Countdown to June!

It's back again in 2011, the 50K in 30 Days!

The premise is simple, just set yourself a word count goal for the month of June, and then report back with your word count each week. We'll be having writing sprints in the Romance Writers of Australia chat rooms (join now if you're not already a member!) and blog posts from brilliant authors full of all the motivation, advice and the butt-kicking you need to get writing.

To sign up, just comment below with your word count, or send me an e-mail!

Would LOVE to sign up again but we'll see how I go towards my goal in May before I make any promises :)

Julia, going to aim *high* so put me down for the full shebang of 50k. Never made it but great motivation :)

Hi Julia, I thought I'd put my name down to edit 50ks, but must have forget. So can you add me please.

Thanks
Sandie

Hey Suzanne,
I'm not running 50/30 this year. The lovely Julia has agreed to take up the reins for us.

But I will be trying to get some editing done. Glad to see you joining us again.

I presumed we'd all do 50k. lol okay...if you don't mind please put me down for 50k and the rest will be a bonus. :)

Suz, we're a little more flexible than Nano so we can be more inclusive and recognise not everyone can commit to 50ks in a month.

It's still about the goal setting, and then working towards those goals.

Julia, I'm in for 100ks of editing.

Unknown said...

Wow! Okay, everyone should be up on the site now!

@Diane - I had you down for 50K, but I've changed that now.

@Sandie - There was a technical error, we may have lost you! You're back now, and I have a spreadsheet so it should all be good now :)

Welcome aboard everyone!

Kez said...

I won't have a hope in Hades of making the 50K, but put me down for it anyway. It'll be good motivation!
