Do you struggle to write every day? Come join an accountability team and compete for the prize of most consistent writers!

Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Reply to this message seeking an accountability partner, or reply to another user’s request. Each team must consist of exactly two members.

2️⃣ This coming week, keep track of the number of days you have spent at least fifteen minutes working on your book, blog, or other writing project. The number of successful days is your score.

3️⃣ Add your score together with your partner’s. The maximum number of points a team can earn is 14.

4️⃣ Next week on Sunday, a new announcement will be posted. One member of your team must reply with the team’s score. Be honest. If you lie, your pants will spontaneously burst into flames.

5️⃣ The team with the highest score will be declared the winner! In the event of a tie, the winning team will be chosen randomly.

Remember, the goal is not to write a million words. Rather, the goal is consistency—writing every day.

🎉 Prizes! 🎁🏆

  • Bragging rights

  • Becoming a better writer

  • Two links of your choice (one from you and one from your partner) will be pinned in a comment at the top of the following week’s announcement.

This week’s competition will begin once we have at least two teams signed up.

Happy writing!

    I’m available if someone would like a partner although it’s unlikely that I’ll be a high performing partner (2-3 times a week would be my estimate).

      Welcome aboard! I’ll be your partner 🙃 (but I’ll step aside if anyone else shows up and needs a partner)

      Let’s PM each other at the end of each day – just a simple message saying whether you wrote today or not. This competition will run from Monday (7/17) through Sunday (7/24).

      Don’t worry… I’m also not terribly consistent, which is why I created this community in the first place 😉.

        I’m using the Memmy app and can’t seem to figure out how to pm (lol) but I achieved no writing today! Haha.

        I’m hoping for a better show tomorrow.

          I just sent you a message. The messaging system on Lemmy is a bit clunky, so let me know if you want to switch to another service. I have email, google hangouts, LINE, and What’s App. Let me know which one you prefer :).

            Yeah, I’m using an app where I can’t seem to access the messaging (though I logged in on desktop just to see where it was/what it looks like so I did get your message). Haha. Do you use discord at all? (Also for the record I continue my streak of contributing nothing to our score. Lolol).
