Year-End Marathon is an awesome way to get a taste of what GYWO is all about without committing to a full year. Come join us for a writing boost at the end of this year!
This is NOT the last day to sign up (sign ups end November 7th for all you procrastinators!), but it IS the last day before GYWO's Year-End Marathon begins! Need an extra writing boost over the holidays? We've got you! Come read all the info and join! getyourwordsout.dreamwidth.org/914471.html

I have not felt up to novel writing, so I'm accepting some Stucky prompts for fun.

If you want a structure, I always like location + word.

The number of people pledged this year has my brain boggling. Y'all got a lot of friends.
Friends, writers, today is the LAST DAY to pledge for 2025! We will not be accepting new pledges after about 8:30AM EST tomorrow!

Today is also the last day to CHANGE your pledge and you will be locked in for the rest of the year.

Get pledging, ya'll!

Hey!
Also, it's true.

(Also, this is me calling myself out; I just think it's funny to pretend otherwise.)
We're gonna need 8 people to go ahead and pledge so we can meet our first pledging goal of 215 writers so @theemdash will calm down. (She won't really, but it takes the edge off.)
Get Your Words Out is open to ALL types of #writers! We have people writing literary fiction, fanfic, horror, SFF, YA, poetry, nonfiction. If it's writing, it counts! If you need a goal to hit and a community to support you, come pledge for 2025! getyourwordsout.dreamwidth.org/835269.html

By "today" of course I mean "when I wake up in the morning and close the form." My insomnia may work to your advantage, late arrivals!

Every year I am surprised by opening @gywo.bsky.social pledge numbers, and every year I look back and find that this avalanche is normal. 😂

You all really do not know how much joy I get from the @gywo.bsky.social community and watching people join/find us. 10 days from now starts both the most stressful time and most joyous as our 2024 pledging opens.
The flood of new writers to our skyline is making me very giddy. 💙 -E

Another day making/updating spreadsheets for @gywo.bsky.social.

Hello, friends! How are you doing today?
December 1, 2023 at 1:33 PM
I write most original fiction in 3rd person limited past tense. A lot of my recent fanfic is 3rd person limited present tense.

I love 3rd person limited. 💙
Inspired by a recent conversation in our Discord server, what is your favorite POV and tense to write in? There are pros and cons to each, but which one is the most fun for you as a writer?

Team Steve is Bi and Bucky is gay.

It is only appropriate to point out: today is Daniel Jackson's birthday.

Also, please help me find people to follow. I feel like I've wandered into a dark room blindfolded and I do not want to accidentally poke any body parts.
July 3, 2023 at 6:24 PM
Guess it's time to set up the ol' fandom account on the new short-post-into-the-void social media app.

Follow for unhinged (and sometimes hinged) Marvel, Stargate, and whatever other fandoms I fall into a pothole over.
