autumnwrite

[catw00man.livejournal.com]

You've heard of Nanowrimo, 1667 words in 30 days to produce a 50,000 word novel, a piece of your day is set aside so your fingers can fly like the wind. Ever wanted something longer? More of a challenge? Just wanted to write more than one month?

Now's your chance with autumnwrite!

The goal is 150,000 words at the end of 4 months which works out to be 1230 words a day. Nanoers, have no fear. Your words for Nano also count here. If you're really ambitious, you could even try doing Nano's 1667 AND autumnwrite's 1230. That's all up to you. ;) It doesn't matter what you work on either. A novel, multiple short pieces, multiple series, etc. Whatever you want. As long as you're writing every day, that's all we're after.

We have in the works banners for highest monthly individual word count, team count, overall highest individual and team word count, everyone who completes 150,000 and for Nano participants with more in the works.

The number of teams will be set on August 31st, but any one who stumbles onto autumnwrite after the start date will be placed on a team if they want.

This was all inspired by summerwrite with sister comm springwrite launching this spring. Then it's time for summerwrite once again. \0/

If you're interested, hurry and sign up before August 31st, but people are welcome to join at any point!

The FAQ's here.

The Sign Up post is here.

Feel free to pimp this everywhere!

Argh! Are you totally trying to ruin my thesis writing!!! *rips hair out of her head*

Um yeah, okay I got that out of me. I just find it really hard to resist things like this. A very tempting idea. 1230 words per day isn't really that much *ponders* Have to give this some thought...

*giggles*

It really isn't as bad as it sounds. It really helps to make you more disciplined. ;) But yeah, we plan on running this year round with the three "season writes." Also we are trying to set it up so people can join late, come and go...just trying to figure out how to set up points for that! LOL Anyway, if this one isn't for you you're always welcome to join us for springwrite :)

Hmmh, I wonder if I could use this for my thesis. I could set a goal to write at least part of the daily 1230 words towards my thesis. Would that be acceptable?

Hmmh, I guess it would be a bit weird. These are just thoughts that pop into my head late at night *g* Luckily I still have a few days to think about this. And of course there's always the spring one...


Lovely icon!

You know, honestly, we really don't care what you write. Our goal is to help people get in the routine of writing daily so if that writing is for your thesis we don't mind at all. We just want word count, where ever it comes from. ;)

Also if you change your mind later we are still accepting people once we begin.
