We are a writing community aiming to increase our writing productivity and improve our writing lives. It’s often too easy to let writing fall to the side, and to later regret the words we never wrote. We offer twelve challenging pledge levels for those who are serious about increasing their word count or writing habit over the year.
Membership is open for the 2024 Year-End Marathon! Join current GYWO writers for a marathon to take you through the final months of 2024 to start 2025 on the right foot. Please visit the community on Dreamwidth for requirements and sign-ups.
If you are interested in joining the year-long challenge for 2025, please visit the community on Dreamwidth and watch for updates later this year.
