Writeathon!
About a week ago, I half seriously, half jokingly, announced that I'd be doing a 24 hour writeathon.Joke's on me, I've decided to go for it! And with the suggestion of the 85K Writing Challenge folks, anyone is invited. :)
My personal hashtag is #24hrsofstar but I'm also going to make a general one, #24hoursofcatchup, since the point of my writeathon is to catch up to the 85K challenge. I'll be about 30200 words away from the goal (for January) if I don't write another word before then.
BUT, I wrote just under 800 words yesterday for my Epilogue, so hey, at least it's not the full 31000!
My plan is this, start writing at 10am EST on January 31st, and end at 2pm EST on February 1st. I am fully aware that that's 28 hours, not 24! The reason being, I'm giving myself four hours to make food, eat, take my kiddo to his sitter (his grandma is in town, whoo hoo!) and other assorted things. That is, if I need the extra time. Maybe I'll be done long before then, happily asleep. I'm not counting on it though. I'll be closely counting my minutes of "not writing" time, to make sure I'm not cheating.
I' going to try and live stream it, some way or another. I've never live streamed anything before, aside from on Skype, but I want to stream my screen, not my beautiful face.
So far just my husband is joining me (he's dedicated himself to 12 hours, no particular word count) so it would be neat to see ho else joins us, and how well we do as a collective!
