Here's something

[alisanne]

So I've done a thing and it's all lq_traintracks' and corvidology's faults.

Ever since the ~events of 2015, I've never got back to my previous writing levels of 300 to 350K a year, so I'm hoping this community will allow me to get some words done!

Anyone care to join me?
There are various writing goals, from 75 to 500K, so something for everyone.
What do you say?

I seriously looked at the habit pledges, but it felt like adding an extra layer of stress, and since I already record my writing in a diary I decided against it. I'm completely impressed at your current level of output.

[alisanne]

My current level feels ~okay, and we'll see what this year's WC words out to be, but I feel as if this community could help poke in the direction of writing more? I do better when it's competitive, even if I'm just competing with myself.

Thanks! :)

I'm doing it again! I've done it the last couple years and it's been really nice to keep track and the spreadsheet is so great. I'm really happy you're doing it too!

[alisanne]

Thanks!
I am excited! And I'm hoping it inspires me to write more. ;)

[corvidology]

I don't often take part in the activities but seeing them pop up and being required to report in every month serve as a great reminder that I should be doing something.

[alisanne]

Do they remind you to report in?
Because I'll need to be poked. :)

[corvidology]

Yes, they do remind you and you have up until the 5th of the following month to comply.

They also provide accumulative spreadsheets, complete with a graph, if you wish to use it.

[alisanne]

Sounds fun!
And I like graphs. :)

Ooh, I like the look of this (from all angles... that website is seriously right up my alley. Simple and functional!). I think I would be a great 2018 project for me (though I should certainly start at "light"). Thanks for posting about it!

[alisanne]

Yay! I'm hoping you join me in this.
I think it could be good. <3
