Are you ready to start: to start achieving your writing dreams, to write better or maybe even just more often?
Well, then… what are you waiting for? It’s “GO! Time” you creative person you! Round 3 of The Writing Challenge That Knows You Have a Life has just started.
So are you ready to write and create? Then do it.
And if not… well, then get ready.
It’s”Go Time”.
Are you ready and on target for your journey into Round 3 of the ROW80?
Well, if not, you can start by setting your goals for the next 80 days of writing and creativity (and hopefully for some of you all, marketing and publishing too). There are asmany ways to set goals as there are people and you should try out a few menthods before finding out what works best for you.
We like to talk about how the A Round of Words in 80 Days is a writing challenge that knows you have a life, but… what do we really mean by that? We’re an online (and in some places a bit ‘in person”) community of writers and artists at various stages in our careers. We support each other through chats, sprints, gatherings and even one-to-one accountability partnerships. All we do is on a volunteer basis, and we do all of it to help you and ourselves further our aspirations as complete human beings who love words and want to share them with others.
Do you aspire to share your stories with others? Well, work up some goals to get you there and post them, here, on your own blog (don’t forget to leave us a link so we can check them out) or in our FB group.We’ll do what we can to help you on you way.
Is everyone ready for a whole new, bright and shiny Round of Words in 80 Days?
Well, here it is folks. We’ve made it! We are here. It’s Round 2, and we’re ready. We’re going to make this one awesome. We’re going to rock this.
Because….
And if you still haven’t posted your goals, here’s the linky:
Hey all!
First off, I wanted to send a huge “Thank You” shout-out to Denise Young for covering the End of Round post. A family crisis had popped up and.. well, I am truly grateful.
Next, I wanted to remind all of you that next Monday is the beginning of Round 2. If anyone is looking for an accountability partner, you should get in touch ASAP. I will send out msgs this weekend to all people who’ve signed up. That is, unless you would like to keep your ‘old partner’ (that works too). Either way, send me an email or an FB message. Or leave a comment in the thread below.
And lastly…
If you haven’t posted your goals and/or aspirations yet… it’s time. Here’s the linky. Have fun!
Because a lot of us post our check-ins on Sundays only, let me be the first to congratulate you all on a Round of Words well written. Good for you!
That said… the round won’t be officially over until Wednesday, so if you feel you need a few more days to get things done, guess what—you have them! And not only that, since this is the official goals post for our upcoming Round 2, you have a whole new round of words to work on those dreams and aspirations, time enough to finish outstanding projects, start news ones, participate in challenges…
You have so very many chances. Make the best of them. The future is wide open… go for it.
And for those of you read with you goals? Here’s the linky:
You knew that, right? You knew that we’ve been closing in on the final week of Round 1 here at the ROW80. It’s time for those of you who are planning on joining us for Round 2 to start preparing your goals lists for the round, thinking about whether you’d like an accountability partner this time, and maybe offering your services as a sponsor for the challenge. (I’m really looking for a few good inspirational posts or images to use here, if you think you can make one.)
Until then, I’d mentioned having the goals post up today… eh, no. I was off by a few days. Silly me. It’s supposed to go out on a Sunday anyway. So, keep your eyes open and your hands writing those words (or typing… that is unless you dictate your stories, that works too).
And let us know how you’re doing in the meantime. Here or in our FB group as always.
As we move toward the horizon, what should appear on the horizon? Can it be? Yes, yes, it is.
Land ho!
We’ve traveled a long ways these past months, RoWers. It’s been quite a journey, and yet, rough seas and all, I’m pretty glad I took it. I hope you are too.
That said, we’re not quite there yet. We still need to ply our trades, execute our best piloting skills… we need to reach the shore, knowing that we can rest and plan our next adventure in ease.
Basically… this post is a heads up that I’ll be posting our goals link this Wednesday so we can start preparing for Round 2. It’s happening sooner than you might think.
So, why not start thinking about how this Round of Words worked for you. Did you try the new Accountability Partner program? Did you like it? Do you think you’d be interested in maintaining a small weekly present on either Instagram or Twitter for the ROW80, posting about the accomplishments or projects of fellow RoWers? Would you be interested in writing a sponsor post for this blog? Or do you have ideas or advice on how we can make the ROW80 even better?
As always, let us know in the comments or via the FB page. You can even email me directly at mousefir (at) gmail (dot) com
Oh, and toss us a link or comment about how you’ve been doing in reaching your goals.
