springwrite

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know about this.

You've heard of Nanowrimo, 1667 words in 30 days to produce a 50,000 word novel, and 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 springwrite!

The goal is 150,000 words at the end of 4 months which works out to be 1250 words a day. This is a continuation in the seasonwrite series so if you've been part of autumnwrite or summerwrite we would love to have you here as well, and if not please come join the fun! ;) 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. Also you don't have to hit the daily quota either. Every word counts so don't be afraid to join because you don't think you can write "that much." You'd be surprised what you can accomplish. I know we have been. ;) :D

We have in the works banners and awards for highest monthly individual word count, team count, overall highest individual and team word count, most active team and a team work award, all of which are outlined in the awards post. Also there will be participation and quota banners for each month so if you like to collect the "shinies" we try to offer something for everyone. ;)

The number of teams will be set on December 30th, but any one who stumbles onto autumnwrite after the start date will be placed on a team or may join as an individual if they want.

This was all inspired by summerwrite with sister comm autumnwrite which is just finishing up. \0/

If you're interested, hurry and sign up before December 30th if you can, but people are welcome to join at any point!

The FAQ's here.

The Sign Up post is here.

The list of offered awards is here

Feel free to pimp this everywhere!
