Looking for a daily writing challenge with flexibility? Short on writing time for a particular project? Or are you motivated to write but have an unpredictable schedule? I started the 250, 500 or 1000 Words A Day Challenge for those who want to work on a particular writing project but are finding it hard to find the time because of (1) a day job, (2) parental duties, (3) bill-paying freelance work, or (insert YOUR reason here).
If you have no trouble writing thousands of words a day, then I encourage to skip the rest of this post. 🙂 To those people: if you must post a comment, I’d appreciate you posting encouragement or advice rather than “I don’t need this challenge because *I* write 5,000+ words a day.” Thanks. 🙂
BASIC IDEA:
1. Pick a goal: 250, 500 or 1000 words a day.
2. Aim to write that many words a day. It’s up to you whether or not to make your goal public or not. Feel free to use one of the badges I’ve provided. Also feel free to follow/comment on the Facebook page.
3. If life gets in the way, then put the Challenge on hold. Try not to do this more than a few times a year if at all possible. DON’T try to “catch up” when you get back.
To others like me, who have other work or activities that usually have to get first priority, I encourage you to check out how to participate in my 250, 500 or 1000 Words A Day Challenge. You can also follow my 250, 500 or 1000 Words A Day Facebook Page for motivating tips, advice and to exchange encouragement with fellow writers taking the challenge.
Good luck!
