Writery Pimp

For all the many writers on my flist, there's a new comm designed to help you [livejournal.com profile] getyourwordsout. Based around the idea that the only way to write is to, you know, write, [livejournal.com profile] getyourwordsout is designed to help writers stay motivated throughout the year by offering a goal and a community.

There are 4 levels of pledges (200K, 250K, 300K, and 350K) that you can pledge to write in 2009. We're counting words from any non-bloggy writing including original fiction, fanfic, nonfiction essays, scripts, poetry, songs, um greeting cards? Basically anything that can be considered a literary work (oh yes, I just called fanfic "literary").

[livejournal.com profile] sopdetly and I are spearheading this thing so you can expect group word wars, prompts, and other little motes of advice and encouragement. (Dudes, I have ideas.)

The introduction and guidelines are here, and once you join the community you can make your pledge. I hope some of you will join us or at least spread the word. We're planning to close the comm on January 1, so you have to join before then!

Get Your Words Out!

(Yes, I totally stole the comm name from the Wonderfalls episode "Karma Chameleon." FTW! \o/ )

NEXT December. Like, when we're almost at the end and struggling for ideas to get to our wordcount?

Lies about what I meant? Or lies that we will ever be struggling? I need to know how defensive I should be. :P

LIES ARE GOOD. I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T TELL THE TRUTH ON A NIGHT LIKE TONIGHT! *pulls on hoodie*

MORE LIKE THE TRUTH MAKES YOU NAKED AND THE NIGHT IS FULL OF COLD, BUT I SUPPOSE MEETING A FROST WARNING HEAD ON WHILE NAKED WOULD BE DANGEROUS, YES.

I may be making up the frost warning. I appropriated it from [livejournal.com profile] t_usual_suspect, but she's like, 3 hours away. >.>

GOOD MAN THEN!

Where would you find cause to use something like that?
