About Do Not Stop Writing
The Free Online Writing Challenge Tool That Helps You Beat Writer's Block
Last updated: June 2026
Do Not Stop Writing is a free online writing tool designed to help writers, students, bloggers, authors, and content creators overcome writer's block and build consistent writing habits.
Unlike traditional writing apps that encourage constant editing and distractions, Do Not Stop Writing challenges users to keep writing continuously until they reach their selected goal. Whether you choose a writing timer or a word-count target, the objective remains the same: keep moving forward and focus on creating instead of perfecting.
Our platform works directly in your browser, allowing you to start writing instantly without creating an account, downloading software, or installing extensions.
This site is completely open source. You can see the complete code on our github repo.
The Team
Deepanshu Kashyap
Developer & Writer
My name is Deepanshu Kashyap, an aspiring developer and writer. I developed this tool because I got stuck in the slumber of perfectionism and was never able to complete my projects, looking to AI to help fix it.
I use this website to write whatever I want—simply putting my brain out on the page and fixing it later.
This is the original website for this idea—other tools you see online today are copies of this project.
Divya Kashyap
Co-Developer & Marketing Head
Hi, I'm Divya Kashyap, the co-developer of this website and the sister of the lead developer. I also serve as the Head of Marketing, where I focus on branding, outreach, user engagement, and helping our platform grow. I'm excited to be part of the team building and improving this website for our users.
Our only motive is to provide you one functionality, but the functionality be the best.
