Write Every Day: introduction
Heads-up to my followers: I'm going to be hosting Write Every Day this next month. This daily check in has helped me tremendously with my own writing over the past one or two years, so I figured it was time to pay back. Expect to see daily posts all February long, and please feel free to join in at any time!
What Is Write Every Day?
A roving writing support community, with a bias toward encouraging a daily writing habit. It's a decentralized affair, without moderators or a fixed home; monthly hosting duties are passed around among members of the community.
Who can participate?
Anyone! Drop in on any check-in post to say that you wrote that day. If you want to talk about victories, challenges, or process, feel free to do that, too. If you'd like to cheer on or commiserate with someone else, please do -- conversation is encouraged!
What kind of writing?
Whatever you like. I'm here to help you meet your goals, not set them for you.
How much do I need to write?
Any amount counts. The traditional minimum unit is the so-called "alibi sentence" -- a single sentence that lets you check in and say you've written today. But you don't have to write new words, either: editing, transcription, outlining, and other activities that get you closer to a finished draft all count, too.
How often do I have to check in?
Drop in or out at any time, or check in for several days at once, if you like. Just say what day(s) you're checking in for, so I can keep the tally straight.
What does the tally look like?
For each day, I list the people who checked in that day, and I publish the tally-to-date in every check-in post. (Please keep an eye on whether I got you down correctly!)
Welcome! As host, I'll be publishing daily check-in posts, distributing encouragement in the comments, and keeping a tally of who checked in what day. I'm in Central European Time (UTC +1), and plan to post the daily check-in post during my morning. If you say nothing else, I'll assume you mean to check in for the day the post is made for. If you mean to check in for another day, say so. Feel free to follow me just for the duration of February, if you want.
