you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid

Summer Writing

June, July, August

It's summer, some of you may even be on vacation, and up here in the northern hemisphere it's already way too hot. None of these things lend themselves to a lot of writing time.

But we are writers, are we not? Let's write then.

Summer writing means setting manageable goals, something we can fit in between all the other stuff. This may be a wordcount goal, or to work on the story for a certain amount of time. It may also be something else creative you want to do.

@mareebrittenford is working on a fancy spreadsheet for you, and I'm (@barbex) making a weekly image for you, where you can write down your goals for that week and get a little, optional, prompt for your current project.

We start on the first of June, and until then, I want you to think about what a realistic goal is for you for the first week. Make a post about it and tag this blog. Let's write together this summer.

~barbex

Oh yeah, and don't use generative AI, that would be totally beside the point of writing together. And also stupid.
