Get your words out!

I finally gave in to [livejournal.com profile] katayla's rather strong and persistent suggestions and joined [livejournal.com profile] getyourwordsout.

It's a place where you pledge to write certain number of words throughout the year. It's interactive, so you have to let them know your word count every month. It's not a contest, but it's surely a good way of keeping yourself in track.

I for one, love tracking my word count and writing towards a word count goal, so yeah, that's pretty awesome for me. BUT, I kinda chickened out and pledged for 150K only :P You have 150, 200, 250, 300 and 350K (which is "insane").

Just a friendly promotion :D Go pledge, then request to join and write! May 2011 bring you lots of awesome ideas and a ton of words to write ♥

How is it related to Wonderfalls, I wonder? :))

Woo! We can freak out together :P

[identity profile] thelake.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
All year long! yay! =))))

Haha yes. I am not sure what I was thinking when I picked my number, as I am also deciding to spend at least 3 months of next year with limited or extremely limited internet access....wooo journals?

Love of writing makes you do crazy things all.the.time.

Considering you only need internet access for check-ins, it shouldn't affect the amount of writing you'll do in a completely ideal world, right?

In one episode, whatever animal is torturing her tells Jaye "get her words out"

oh! never watched it, but maybe the name comes from that, who knows :D
i should really watch Wonderfalls sometime... My reputation for being a geek requires me to see it.

You totally should, it was such a brilliant show that fucking evil tv execs killed like halfway through the first season. Fuckers.

I bought the dvd when it came out and just wanted more :/

*considers watching it again*

HAHA pretty much.

HMM yeah. I will probably only miss one check in, at most. For THAT reason :P

[identity profile] katayla.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
LOL. YAY! I HAVE MAGICAL POWERS OF PERSUASION!

I'm glad you joined! I think it'll be fun, even if we all fail. :D

[identity profile] thelake.livejournal.com 2010-12-30 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
YOU DO! YOU CERTAINLY DO! =))

I hope we don't fail, but yeah, it's gonna be so much fun. I hope I can keep up.
