Writing is hard

[amberdreams]

but encouragement like this makes it seem a bit easier.

Days written: 28
Days written pledged number or more: 27
Total month's count: 11,449
Percent pledged amount written: 395%
YTD count: 114,599

October's total wasn't great but I'm well chuffed with my year to date one!

If anyone on my flist isn't in the 12mowrimo community and thinks they might like to join us next year, let me know. It's a friendly gang of writers ably looked after by de_nugis and Statified by monicawoe. You pledge each month to write your target amount of words per day, which can be anything you like, from 100 words upwards. Then you log each day's count and cheer each other on to glory. If we do as we have in previous years, each member can nominate one person to join the comm.

I think that's a fabulous idea! :D And well one you :) Even if you weren't chuffed with October's you still did way more than me :)

I'd like to join next year please :)

Grand! It's like Nano but all year round - so if we recruit this time I'll let you know! It probably won't be until Jan/Feb time.

Not a problem, it would just be nice to have a stick poking me when I feel like procrastinating instead of creating :)

If you wind up needing two invites, you can use mine. I have never used it. Most of my Flist are from 12mowrimo, 1_million_words, or have no interest in joining.

Oh thanks, I'll let you know!

Go you! I feel like I haven't written (or what's more properly thought about writing) in ages. I always keep putting it off to the weekend because of work stress, but then spend the weekend netflixing my way through a shut off brain. I did make an effort today to go for a walk for a couple of ours in the woods with music in my ears and story in my thoughts, but I feel the inertia of consuming instead of creating because the former is so much easier than the latter is just not letting me go. But I am so happy that you exceeded a stretch goal seems like *g*!

I understand totally! At the moment I crave to be a sponge and just soak up stuff but I've got some targets to meet so I can't really do that. I feel I need a holiday from myself somehow!
