I have a lot of work to do on my book. But I know I don't always write everyday or if I do it's sometimes just notes and no where near 1000 🙈 😥 may try just to write everyday as that would be a good incentive for me :)
Hello!!! I wasn't super consistent, but I think I did alright with 8913 words over the month. Way more than I've done in the past, since I'm new at this! Are we using the same Google sheet for September?
I usually average like 1500 words a day. It's just much nicer and more dopamine-inducing to track my words on a spreadsheet like this, and its more motivating to see everyone else do it.
Yes I'm in. The August challenge really kickstart my motivation and consistency.
My goal is not 1000 words every day, but write every day!

Join in anyway, even if you don't manage it every day or just write a few sentences it'll help keep you motivated :)
Ok Cool :)
I see what you’re doing here, Mr. Illroy. 😏 and I am so in!
McIllroy… sorry 😂

You did great Vedi! It's a different sheet but the same format. You can access it through the button above :)
Found it! Thanks David, looking forward to being part of this. Gotta cross the 8k at least hahah
Give it your best shot Vedi! 😁
I'm really looking forward to joining the challenge this month. I loved writing every day as part of the challenge in August 😁
Awesome Natasha! :D
Working on Medium posts and possibly more Substack ones as well!
Hi David, I just learned of your challenge yesterday (hope you had a good off day!) I’m in. Thank you !
This sounds like a fun challenge! I'm in!
I need to edit a little and create a cover in my book. I’m converting my Google docs to Reedy to make my book come to life. Whooo Hoo!
Do you have any suggestions for creating simple covers? I know about Canva but any other programs.
Oh, I have no excuses my friend. You already know ya girl, Netta is on board for this month and going forward. Let’s make September amazing 💪🏾
Canva is a good option. You can also use affordable services like GetCovers if you don’t want to design it yourself.
Thank you so much my friend. I’m ecstatic. Finishing up day one now 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Oooooo, I'm in, looking forward to this challenge!!
Ya'll have a good time but I will pass. Football season is here, and I don't believe I can keep my attention span focused that long.
I'm in! I have some days travelling at the end of the month, plus my dad's 80th, but I am in!
I'll join as well, need to get my writing going, to push myself to meet some deadlines 🤟
is it ok to do 1000-word per week instead?
Sure!
I was *in awe* of the people who managed to do this in August. August! The month pretty much defined by the absence of routines! Amazing.

A challenge like this (I was team Crayon) is what launched me as a writer for EXACTLY this reason ... dopamine!
