Morning Pages · A small beta

October Mornings

A writing challenge and a small experiment in writing together.

1–31 October 2026 · Free to join

Anastasia

Hi, I’m Anastasia.

I make Morning Pages app.

I’d like to start a community around the people who write here regularly. Let’s begin with one month of writing together.

Why I’m trying this

I’m curious whether seeing others show up, even just as nicknames, makes it easier to return to your own pages. This first experiment is through the app and email, and I’d love to hear what you’d want from it.

01

Your daily pages

Your word goal.
Any time of day.

02

A note from me

One email each morning.
Reply whenever you like.

03

A little reward

All 31 days earns a month
of Pro features + the beta badge.

How it works

Write at your own word goal each day from 1 to 31 October. Any time within your local day counts.

I’ll send a short email each morning in October. You can reply to tell me how it’s going or what you’d change.

Your reward: a month of Pro features and a unique badge

Complete all 31 days to earn both rewards. You can keep participating if you miss a day. Repair days don’t count toward the rewards.

From Anastasia’s morning email

You don’t have to catch up

Some mornings I spend longer avoiding my pages than writing them. If that’s you today too, start there. “I don’t feel like writing because…” counts as a beginning.

  • just.one.page 8 / 31 days
    ✓ Wrote today 2,860 words
  • Sleepy Fox · You 6 / 31 days
    ✓ Wrote today 3,240 words
  • Sophie 6 / 31 days
    A new page awaits 4,120 words

Illustrative activity and progress.

Your pages stay private, now and always.
Sharing your nickname, completed days, and word count is optional.

A few practical questions

How do I connect the app to the challenge?

Connect your app so your writing days count toward your rewards and update your progress on the optional board.

  1. Open Morning Pages and go to Profile → Settings.
  2. Choose “Joined our beta writing challenge? Connect this device”
  3. Enter the same email you used to join the challenge.

Don’t see the option? Update the app first.

Joined inside the app? Your device is already connected.

Joining after 1 October? Your pages from the start of the month count once connected.

How can I share feedback?

Just reply to any of my challenge emails. Does seeing other people’s word counts help you return to your pages, or does it feel like pressure? I’d love to hear either way, along with anything else you’d change. A sentence is enough, even if you stop taking part.

Does the writing have to happen in the morning?

Morning is the invitation. What counts is reaching your word goal inside the local day shown in the app.

What if a day is missed?

You can keep writing and receiving the emails. Both rewards require all 31 days; repair days do not count.

Two devices?

Without an account, the device that confirmed the email counts the mornings. With an account, any device signed in to it does.

Leaving?

Any time, from the card in the app or by unsubscribing from the notes. Pages stay in Morning Pages.
