Every Sunday night, a reminder will be posted for the next week. If anyone forgets to post their daily writing, the next person in line will know it's their turn, and they can post after completing their writing.

For example, it's 05 April and cmk418 hasn't made a post saying that they've done their daily writing, on 06 April, shanachie_quill can post when they've done their writing to keep things moving.

I think I've covered everything, but if not, please let me know.
