Write every day: Day 1
Dec. 1st, 2025 09:53 pmIn December I am hosting Write Every Day. Welcome, everyone!
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! We’re an open-minded, nonjudgmental group of people who enjoy writing.
What do I have to do?
We’ll post each day with a little bit about our writing and a running tally of participants. All you need to do is drop by the comments on the most recent tally 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?
Absolutely not! Fanfiction, original fiction, screenplays, blog posts, meta, academic writing, morning pages, reviews, editing, letter-writing, nonsense poems, bucket list: if it feels like writing to you, it counts!
Do I have to participate all the time?
No way! You can come and go at your pleasure.
Do you have any goals for the month? Mine is to finally finish my current longfic. On Day 1, I posted the next-to-last chapter of it. All done except for the epilogue! \o/ Did you do any writing today?
Bonus farming news: if ducks eat acorns, the yolks of their eggs will be greenish! I can't taste any difference, though.

Date: 2025-12-02 05:25 pm (UTC)The fic is a Fandom Trumps Hate auction gift which I've really struggled with, to be honest -- hence still needing to finish it in December! It think it's suffered from all the academic writing I've been doing this year, which isn't leaving a lot of juice for the fun stuff.
