IT’S THAT SIMPLE!

Challenge: I did my words!

[kaige68.livejournal.com]

The idea is this: Most of us have personal written word/image word counts that we want to get done for year, and if you’re like me you’ve translated that down to what you should have every month/week/day. Commit to at least one day in the month that you MUST meet your count. It’s an accountability challenge.

Comment below telling us that you’re in, we’ll set up the list. The mods will pick the first person to be up to make their daily count. That member has 24 hours to reach their own goal, they put up a new post in the comm, saying that they made their quota, tagging whoever they arbitrarily choose from the list and naming them in the title of the post. EASY PEASY!

POST SUBJECT: I tag Haldoor!

I made my quota of 500 words today!!! GO ME!!!

Of course we have lives, or at least some of you do, so passing is perfectly acceptable. If there is a date that you know you won’t make your quota , leave it in your comment here. If the world exploded when you got to work (got home, got to the grocery store and every customer in the ’12 items or less’ lane had at least 15 items) then tag someone else and let us know that you’re passing as soon as you are able, and we’ll keep you in the rota for another day!

Once you’ve made your quota day, we’ll take you out until you sign up again! Sound good? This first time around let’s see how this goes with 20 members playing. So the first 20 people to sign up below will be in. Sign-ups will close at 9pm EST on the 6th, the first challenger will be posted on the 7th at roughly 5am EST.

Happy Words!

An imaginary conversation between me and my count buddy haldoor.

H: Did you write today?
K: No, someone set my socks on fire this morning while I was in them. It’s been a rough day.
H: You should write about that. It would be funny if Steve accidentally set Danny’s socks on fire!
K: Yeah, maybe, I’m just… blergh.
H: If Steve had a magnifying glass and was trying to show Grace how to start a fire with it in a controlled space with dried leaves, and couldn’t get it to work.
K: And then Danny starts to rant.
H: Steve is distracted by how hot Danny is when he rants, and not paying attention to the sun and the magnifying glass - *poof* fire in Danny’s socks!
K: *watches bunny open a word doc* I hate you, you know that right?
H: 500 words, Babe!

Who are you accountable to? Or rather: To whom are you accountable? Do you have someone who will check in with you daily/weekly/hourly? Someone who says You can do it! without it being posted in a public comm that you are behind? Someone who will say I know you didn’t make that banner yesterday because your socks were on fire and your feet were in them, but that was yesterday and you don’t photo edit with your toes! Now be the person your count buddy thinks you are and make that damn banner!

Sign up below if you want us to finagle you a buddy to whom you can be accountable, and in return, they can be accountable to you!

Disclaimer: Actual pestering levels will vary based on discussions between buddies once paired.
