). Please ask us if you have questions. Thank you!

Free Workshops
on the Crowdcast

Occasionally, we do old workshops with Becca live on the channel, answering questions.

If you’ve been considering coaching or classes and you’re uncertain about how to proceed, the live Q&As are a great place to check out. You also get a chance to see the rest of the community at work, and see how you like the feel and the flow.

Follow us on Crowdcast to get notified about public events!.
