📢 Write every day, and win disappointingly mediocre prizes! - Lemmy.World

Do you struggle to write every day? Come join an accountability team and compete for the prize of most consistent writers! Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ Reply to this message seeking an accountability partner, or reply to another user’s request. Each team must consist of exactly two members. 2️⃣ This coming week, keep track of the number of days you have spent at least fifteen minutes working on your book, blog, or other writing project. The number of successful days is your score. 3️⃣ Add your score together with your partner’s. The maximum number of points a team can earn is 14. 4️⃣ Next week on Sunday, a new announcement will be posted. One member of your team must reply with the team’s score. Be honest. If you lie, your pants will spontaneously burst into flames. 5️⃣ The team with the highest score will be declared the winner! In the event of a tie, the winning team will be chosen randomly. Remember, the goal is not to write a million words. Rather, the goal is consistency—writing every day. 🎉 Prizes! 🏆 Bragging rights Becoming a better writer Two links of your choice (one from you and one from your partner) will appear at the top of next week’s announcement. This week’s competition will run 1/14 - 1/21. Happy writing!
