Need to get some words in? The Weekend Writing Marathon (WWM) is a writing challenge designed to help you do just that. You set your own writing goal for the weekend and work to achieve it before reporting back to the group on Sunday night.

How do I participate?

1. Reply to this post with your weekend writing plans–be as specific (or not) as you’d like.

2. Start writing on Friday 12:01 am local time. Work to meet your goal by Sunday night at 11:59 pm local time. You can work on whatever you want during this time.

3. Post your accomplishments to the Finish Line post at the end of the weekend (even if you didn’t reach your goal).

 

How do I report my accomplishments?

A Finish Line post will go up on Sunday. Reblog that post with your final word count/accomplished goal(s) by Monday at midnight local time. Totals from the weekend will be posted on Tuesday.

This challenge is currently running on 3 platforms: tumblr, pillowfort, and dreamwidth. If you sign up on this platform, please respond to the Finish Line post on this platform.

 

Let us know if you have any questions!

I'm going to try to write this weekend as much as possible. So far it's been a slooooooooooow writing month for me!

This weekend, Jan. 11-13: Work on chapters 3 and 4 of my Mass Effect story, We'll Fly Again. I keep writing additional scenes to put between chapter 2 and what I had planned next!

My word count last weekend was on non-fiction projects and I'd like to make more progress on my fan fiction. I did make a few hundred words on it during the week, though, which makes me very happy, and I was only able to do that because WWM kept me writing and inspired to go on the other four days of the week.

I've seen a lot of my mutuals and other creatives say the last few months have been slow progress. Then, earlier in the week, several writing memes were on my dash and in my inbox. That's a hopeful sign: We're still writing.

Easy goals this week:

- keep up 4thewords streak (which should bring me to about 1.5k for the weekend, or just under).
- write and post a FMF prompt fill (ideally finish the one started, not ideally do a new one from scratch)
