This course was wonderful: professional, well executed, and engaging.
“I’m a professor at a major university in a STEM field, so I have a lot of experience with teaching and technical writing. I’ve been writing all my life. I especially liked having both video and text versions of the lessons, plus the bonus material and the daily journaling exercises. I don’t do much social media anymore, but even the Day One 24-hour Social Media Detox helped me see that I wanted to be more intentional about what I watch on YouTube, Netflix, and elsewhere. The links to other LegendFiction material were genuinely helpful, never overwhelming or pushy. This is something I’ll come back to in the years ahead, both in my writing journal and in your original material. Really well done.

The Legends 7-Day Writing Challenge
A schoolgirl once asked C.S. Lewis how to write.
He replied with remarkably practical rules: read good books, write with your ear, be clear, protect abandoned work, and know what your words mean.
Hi, I'm Dominic, founder of LegendFiction (not the handsome fella seen here...) After years of writing, teaching, and leading writers through challenges, we have a new challenge he didn't foresee: an overwhelmed, burned-out attention span.
I also have ADD. So finding systems and figuring out a healthy headspace is more than a nice idea. It's a necessity. This 7-day challenge develops Lewis’s advice, and guides you through a practical, social media detox.
Inside are the routines, stories, and hard-won lessons that have strengthened my own writing life. With short videos and guided journal prompts, you can reclaim your focus, trust your ideas, and turn seven essential practices into a writing habit that lasts.
Built for writers who want momentum without another marathon
This is for you if
Your attention disappears before you write.
You want a realistic way to protect creative energy without pretending the internet does not exist.
This is for you if
You keep second-guessing your prose.
You want practical ways to hear weak sentences, clarify meaning, and choose stronger words.
This is for you if
Your ideas feel scattered or stale.
You want to rediscover what genuinely fascinates you instead of chasing what you think you should write.
This is for you if
Big challenges make you quit before you begin.
You want seven small wins, not more pressure. Most challenges take less time than one TV episode.
