Great progress Angela - thanks for checking in. We haven't yet confirmed a sprint for September. We ned to see how regularly they are needed. Look forward to seeing you on the starting line :)
So excited to be sprinting with you Angela. And I want to hear all about the novel and where you are with it. We're doing a sprint on Monday 2 September - there'll be a member webinar on October but then more sprints in November and December.

I’ll put the September one in my diary now! Will prove useful for the transition from holiday season to busy/back to school season, even when I have no little people to worry about for myself!

I'll be with family waiting for recovery news after my niece's brain surgery. It will be really difficult to stick with the sprint but I want to try anyway. Even if I only write a paragraph a day. I need to keep my head in my novel. There have been so many interruptions this summer.
Sending hugs 🤗 I spent a week of July with a family member in and out of hospital and I found that daily writing was a welcome distraction (like you, I went for a small achievable goal, which definitely helped!)

Part of this sprint will cover me BINGE WRITING 🎉 One of three times a year I ignore my responsibilities and write. I will be at home trying to create writing retreat vibes 🤞
Awesome! Wishing you a really good week 😀 Also, I spotted on LWS’s July Writing Challenge that you’ve been warming up by smashing your writing goals in July too - well done and keep up that momentum!
🥰 I think Bec and Chris would tell you that you were a real writer already - but we all know how hard it is to feel that we can say that and know it to be true!
Haha! I'll be joining you for a binge writing session too. Have been mulling over a goal for next week and have decided to go big. I know that's not necessarily the point of the sprint, but it does give me incredible focus. See you on the starting line!

This is such a great idea! Unfortunately, can't pay for a subscription yet. Could I get a complimentary access, please? This would make such a difference. I am currently working from home and languishing with all PhD-related things. Thank you!

I’ll still be on holiday but I have my notebook, pencil case & mac with me. I also brought the intention of writing with me but can see that without the sprint I might not do anything, especially as I sit here next to the pool in the sun 😂 & I do want to write so this is my usual long winded way of saying I’ll join you!
Your holiday looks amazing! Of course you have your notebook and I am vicariously by the pool writing. It's raining here in Yorkshire this morning, but promises to perk up later. See you on the starting line - sunshine optional.
This August I'll be working on the final edit of my novel, before I put it to sleep and start on something new (September's sprint?)

Looking forward to getting myself motivated. The end of a long haul I hope! Giving the book one last chance. But also looking forward to moving on.

Hawley - that is so tough. I am sending much love and strength and cheering you on for a paragraph a day.

One paragraph a day is great progress Hawley - good luck :) Hope the sprint helps.

I absolutely welcome any and every bit of reinforcement !
Me and Cherly Strayed @Bec - we’ll popularise it in the end

A thesis is tough - looking forward to writing with you next week Aditi
Sure no problem - I've given you a free sprint. Good luck Aditi :)
