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!

    @earthseedle@lemmy.world and @Lakija@lemmy.world, welcome aboard!

    Interest in this announcement is starting to die down (that’s life in a small community), so we might not get another team for you to compete against. Let’s go ahead and get started, because there’s no time like the present to sit down and write! If another team shows up within the next day or two, we’ll figure out a way to modify the rules to squeeze them in.

    This competition will run from Monday (7/17) through Sunday (7/24). Be sure to keep track of the number of days you wrote for at least fifteen minutes within that range.

    I’ll post an announcement next week on Sunday, where you can reply with your score. In the event that you don’t have any competitors, I’ll pick a random number between 1 and 14. If your score is higher than that number, you win!

    Edit: We have another competitor… hooray!
