It’s almost time! Four more days until the start of Round 1, our first official round of 2012! Wahoo! Here’s where you declare your intentions to join the round (though you’ll be making a separate goals post for January 2nd, our official start date). Just paste in the link to your blog in the linky below, grab the ROW80 badge (copy image location and then chuck it into your blog’s image widget or use some handy dandy html image code in a text widget). Then meet back here on the 2nd ready to GO GO GO GO for the new year!

A Round of Words in 80 Days: The Writing Challenge That Knows You Have A Life 
Hi, I’m Jayrod. I discovered this as I was finishing up NaNoWriMo looking for another community to be writing in. I figured this would help keep me honest about my goals and force me to actually use my blog too. Hopefully this year will be a great one that will bear much fruit in writing that is. 🙂
My goal for this ROW80 is to complete the second draft of the story that I wrote during NaNoWriMo: Crimes of the Umbramancer. I think that if I can accomplish at least about 12 to 15 thousand words a week I should be able to reach that goal. Looking forward to the first check in! Peace!
Forgot to attach my blog address! Oops. Here it is: http://the1stog.blogspot.com/

Okay, I’m a long-time internet user, and I’m completely confused by this. I’ve already signed up, and I’ve posted my initial January 2012 goals list on my blog. Now… *where* do I link back to row80? On my blogpost? And to where do I link back? That page with everyone’s blog links?
Yes, I read the faq, but I’m still confused by the Linky thing (and it doesn’t help that the javascript evidently doesn’t work with wordpress accounts.
Sorry!
You post the direct link to your post on the linky, which you reach via the “click here” link on the post. The goals post link does not go up until the round begins on January 2nd.
Signing up for the first quarter….My goals work out to roughly 750 words a day…Totally doable. Read about it at my blog.

Mine works out about the same too 😀
Looking forward to the next 80 days. I’m completely new to blogging and had to start one before I joined. Not sure if I understood everything correctly but hopefully I’ll get the hang of it soon
for some reason I didn’t see this post until today, although I was checking the blog for updates regularly. Oh well, it’s the 2nd so I should probably go straight away to the first day check-in, then…
