Hi everyone! I need to kickstart my novel. Perhaps you have something you’d like to be working on, too? Let’s do it together! February 7-February 12. One thousand words a day. Same rules as always: these emails will be quick and dirty. The comments will be open, and I will be looking at them and posting my count there. I won’t be on twitter in February, but I know some folks connect there, too. Or maybe you just want to quietly participate at home. Do what you need to do to — I respect it all!
Thanks for this offering. I just hit 1259 words for my novel in progress. My goal is to finish it by the summer so I need to get moving and this challenge is helping me do that.
Hi everyone! I am at long last finished the longest project ever (My PhD), and can now turn my energies back to other kinds of writing. Look forward to checking in with you all throughout the week.
Happy New Year, Jami! I wanted to send you a more personal DM but have been unable to find a way to reach you since I'm not on social media. Thank you SO much for your personal message in my copy of your memoir that came in the mail from Books Are Magic right before it launched! I read it breathlessly without stopping in one gulp. And, currently, I am reading it all the way through again, one bite at a time, savoring every sentence, immersing myself in your wit and truths and wisdom. I also attended your virtual evening with Isaac Fitzgerald and been listening to the video of your conversation with Benjamin Dreyer, both of which I've enjoyed immensely. All this to say, thank you, thank you, thank you for being true to you in life and on the page. You're such an inspiration to me. I'm on board for another 1000 to continue building the story I began and have been working on since your last 1000 words of summer. I've discovered some roadblocks in my plot and need to write my way out of them. Thanks for the invitation and looking forward to it!
Publicly committing here because I’ve tried to join before, quietly, and have dropped off. Ready to work in public. Thanks for inviting us to join, Jami! Wishing everyone good focus & easy workflow.
See you soon! I made so much progress on my novel last year w/this impetus/inspiration/encouragement/peer pressure 😉 that it's now 265 pages/65,000 words. Hoping a #mini1000 will help me push through to finish this revision. Thank so much, Jami, & good luck, all writers.

I’m in! I’ve been taking more writing classes — and doing less writing. Anxious but excited about buckling down and doing this with you all.
Just what I need. Thank you!
Perfect timing—thank you! I’m 100% in.
Glad you're doing this again.
Using this to ensure I practice daily a new craft I'm looking to learn (tapestry).
Can't wait - thanks so much!
SO glad this is happening. I'm in.
I don’t want to do this, and I am coming up with lots of reasons not to do it, and I don’t have time, and it frightens me. So, I am doing it.
The best reasons!!
I'm in!
