I am in too! I'm just writing. No specific project, just getting words on page. Currently typing instead of scrolling while away at my daughters dance competition and already feel more like my self. Thanks for this!

Against my better judgment, I'm in. A repeat offender, I intend to use the 1000words discipline to escape my current existence, and at the same time make some headway in the various partially baked writing projects I have open.

Excited! How does this work if we're revising?

There was some discussion of it here if you're looking for some ideas https://substack.com/@1000wordsofsummer/note/c-119269959?

I am so excited to join for the first time! I need this kick in the pants to finish a first draft of a new novel begun last summer which has been neglected more or less since then. I may alternate my time in this challenge to also revise my third novel which I ‘thought’ was ready to pitch but outreach to agents over several months and a recent appraisal by an author/MFA professor tells me otherwise. So diving in, with great company!

Hi! I would love to join, but the Slack link is being fickle. What is the best way to join the slack? Thanks!

Excited to make some progress on my writing goals alongside a community!!! When you get a chance, please create a new slack link as the one I am seeing in the recent comments has expired!

I can't wait to give this another go this year! I haven't been successful in previous years, and I booked some time off to recharge my batteries before I found out about the dates, so I will miss the last 4 days, but I am attempting to divvy the time up and add it to the 10 days that I will be taking part, so I'll be aiming for 1400W per day, and am going to do my damndest to meet my goal!

I will be working on several pieces of flash fiction and short stories for competitions, and hopefully my first novella-in-flash if there's time.
