JanYourStory
JanYourStory is an annual writing challenge. This January, we completed our inaugural year—and it was so special! 1500 writers participated in some way, shape, or form. We’re already thinking about all the ways we can build on our momentum for JanYourStory 2027.
JanYourStory is a way your present self can better serve your future self—who wants you to write your story.
For now, we invite you to sign onto our Community where you’ll find JanYourStory details from 2026. Since this event is over, we’re leaving you with some images from our Keep It Going Party, and Grant and Brooke celebrating 31 days of writing in January 2026.
If you participated in JanYourStory, grab your commemorative t-shirt!
Also, you can still get your participation badge by navigating to JanYourStory in the Community and going to JanYourStory Daily Actions to the very last action: “Guess What? It's Time to Celebrate YOU!”
We’re already looking forward to next year! In the meantime, become a member, write with us all year long, attend classes and join groups. We’re excited to have you be a part of Memoir Nation.
