Question for those who are following along for #FediJournJan - have you been seeing the #FediWriMo community posts here?

I looked yesterday, and didn't see any of the posts I've made over the past few days, so I was wondering if anyone else is following from a Mastodon / Goto Social / etc. instance and has been seeing the posts.

As we get closer to the start of Journaling January here’s the information you need:

I’ve added a document to the wiki on How To Set Up TrackBear: https://feddit.online/community/nanowrimo2/wiki/TrackBearSetUp for this (or any other FediWriMo) event.

To complete your setup, you will need the leaderboard Join code:

I’ve also added a rather lengthy document regarding Journaling that I hope will answer questions for folks that have not journaled before. Of course, it may also cause mass confusion… But, always take the most simple answer. Here’s the document:

With the conclusion of the first #FediWriMo (Fediverse Writing Month) competition, I proposed a next competition: Journaling January (#FediJoJan). Here is the rough idea for the competition:

Make daily entries in a journal for the month of January. The recommended minimum length for each entry is 3 pages (you determine what a page is if your software doesn't normally paginate your text).  Record your daily progress using TrackBear (I will set up a leader board before the competition starts, and post the link for it).

The idea behind this competition isn't so much about writing in quantity.  Instead, it is about getting into the habit of writing daily. The leader board is mostly there to serve the purpose of inspiring participants to write on a daily basis.

Throughout the month of January, I will post updates on the competition, including optional #writing #prompts and leaderboard statuses.

If this kind of activity sounds interesting to you, please check out the post here: https://feddit.online/c/nanowrimo2/p/1244581/journaling-january-competition

You can also sign up for the [email protected] group from any Lemmy, Mbin or PieFed instance.

If you are interested, letting me know by responding to the above post would be greatly appreciated.

Oops yeah, forgot to post here.

I updated my #NaNoWriMo / #writingmonth stats data file to include this year's progress.

I think I'll call it done for now! This is an unprecedentedly messy manuscript, probably my messiest yet. But it'll get better.
