Write500-Motivation #1

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new year of productivity and creativity!

Today is the first day of the #write500 challenge! I want to encourage and support writers this year, by pushing everyone to try and write 500 words a day, for however long it takes to finish your current project!

As you begin, try to view the challenge not as an obstacle, but an opportunity! This is a chance to renew your creative energy, to band together with other writers to reach your goals!

If enough people are interested, I am happy to set up a discord server in the future to be able to chat about our current projects.

If you’re interested in joining, feel free to comment below! I will be making motivational posts about 2-3 times per week, but you are free to message me at anytime if you need encouragement/help. I love hearing about your stories!

Be sure to tag your progress as #write500 (and feel free to tag me!)

Here’s to a bright new year. I wish you all success and happiness in 2019!

#write500 Day 1

@pen-and-sword-writing invited people to join them to write 500 words per day in 2019. I will do this as well, as long as it takes to finish my first draft. Which means I will write at least 15,500 words in January.

I’m currently around the 80% mark in my wip, so I hope to finish my first draft before my birthday in April. I think I have around 25-30,000 words to go, worldbuilding included.

Feel free to poke me if I haven’t reported any writing in a while, motivate me or join me.

Day one. Here we go. *salutes you and opens Word*

#write500 day 5

The day before yesterday I wrote almost 1,000 words, but not on my wip. I’m counting them towards my write500 anyway. Writing words is writing words. Yesterday I didn’t write anything. I slept almost the whole day. Ah well.

Today, I worked on The Magical Library again. I wasn’t feeling it when I began, but I learned from NaNoWriMo that you can still be productive if you’re not feeling it. Whip that muse, court that muse, pet your muse tenderly and braid her hair. But not too long, because you’ve got work to do.

I started at 20.6% of 15,500 and I wanted to reach 25% today, because for some reason I get really motivated by round numbers, haha. I guess I’m not the only one. And, as you can tell, I surpassed that goal. Yay! It seems like 500 words per writing session is not ambitious enough. If I keep this up for the entire month, I’m thinking of pushing my goal to 1,000 per writing session.

Words written today: 1,812 of 500 - I still have NaNoWriMo in my fingers

January total: 5,015 of 15,500 (32,4%) - double the pace I planned!
