Announcing #15in15, A New Motivation to Write in the New Year!
2014 is coming to a close and 2015 is upon us, which means many of us make a vow to change our ways in a New Year’s Resolution. This being a writing site, we imagine many of you are planning to write more in 2015, so we decided to help!
In fact, we’re making the resolution for you: write 15 minutes a day every day. That’s it. So simple, yet it establishes a habit that will make you a better writer. The more you write, the more you’ll improve!
Starting January 1, share what you wrote in a status with the hashtag #15in15. You don't have to publish it, just tell us what you wrote. For example "Today I wrote a scene in my novel" or "Today I wrote about how much I hate snow" or "Today I used the Random Story Generator to give me ideas". It doesn’t matter what you write, just keep writing!
Everyone who participates will get a badge, with special badges for those who log the most consecutive days and the most days in a month. There will also be a badge for when we reach 100 statuses!
Stay tuned in February for a contest where you can submit your best work from your January efforts!
