I would like to share and or connect with the daily 1000 words I am writing, and others are writing. The slack link states it is no longer active. I just signed up as a paid subscriber, in order to have the opportunity to connect with other writers. Thank you!

That's so nice of you to subscribe! It was not required in order to access the slack but your subscription will go to charity, so I appreciate it so much! Anyway here is a fresh link for you. (Slack is finicky and the links keep expiring.) https://join.slack.com/t/1000wordsofsummer-hq/shared_invite/zt-2kb0vb3u8-UE9_zCqJLlcgi7PfgpsI~w

Thank you for your reply. I am happy to know you have nearly reached your goal; I am grateful to have been a part of that goal. All so very wonderful! I clicked on the link you sent and did not see anyones 1000 words posted from this time period. Is there another option? I thought there was a space where we could post our writing and also be able to read others pieces. I may have misunderstood as to how this looks. I am writing, which is a good thing! Thank you!

Word Count Day 1 — 1220 🙏🏽 Words and tears flowed as I wrote today.

Now, I have to pull it together for a high school football 7 on 7 game!!

Good luck, everyone!

Hi there, I would so love to join Everything you need to know about #1000wordsofsummer.

But do I need to become a paid subscriber in order to do that? Please let me know as I could really do with the encouragement of a community - it is just that must be super careful with money. TIA

I am a subscriber but what I am doing wrong? I don't seem to be able to get anymore info about the next writing challenge? Thanks so much!

This is an annual challenge. We already had this year's challenge - it's in the summer, in June, and it lasts for two weeks. (You can see the dates above on this page.) You can still get regular newsletters about writing weekly if you are signed up for this list. Good luck!

Is the slack channel still live? If so, please post a new link - the old links posted on this page & in the comments are inactive. TIA!

It's not still live. It is only live for one month a year surrounding the actual event. The event is in June.
