I have been writing daily since April 8th. I am writing a memoir and getting deep in the weeds with some challenging material so I have been allowing myself to write what I can. Thanks as always for your mentorship
This 1000 words warm up has come at an ideal time for me. I’m lucky enough to be able to take a couple months off from my day job to travel and write. This warmup started about a week and a half into my trip. I’d gotten to a new continent, started having adventures, but hadn’t pushed myself into actually getting into the writing. I’m very deadline driven, and even though I haven’t put my word counts in the comments, I’ve still felt accountable to this warmup, and have gotten more focused work done than I have in a long time.
Hello, as always I love what you're doing (your books, #1000words, this newsletter!) and am really grateful. And I'll be participating in the next #1000words!
I unfortunately have a billing issue that I need to clear up--how do I do that? Is there someone else who takes care of that?

So excited for this year’s 1000 words! I’m going to finish a novel draft this summer, and these sprints are going to help get me there!
Excellent Shayne! I loved your letter to me btw. Congrats again on your book!
My childhood best friend and I are both novelists now and exchange our word count (or update) every single day and it is hugely important.
It is fun to dig in the dirt and my writing always grows too. Enjoy that garden!🪴

Excellent!! I'm so glad!

Thank you for all you do.

Just reply to one of the emails.
Is there still a Slack for 1000 words? Did a Substack chat replace it? I think no to both…but, where am I?
It only exists for one month around 1000 words of summer. So it'll be another month yet!
