The 365 Plus Writing Challenge (#365writeplus)
Introduction
I believe that if you want to write, you should be writing every single day. When you force yourself to write daily, you start finding it easier to sit down and write. I have also personally found that writing daily has greatly upped my word count. I can usually handle 2000 words in a day unless I'm starting in on something new.
My Promise
1. I will provide a writing prompt around every Friday to help those struggling.
2. I will share occasional tips and tricks that worked for me and others.
3. I will help get 100 people to the point of 365+ days of consecutive days of writing.
4. I will prove that this works by getting myself published.
What I Can't Promise
I cannot promise to have a post up every Friday. I work on Fridays. I take vacations. I sometimes work overtime. These things can make it very difficult to getting a post up on Friday.
What counts as daily writing?
For me, it is one written word on a piece of fiction or non-fiction that I choose to write. So for those of you who have to write TPS reports or articles for newspapers, these only count if that's why you are taking up this challenge.
How do I participate?
There are two ways to participate. The first way is to post a twitter on Friday. You need to include two things in your twitter. Include how many days of writing you have reached and include the tag #365writeplus. If you want to include a daily goal and #writegoal, that's fine too. The other way to participate is to post a comment to this blog posting with your current daily count and anything else you feel like sharing.
Writing Prompt
A stranger has just reached an inn in the middle of a violent storm
Bonus Challenge:
Write this scene in the first person perspective
Special Writing Challenge
If I get 5 people to twitter a #365writeplus challenge, I'll share my scene from the above writing prompt in the morning on Saturday.
