Welcome to Write Every Day!
Mar. 31st, 2021 01:52 pmWelcome! I'm hosting the Write Every Day Challenge for April 2021!
I've adapted most of the points below from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
zwei_hexen who have hosted in previous months.
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.
Who can participate?
Everyone is welcome! We're an open-minded, nonjudgmental group of people who enjoy writing.
What do I have to do?
I'll post each day with a little bit about my own writing and a running tally of participants. All you need to do is drop by the comments and let us know how you're doing, but please know that you are never obligated to check in. Also, if you'd like to reply to someone else's comment but aren't checking in for yourself, that's perfectly fine too. Conversation is encouraged!
Is there a word limit or quota?
Nope. Write as little as an "alibi" sentence (just what it sounds like: a sentence to say you've written, giving you an "alibi" for the day) or as much as you'd like. All word counts are welcome! You also don't have to tell us how much you've written if you don't want to, but we won't judge you either way.
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, editing, letter writing, nonsense poems: if you can write it, it counts!
Do I have to participate all the time?
No way! You can come and go at your pleasure.
New to WED? Got any questions?
Please feel free to PM me or comment on this post! I'm happy to help.

- I'm in Mountain Time (MT) and will post daily check-ins
around 6PM (check what time that is in your time zoneHERE). [EDIT as of April 10: I'll be posting around 9AM MT from here on out - the time zone converter link for that is HERE.] Please try to check in on the most recent post so I can keep everything together, and if you're checking in for a different day, or several days at once, just let me know. - I will also post two rec posts during the month - one to rec your own work (fannish or not!), and the other to rec your favorite fannish places online, so keep an eye out for those.
- All of the Write Every Day posts will be tagged "write every day" so you can track the tag, but I generally don't use Dreamwidth for anything else so feel free to subscribe to my journal if you'd prefer.
