GYWO 2013: One More Sell

Jan. 18th, 2013 at 3:18 PM

Dear Friends, you have a little more than 2 DAYS to sign up for GYWO 2013. If you're a writer on my flist, I would love for you to sign up. This is (probably) the last year we will be running this and I want you to join me for writing this year. Am I going to guilt trip you right now? YOU BET I AM.

Look at the other people on my flist who have already signed up!

Don't you want to have fun with us???

Okay, in all seriousness: GYWO isn't nearly as high stress as people make it out to be. Yes, writing to a word-count goal can be stressful, but you'll have 200 other people supporting you in your writing, encouraging you to sit down and write, and celebrating with you when you do write. There will be posts all year about the writing process and craft, advice from people who've been there, and opportunities to just get your writing troubles off your chest! We have word wars that are available to members only, a private chat, and prompts and challenges over the year. Also: If you don't make your writing goal, it's okay! The important thing is that you made progress—any progress—and we'll be here to help you make it.

Won't you join me? Sign-ups end January 20.

I can certainly see that as a reason not to join. And I think some people expect us to rely heavily on members making posts about their progress, however, the only membership requirement is that you check in with your YTD word count total once a month during the check-in. Check-ins can be excused in advance, and missing an occasional check-in isn't a problem. If you miss 3 in a row, you'll be removed from the community for the year, but there are no other penalties. We make it as easy as possible to check-in—same time every month, and the posts are tagged so they can be tracked—so if hearing that makes it sound more doable, I hope you'll sign up!
