    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!
     
    I guess I'll be the first to sign up.

    I'm going to try to post one chapter at least every two days. And hopefully I'll be getting Chapter 5 posted by tomorrow.
     
    I'll be in this too. My goal's write one chapter each for five stories.
     
    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.
     
    I'll sign up! I'm probably just going to stick to one page a day of the short story I'm working on.

    I haven't written anything yet, but I'll get to it soon, and update when I can.
     
    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.

    Finished another bit today. Total word count 1045. Wanted to do more, but didn't want to extend too far and burn out on it.
     
    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.
     
    Starting strong on my own Day 1 out of 5.

    Chapter 8 of my pokémon story has been finished. Words: 2024.
    Personal satisfaction level? High.

    Ah, this feels good.
    I wonder if I should post it.
     
    For day three, I finally caught up on the pages I needed. While I was fine writing for day 1, day 2 was spent cleaning. So day 3 was a day to catch up and check how the story is progressing, to see if I might have to bump up my daily goals.
     
    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.
     
    Bluh, I did like 500 words yesterday. Hoping for something I can actually post today.
