✨ #WriteToberSunFest Accountability Thread ✨

🥀 Title: TFG
🖤 Genre: Adult Mythological Fantasy
🥀 Status: 55943 words
🖤 Goal: 90k words (FINISH IT!)

I started this draft with @writetoberfest in April with #WriteToberSpringFest, it’s time to end it the same way it began. 💙📚 #WriterSky 📌

Now that I have power again & #WriteToberSpringFest is over, what should I do for May? 🤔

#MakeitHappenMay? Something else? Should I do another accountability thread? I really like them, but I feel like others get annoyed by them. Give me your thoughts & ideas, #WritingCommunity!

✨Final #WriteToberSpringFest Stats✨

30 days, 25,010 words, 138.5k characters, 9.5 chapters, 61 pages, 27% complete, & roughly 38 hours of writing. 🎉

I wanted a little cert to go with my accomplishment, so I created one in Canva. And I got my bougie cupcake reward today! 🤤 #WritingCommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 30 ✨

I had hopes to add an additional 2k to my accomplishment today, but alas, I still have no power. We’re on hour 27 now, with no end in sight. Oh well. I made my goal & that’s all that matters! Now it’s time to chill & read. #WritingCommunity

Going on 20 hours without power now, & no visible end in sight. We are in it for the long haul. The damage around me is unsettling. It’s a very good thing I hit my #WriteToberSpringFest goal yesterday & have plenty of books to read.

Woohoo!!
I can confirm that on the last day of #writetoberspringfest, I've finally reached my goal!!
Final word count for the month is 27,055!
I can now take a moment to chill, just like my little sausage dog here 🐾
Right, where is the sweet treat I promised myself?!

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 29 ✨

🎉WE HIT THE 25K GOAL!🎉

With just under 1.8k today we have crossed the finish line, & with 1 day to spare. It’s time to order those celebratory cupcakes! 🧁 After 7 years of struggling, I’m so proud of myself I could cry. #WritingCommunity

There is something in the air today:

👩🏻‍💼 Finally scored a second in-person interview with high hopes
🖋️ Got my first follow on Twitter from a lit agent
🎉 Made my #WriteToberSpringFest goal of 25k

Do you want to give me anything else good today, Universe? I will gladly accept it.

In celebration of hitting my #WriteToberSpringFest goal:

⚡️ Lightning can destroy lost souls.
⚔️ Death and Hades are mortal enemies because of a centuries old mistake.
🪡 The Fates don’t actually control all destiny.

Guess the lie. #CampTrivia #CampRevPit #WritingCommunity

I HIT MY #WriteToberSpringFest 25k GOAL! And w/ 1 day to spare for extra words. 🥳

This means so much to me after 7 years of struggling to write. I could literally cry right now. 🥹 The support of the #WritingCommunity has made such a difference to me. Love y’all.

Time to get those cupcakes! 🧁

Methinks I better write now & read later before these storms roll in. #WriteToberSpringFest finish line, here we come!! Only 1780 words to go! #WritingCommunity

Early start on the writing today. Doing my best to achieve my #writetoberspringfest target for tomorrow 💪🏽
#writersky #writingcommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 28 ✨

WE’VE HIT THE 25% OVERALL MARK!! 🥳

The finish line is so close I can already taste those celebratory 🧁. I want to finish today, but I have other things I must attend to. Wrote 2k today, & passed page 50! 2 days left & only 1780 words to go!!

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 27 ✨

Two days rest absolutely killed my momentum. Words are like pulling teeth again. Managed 1k tonight, which still leaves me under 4k to go with just 3 days left. The final countdown is on. #WritingCommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 25 & 26 ✨

The sick has been kicking my ass the last two days so I took a rest. I need to jump back into it tomorrow whether I’m 100% or not because there’s only 4 days left & I still have just under 5k to go.

You know you’re over the sickness already when you’re pulling out the oils & crystals.

All I want to do is write & hit my #WriteToberSpringFest goal, but my head is a foggy barren landscape. This is a torture I haven’t experienced in some years.

May have fallen off the #writetoberspringfest wagon this past week due to having wayyy too much fun at Disney (hence my silence on socials). But I intend to pull out all the stops to try and still hit my target!!

Yep, I has the sick. 🤒 Please send comfort.

I swear if this interferes with me hitting my #WriteToberSpringFest goal, I will throttle myself.

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 24 ✨

Good news: WE HAVE PASSED THE 20K MARK!! 🎉 Hell yes! I added another 1.9k today. Less than 5k words to go & 6 days left!

Bad news: I am getting sick & I really hope it doesn’t put a damper on my final push. 🤒 I want this goal so bad! #WritingCommunity

✨New reward for my #WriteToberSpringFest goal:

When, not if, I hit my 25k goal, I will buy myself mini cupcakes from the bougie sweet shop nearby.

Even better: If I hit my extended 30k goal, I will buy myself full size cupcakes instead. #WritingCommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 23 ✨

Not only did I do a small edit pass on my 1st chapter, but I wrote just under 1.7k new words today. Less than 7k words to go & 7 days left! AND we hit the 20% overall mark today for this WiP! *Happy dance* #WritingCommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 22 ✨

After realizing that I fell 4k behind my daily goal last week due to the holidays, I made a push for sprints with a friend. Managed 2.4k today. We are past 15k & under 9k left to go on my goal with 8 days left! I still got this! #WritingCommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 20 & 21 ✨

Holidays + hosting = I needed a nap. That’s it. That’s the update for the two days I missed.

Realizing I am now 4k behind my daily goal for #WriteToberSpringFest because hosting the holiday weekend wiped me the hell out. 😬 Please send snacks, drinks, & support. I’m determined to make this damn goal. 9 days left!! #WritingCommunity

Another rather delayed update for #writetoberspringfest so here goes...
Day 18: 956 words
Day 19: 0 👍🏽
Day 20: 949 words
Day 21: 703 words
In between pitch events & travelling, the count has slowed a little but we are still at it!
Really hoping to meet my 27k goal. Eeek!
#writersky #writingcommunity

I didn’t officially join a cabin or sign up for feedback because I’m already booked with #WriteToberSpringFest, but I’m here for the games. I’ll be continuing to work on my adult mythological fantasy on the sidelines in the coming weeks. #CampRevPit

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 19 ✨

Between the #PosterPit event today & a busy night, I didn’t get a chance to do any writing. #PosterPit counts as something writing related though, right? #WritingCommunity

Day 18:

I forgot to post an update yesterday, so I've merged the two days. In extremely exciting news, I've finished my first draft of the manuscript! It's only at 64,500 words, so I'll have to add about 10k during my first round of edits, but she's done! #writetoberspringfest

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 18 ✨

I’m already half asleep, but somehow I managed 1.1k today. I also just realized I’ve passed the halfway point of my monthly goal! #WritingCommunity

✨ #WriteToberSpringFest Day 17 ✨

Managed just under 900 words tonight. I’ll take it considering it’s a super busy week & I am tired.
