Getting my words out again
Jan. 7th, 2018 12:44 pmA couple years ago I signed up for the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
getyourwordsout community, in an effort to keep my writing up all the year round. It wasn't as successful as I'd hoped--I pledged a level that the comm considered a small amount of words, but for me it was too many, and I couldn't keep up. So I didn't sign up again last year. (Not that participation depends on you hitting your stated goal! I just found it demoralizing, and the bar too high.)
This year, though, they have a new set of added challenges, Habit Pledges, counting days on which you write rather than wordcount. And the lowest rung is 10 days/month, which I feel is doable for me. So I signed up again, and we'll see how it goes. I think it'll be good for me to focus on creating a regular habit, vs. worrying about how many actual words said habit produces.
Which reminds me, I better get back at it. :D
