 Okay, we’re approaching crunch time, and I dunno about you, but I’m kinda scared. Everyone who has replied to big check in that we sent out haven’t gotten very far, if at all. And that’s okay! Because emotions can fuel writing, among other things.

Feeling scared is okay. The important thing is to keep going. Recognise that you’re scared (or whatever other emotion(s) you may be feeling), and continue on.

I believe in all of you. The pressure is getting more intense, but you can handle this. Take things slow and make sure to perform self-care.

You can do this!

We’re two weeks into the fest now, and it’s a great time to check in with your work. How are things going? Have you run into unexpected problems?


Not to worry -- you have six weeks left to solve them. So don’t stress out if the words aren’t flowing -- remember you can always check out the weekly challenges to help get things moving again. And don’t stress over your word count -- a lot can happen in six weeks.


A repeat of last week’s advice, as it’s important: make sure to eat and drink regularly, and also remember to take breaks. Sometimes a quick walk around the block, or even just a few moments stepping away from the computer can help when you’re stuck.


And remember that we believe in you. You’ve got this!

We ask that you give trigger warnings for anything that may be upsetting to some people.
If it is more than a few hundred words, we ask that you use a read more. It's the third button to the right of the little photo/image icon. It says "cut." It will then ask you what you want the cut link text to say (the default is "read more...")
 
There will be a separate post made every Saturday at midnight EST. Below you will see what Ryan Michael wrote for one of the challenges.

Below is a series of questions that we'd appreciate an answer for, but not answering is totally okay.

How is everybody feeling? Have you chosen a fandom to write for yet? Have you begun to write? How are you finding the activities so far? Did you try your hand at any of the challenges?
 
We hope to see some of your work in the writing gallery tomorrow (Saturday) on here.

If you'd like to give us some anonymous feedback, please click this link and just let us know anything you like or don't like, or any other feedback you'd like to give us.

There are two challenges. The first one is to get you writing (A), and the second is a difficult one to really get you thinking (B).

You don't have to do either, but you can do do one or both if you want. You'll also be able to show them off in the writing gallery here on Saturday.

Challenge A: Write either three days of journal entries for one character, or one day of journal entries for three characters.

Challenge B: In 100 words or less, describe your favourite thing, and then write at least 500 words about something you feel absolutely neutral about.
