I know that some of you were looking for a writing challenge to do.

WriYe

Inspired by Chris Baty's brain-child, National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), National Novel Writing Year was born in 2003: a year-long writing event that stretches your creativity and determination to an entirely different level. In 2009, however, we decided to officially drop the "NaNo" from our name to acknowledge that this is not just a National event, but instead an International one. Also, most people will be writing multiple works over the course of the year, thus rendering the "Novel" aspect as too limiting.

To participate in WriYe, first you must determine your desired goal for the year. Taking that goal, sign up for the club in which your goal fits and work towards it from 01 January to 31 December until you've reached the end.

Essentially, the clubs are for support and friendship, but know that you do not have to communicate with only those people in your club and inter-club relations are strongly encouraged

Hi.

I've been going through my list of writing challenges and sites, and have not noticed anyone in autumnwrite or springwrite.

If LJ's count is correct, there are 115 members besides me. I think the count is only people with current journals, though I'm not sure.

Ok guys, I've finally got all your April totals together! These counts are the result of the daily word count posts we have received from each of you. We have gone over and double checked everything we've been given and these are the totals as we have them. If you don't see yourself, that means we never got a comment from you on the daily word count post. This month has been closed so we won't be accepting anymore counts.

With that said, here are your counts for the month of April! :D

( April Standings: )

And now for the big number. :D

Through the month of April we have all written:

2,801,515

You made it guys! The banners should be up this weekend. :-) If you have questions please comment.

The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say.

Fight Like Hell in the War of Art by Justine Musk

I was Twitter-tagged as part of a 100-people experiment involving Hugh MacLeod. I was delighted to take part.

1

If you want to be a writer, or any other kind of artist, cartoonist, blogger and bestselling writer Hugh MacLeod has some advice for you.

It’s easy to tell somebody to get into The Zone. Much harder to live it. But fight like hell to get there, regardless, every friggin’ day, or else you’ll never make it.

The idea of the artist as a fighter, a warrior, permeates Steven Pressfield’s excellent book THE WAR OF ART:

Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance.

The Resistance is the enemy. The Resistance is procrastination, distraction, self-sabotage, a friend’s negativity, hurtful criticism, or anything else that keeps you from making art.
