the_siobhanWhat Is Write Every Day?
Exactly what it sounds like. Every month a different person plays host to a community who encourage each other to write on a daily basis.
zwei_hexen keeps a list of past and future hosts here. There is a need for hosts for some of the upcoming months, so feel free to sign up if you are interested in hosting.
My job as a host is to post an entry every day, keep a tally of who is participating, and in general be encouraging and supportive. I will tag every post Write Every Day so those posts are easy to skip for people who are not participating.
Who can participate?
All are welcome to comment on any check-in post to say that you wrote that day. Or didn't, maybe you wanted to write and life got in the way and you want to talk about that. Victories, challenges, process, blocks - all are good topics to raise. If you'd like to cheer on or commiserate with someone else, please do - conversation is encouraged.
What kind of writing?
Whatever you like. If you want it to count, it counts.
How much do I need to write?
Any amount counts. The traditional minimum unit is an "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: research, editing, transcription, outlining, and other activities that get you closer to a finished draft all count.
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. Please respond to the most recent post and 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!) You can use the running tally to recreate your performance for the month, but it's not going to be readily visible that one person wrote most days and another wrote only a few.
Welcome aboard!
