Welcome to the 500 thread, where sometimes we're serious and sometimes we're silly but we're always writing!
The purpose of this thread is to support each other while we attempt to write each day. Whether your goal is 500 words a day or 2000, or if you're editing or merely want to cheer us on, you're welcome!
Please, no self-promotion for books or anything else here. Keep on topic to writing. Off-topic stuff goes into the Braggatorium or Life of Crime and Chocolate.
How did you do in June? What are your goals for July?
And now! In addition to the regular support thread, we introduce the Challenge. This is in addition to the support thread, and you in no way are required to participate. The Challenge is a competitive race to see who can accumulate the most words in one month. We've done this in the past and it's a blast. Here are The Rules:
The Rules:
1. Word Count is key. No minimum. (example: if you only get 20 words for the day, it still counts.)
2. The person with the highest WC in a day gets bragging rights for that day.
3. All participants are on the honor system.
4. All participants must have a counter or post their total WC somewhere in their signature.
5. Contest will end at midnight EST on the last day of the month.
6. Winner is the person with the highest WC for the month. Prize is bragging rights. Use them wisely.
And that's it. Let us know if you're in, both by mentioning it in-thread and by starting a word count in your sig line.
So whether you're here to write at your own pace, to challenge others to the race, or just to cheer, welcome to July!
It's gonna be a hot one.
Or, er, a cold one. Depending on where you are in the world.
