dswdianeI won't really be starting to host this enterprise until day after tomorrow, but thought I'd go ahead an welcome those who will be coming here. Thanks so much to
<user name=sanguinity> who hosted both the second half of April and the first half of May. I'll be starting the second half of May on 5/16. I'm EDT (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) of USA. So I'll maybe be posting daily earlier than some of you are used to.
What Is Write Every Day?
A roving writing support community, with a bias toward encouraging a daily writing habit. It's a decentralized community, without moderators or a fixed home; hosting duties are passed around among members of the community.zwei_hexen keeps a list of who volunteered to host when.
Who can participate?
Anyone! Drop in on any check-in post to say that you wrote that day. If you want to talk about victories, challenges, or process, feel free to do that, too. If you'd like to cheer on or commiserate with another commenter, please do -- conversation is encouraged!
What kind of writing?
Whatever you like. I'm here to help you meet your goals, not set them for you.
How much do I need to write?
Any amount counts. The traditional minimum unit is the so-called "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: editing, transcription, outlining, and other activities that get you closer to a finished draft all count, too. If you think it counts, it counts.
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 check in on 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 will list the people who checked in for that day, and I publish the updated tally in every check-in post, so you can double-check my work.
Housekeeping
As host, I'll be publishing daily check-in posts, distributing encouragement in the comments, and keeping a tally of who checked in what day. As I said above I'm in EDT, and plan to post the daily check-in during my evening. (About when this post went up.) I know my proposed posting time might be early for many people, so don't feel you have to wait for the new day's post -- just check in on the most recent post whenever is convenient for you. Whatever post you use, please include what day you're checking in for, so I can keep the tally straight.
I'll also be using a consistent tag for these check-in posts ("write every day") so feel free to block or follow that, depending on your interest.
If you have any questions, or wish to check-in ahead of tomorrow's post, the comments are open! Welcome!
