Word War Results!

[kitty_fic]

Here's some extra inspiration for the word war that is currently happening! Can you beat the total number of words written by the community last time? Do you have it in you to take first, second, or third place? Or meet your own goals and/or FINISH A THING! \o/


Here are your results for the word war that ended on 9/30!

Together we wrote36710 WORDS

The winner was tryslora, who wrote an awesome 9653 words. Followed by slashedsilver who wrote 7901 words and meglw0228 who wrote 7853
JUST LOOK AT HOW AWESOMELY PRODUCTIVE YOU WERE!

Congratulations to those who met the personal goals they set for themselves over the weekend:

SATURDAY CHECK-IN!!

[tryslora]

Saturday's done already? Half the weekend is gone! Don't worry, there's still one more day left in the weekend AND in our word war! Why don't you check in and let us know how you're doing? Intermediary check-ins are completely optional, but if you want some extra encouragement come and tell us how you are doing and encourage your fellow writers also!

Remember you can always find encouragement here, in the chatroom or in Serious Business Writing Room.

It's not too late to join in the war! Just check in at the original post right here.

So... how's it going so far?

<b>Total Word War Goal:</b> <b>New Words Written:</b> <b>Total Words So Far:</b> <b>Projects Worked On:</b> <b>If You Set Other Goals <i>(get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)</i>, Are You Progressing?</b> <b>Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)?</b>

WRITE EVERY DAY: A Challenge!

[kitty_fic]

For the next THREE WEEKS I challenge you to WRITE EVERY DAY!

They say it takes 3 weeks to make or break a habit! (Whether that is true or not, we are going to go for it!)

There is no minimum word count. It doesn't matter how many words you write each day. It can be 1000, 500, 100, or even just 25 words! Even if you just edit a couple of words in or out of your current project - that counts too! The key is to work on your writing each day... to do something towards your goal and keep writing front and center in your mind!





I'll have mini-inspirational reminders for you along the way, plus we'll have our regularly scheduled word wars, SRS BZNZ writing chats, a Halloween challenge and all of our other regular activities to help inspire you along the way for the next 21 days!

And a bonus for those of you doing NANO, it will take you right into the beginning of November and get you off to a flying start on that even bigger challenge with your new habit hopefully set in stone.


What happens if you don't write every day? If you forget, no worries - just jump in and write the next day or the next! I'll have awards for those of you that make it through the entire challenge without missing a day! But I'll also have a little something for all who give it a try - something different depending on your level of success!


Comment below to take the pledge and sign up to join us as we make daily writing a habit!

While you're there, please share any success you may have had with daily writing in the past!
