Writing Sprint #1 (June 20-26th)

Hey, and welcome to the first writing sprint! This is a short lax challenge where it's like a mini National Novel Writing Month but you set your own writing goal. What happens:

June 19th - Sign ups. Pretty much state what your writing goal will be (finish a scene each day, write at least 500 words a day, finish this story by time challenge ends, etc). If you're late to the party, you can still sign up.

June 20th-26th - Time range for the sprint. I will be making quick posts to check up on your progress

I think that's it. If there are any concerns, don't hesitate to ask. Good luck!

Guess I'll do second sign up, haha.

I've been working on one story and editing/expanding another, so I think Ill try for 500 words a day (or at least finish a scene here and there).

Been going back and forth on this, especially with several days likely to be very busy this week, and I haven't really done a series before. I'm going to attempt to do one of my typical stories (I think they average out about 1600 words) every day or two, and use the various writing prompt communities (the reddit writingprompt subreddit in particular) for inspiration.

A bit late (I'm usually up pretty late, so technically not the first day), but I did a short story in my collection thread. Total word count: 1724. Will likely spend the entire sprint just building on that one world unless something else really piques my interest and I just have to write it before the idea is gone.

Before Day 2 check in, my progress! Managed to do over 650 today and finished one scene for one of my stories. Kinda need to start mulling over the next few scenes I would like to write.

Day Two Check In

Okay, now for Day Two! Like before, share your progress!

(Oh, I should mention that I'll probably be posting these check ins after midnight Pacific Standard Time. Maybe a little earlier if needed).

Allright.

A tad late, but I'm in. My goal is to write a chapter of a story which I haven't worked on in a week, that I want to constantly push until completion.
I have five days for this.

Minimum objectives;
- Complete the Gym Battle chapter. A key moment in the story I'm writing.
- Pixel (1) character portrait.
- Pixel (1) event scene.
- Pixel (1) finished mock-up. Either the town or within the Gym.

Here we go.

For Day 2, did a bit of editing and expanding on two scenes (different stories). I think overall I got close to or at 500 words. I hope to get started on a whole new scene for one of the stories next time.

Day Three Check In

Welcome to Day Three! Close to the halfway point. Hopefully everyone is still going strong with their progress.

Wow. um, my first update. Finally made myself focus and finish Chapter 6. I have Chapter 7 kinda formed in my head though, so hopefully it will be coming in a more timely fashion.

I believe in Jesus Christ my Savior. If you do too, and aren't scared to admit it, then copy and paste this in your signature.

For Day 3, I finished one scene, which was almost 1500 words. D= Guess I was determined to finish that scene off, haha. So tired now.

Day Four Check In

Now it's Day 4. As usual, mention your progress is, no matter how big or how little it is.

Congrats on getting Revolution done, Aisu!

For Day 4, I got another scene written and 800 words. Just need to do one scene rewrite for this story and I'm done with the rough draft (this story I had been working on and off the past few months).

Day Five Check In

Welcome to Day Five! Over halfway point now. Everyone still feeling good? Sounds like everyone has made some good prorgress, so let's keep that up!

For Day 5, I originally plan to finish one last scene for one of my stories, but then I got an idea on how to rewite one scene from my second story. Yeah, did that instead, lol. also for the second story thought up an idea I can use, but I want to save that for later.

Day Six

Welcome to Day Six! Getting close to the end now. Feeling a bit burned out, or you think the last couple days you'll be filled with bursts of energy? As always, discuss your progress.

Hm, haven't seen progress reports from anyone the past couple days? Probably have to do with PC not able to function here and there? In either case, today I did around 600 words and finished the last scene for the first story I've been working on. Now deciding what scene I want to do for my second story.

Day Seven Check In (Final Day)

Day Seven, last day! So, did you guys able to make your goals? Enjoyed this short challenge and want to do more of them in the future? For those that stuck through this until the end, congratulations!
