Today was the first day of First Draft November! I wanted to give you a little space and check in at the end. How’d you do? Today’s word count goal was 1,667. Did you meet it? Exceed it? Going to take some time tomorrow to catch up?
All are good answers, this is about having fun and getting through it together.
Alsoo…
Speaking of, just a reminder, you’ll find a new thread in our chat every day where you can post your daily word count and connect with other writers participating in the challenge. We’ve already posted today’s check-in if you want to hop in:
If you don’t want to get super wrapped up in the Substack ecosystem (totally understandable) and prefer to leave a comment, you can do that here:
Or hey, email me! Just reply to this and let me know how you did. Nobody else needs to know.
And congratulations for starting this challenge. Let’s go!!
