So we took a little break in October. It did the world of good for me. Now we’re back with vengeance in November for NANOWRIMO!!!
Everyone’s name should link to their website, and their twitter handle to their twitter handle. This month, we have 14 participants! It’s great to have everyone on board. Some of our regulars needed to take a hiatus, but will be back soon. Get ready to cheer each other on!
Remember - WE CAN DO THIS! GO NANO!

If there are any suggestions anyone has for making #writemotivation work better for them/us/writing, just let me know and I’ll try to incorporate them. I really have to thank everyone who helps cheer each other on month after month. Putting my goals out there to hold myself accountable is invaluable - I hope this works for other people too.
Please note: even if you aren’t signed up for #writemotivation on the list, feel free to take part in the hashtag and cheer and be cheered. Beware of flaming zombie dinosaur NINJA cookies
He might flail, but his accuracy will surprise you!
For a refresher -
The Rules:
- Make a list of realistic goals for the month - and achieve them.
- Make a Blog Post every week (Just post on any day if you can’t manage Mondays
). This is to help us keep tabs on our own progress, and for others to cheer us on if it’s a difficult week. Please link to the post in the #writemotivation hashtag - Visit your #writemotivation team mates blogs, and participate in the #writemotivation hashtag to cheer people on
