Got words to write? Let’s do this! This contest is a writing sprint that lasts all day long! The sprint is all about getting some writing done and as much as possible on the given day. But do keep in mind, there’s absolutely no pressure! This is just for motivation and a small push for your own writing progress, with a few awards up for grabs. ;D

Start and End: Saturday, April 12


Guidelines


  • Claim your spot and sign up before/on the starting day.
  • If you’d like to get a reminder tag a day before, let it know in your post!
  • This contest is restricted to the given day only, therefore only writing done on this day counts!
  • Add your total word count in your post, update as many times as you like on the day only.
  • Have fun!!


Awards

You know, ଳjellyfishଳ can't swim or shine on their own, but once they absorb light from around them, they're able to shine for themselves! So maybe...I can, too! If I'm around you, maybe I'll be able to shine, too? -

Spot real quick!
Word Count: 629 in an hour (I wasn't able to participate in the all-day part of this writing sprint due to all of the running around town my family and I did today, but I'm pleased with the result I managed to get in so little time.)

If you did some writing yesterday, do update your post so you can still receive your participant badge. If not, don't worry, there's another writing sprint coming up :]

Another writing sprint coming soon, April 19!
