Write Every Day: Day 1

In December, I am hosting Write Every Day. What is this, you ask?

What is the Write Every Day challenge?
Write Every Day is just what its name says: We challenge each other to write, every single day. Our goal is to encourage one another and provide the accountability and/or motivation that some of us find very useful in keeping the words flowing. However, there's no obligation and no pressure, and if writing didn't happen for you on any given day, there won't be any judgement, just support and sympathy!

Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether you have participated before!

What do I have to do?
I’ll post each day and keep a running tally of participants. All you need to do is drop by the comments on the most recent entry to let us know how you’re doing. Please know that you are never obligated to check in. Also, if you'd like to comment on someone else's comment but aren't checking in for yourself, that's perfectly fine too. We're really easygoing 'round here, and conversation is absolutely encouraged.

Is there a word limit or quota?
Nope. Write as little as an “alibi” sentence (just what it sounds like—a sentence you write to say you’ve written, an alibi for the day, as it were) or as much as you’d like. All word counts are welcome!

Is there any restriction on the kind of writing I can do?
No! Fanfiction, original fiction, screenplays, DW posts, meta, academic writing, reviews, editing, letter-writing, nonsense poems: If you can write it, you can count it!

Do I have to participate all the time?
No! You can come and go at your pleasure.

I will (usually) be posting in the morning European time. If you don't say otherwise, I will assume that you meant to check in for the same date as the post. If you want to check in for another date, please say so. And please always use the last post for checking in, even if it's for past dates.

Alright, go forth and write! And come check in afterwards. : ) Optional question: do you have any goals for the month?

Wooo, thank you for the impetus! I wrote a smidge of a D&D-related project, which I would not have done without this post.
