Day 1, Spring 2024 Mini 1000

Hi friends.

Today we will write 1000 words. Together. Because we are hungry to write something new or cool or different. Something that feels important to us! And we cannot sit still a minute longer. It is time to write.

I’m glad you’re here with me. I woke up thinking about how I was going to get this work done today knowing you were doing it, too. It’s a special kind of magic when we all commit to this together. The words don’t have to be perfect or better than anyone else’s. They just have to be done. And the words come out easier when we hold ourselves—and each other—accountable.

So just know that when you’re pushing yourself to cross that finish line every day, I’ll be doing the same thing—as will nearly 8,000 other people.

And what I’ll be working on is a new novel, really digging into it. For a while now I’ve just playing around with some ideas, not being too responsible to the material. Being a little messy and experimental and that’s it. But now it is time to hold myself accountable again. One thousand words a day starts now. For all of us.

Comments are open for you to take a moment to share what you’re working on. Or if you want to track your word count for the day when you’re finished. (I’ll also be on twitter later this afternoon looking at the #mini1000 hashtag.)

Good luck everyone. Now get to work!
