The age group with the most finishers was the 16-18 group. 25 of them finished, and combined they wrote 1,246,624 words. Per writer, that's an average of 49,864.96 words. Not bad at all!

The age group with the most words per person was the 19-21 group. 10 of them finished with a cumulative 638,955 word count, which breaks down to 63,895.5 per writer.

But the 12 and under group was right at their heels with an awesome 59,347.75 per writer. We had 4writers ages 12 and under complete the challenge with a combined 237,391 words.

Those ages 13-15 had 24 finish, and wrote a combined 1,273,624 words, which is 53,067.66 words per person.

The Old Fogies had 3 who completed the challenge, writing a combined 149,368 words together and averaging 49,789.33 words per writer. 

Super proud of everyone who finished! They'll receive 30 rewards points from me and Jill along with our respect. 100 words everyday for 100 days is a lot harder than it sounds!



Don't forget, the Go Teen Writers book is on sale for just another couple days, so snag your .99 ebook while you can.

And if you live in the Kansas City metro area, I'll be doing a book signing at Groundhouse Coffee in Gardner, Kansas this Saturday (December 7th) from 1:00 to 3:00pm. I'll have all my books there available for purchase, or you can bring your own copies from home. Or I'll sign your coffee cup. Whatever. I would love to see you there!

  1. I couldn't participate this time around because I was editing, but I'm super excited to join in the next one, whenever that may be! Very happy for everyone who tried! Even if you only made it a week, you still wrote 700 words you otherwise wouldn't have. :) Way to go everyone. (Especially the 16-18 age group. I was routing for you!)

  6. Congratulations everyone! Wish I could have taken part but with exams and edits it would have been a living nightmare. The last one was so much fun, though! Hopefully I'll be able to do the next one :)

  9. I hate to be super picky, but it does say "the 12 and under group was right at their heals"
    Shouldn't that be "heels"?

    1. Hi Kelsey! Welcome!

      I'm obviously not Mrs. Williamson or Mrs. Morrill, but these are usually hosted twice a year, I believe. Hope you can join us for the next one!
