Guess what just launched? https://writingmonth.org

I'm proud to announce #WritingMonth, a challenge to meet your writing goals in the next 30 days. Pick your own goal that best challenges you and write your novel, short stories, poems, stage or screen play, blog posts, or any other writing project as part of a growing community of writers.

Note: I had to rush development a lot to make it by the November deadline, so there are a few things still missing or incomplete, but overall the site is ready to start up our challenge. I'll be continuing to fill in new and upgraded features as time allows over the coming days and weeks.

Boosts are very welcome!

To anyone who wants to add me as a buddy, send an invite to amin!

At this point being buddies doesn't do much (other than allow you to view private profiles) but I will be soon filling in support to let you see projects and progress updates from your buddies.

Aww, 4 buddies already. 🫂

To those who haven't noticed, your bio blurb for your profile supports Markdown formatting! I'm seeing a few people who dropped a URL straight in (which is perfectly fine) but you can make it a link like so: [Link Text](https://example.com)

#WritingMonth

Officially shutting down for the night; any further #WritingMonth support requests or questions will be replied to in the morning, after class.

Been a good night so far! 410,000 words have already been pledged for this November (not counting goals of other types). Maybe it'll be at a million when I check in tomorrow. ;)

You can sign up here: https://writingmonth.org/

And again, to anyone who wants to be writing buddies with me, send an invite to amin! https://writingmonth.org/~amin/

Welp, didn't take long for someone to do the exploit I was fearing: a negative writing goal to throw off the counter on the main page.

sigh

I'll fix it tomorrow.
