So to get myself back on the wagon, I’m initiating a personal challenge: 100 words for 100 days. Start day is today.
Well, actually, the start day was Friday. But I was too tired, so I sort of fiddled about on the net, then went to bed early. So I decided to start Saturday, but we went to a party and I had a drink and was in bed by 8:30pm.
As you can see, drastic measures are called for. So I’m going public. Hold me accountable, people. 100 words a day for 100 days, or else.
And if anyone else is in need of a kick-start, come and join me. Drop your name in at the bottom of this post, and prepare to be badgered, peer-pressured and generally arse-kicked into writing.
It’s time to stop making excuses.

Good plan, nice to see you blogging (and writing) again!
Thanks Cassie :D
Merrilee’s back!
I’ve just finished a two week exam block, and with studying etc, I haven’t really written anything in quite a few weeks, so this is a good idea! I aim for 300 words/day, but if I had 100 words as a minimum I’d have no excuses not to write! Count me in!
Great to hear from you! Welcome aboard :)
Will you be posting these words somewhere, so we can keep an eye on you?
Right here, every day. Boring, but at least it’s progress!
I love this!! But for now I’ll be quietly cheering from the sidelines – right now I’m coming to the end of a Cert IV qualification and have assignments out the whatsit. I could possibly manage 10 words for 10 days, but anything more will need to wait LOL!
So YAY Merrilee and everyone else. Go go go!!! :-D
Thanks J! Feel free to jump in anytime if you finish your assignments before the end :)
I’m in! And what perfect timing – I’m just finishing up a literature course (exam on Monday) and can’t wait for a break from academic writing. It is still Saturday where I am (Toronto, Canada) – guess I’ll keep studying for the exam tonight and write my first 100 words tomorrow?
By the way, I’m not a blogger or a professional writer, just an amateur who has benefited greatly from following your Creativity Workshop. Will I need a blog to participate, or can I report my progress through comments?
Welcome aboard, Jill! You can post your numbers here in the comments. I’ll be trying to do a daily update, and hope to hear from everyone on how they are going.

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. The exact same thing. Except .. not 100 words, and not 100 days. So I guess it’s not the EXACT same thing. LOL. I was thinking more of an extended personal NPI, holding myself accountable for 250 words per day for ‘as long as possible’. But 100 words for 100 days? I like the sound of that. I think I’ll do this too, following along silently (if you don’t mind, of course).
Well, you can follow silently if you like, but it’s hard to apply peer pressure if I don’t know if you’re writing or not… ;)
Oh I see.. Well then, I’ll have to start blogging about this, won’t I? :)
I am totally on this! I took Friday off from HalfNoC but managed 1910 words today. I need something to keep me going once June finishes.
Glad to have you on board, Kerryn!
