So, would anyone be interested in having a “competition” based around journal writing. My thought is that I always intend to start keeping a journal at the beginning of the year. And, I do it for a few days, before setting it aside as something that I just don’t have the time for.
If you are in a similar situation, how about having a competition starting on January 1st, 2026? This would be different from the Novel Writing competition. My proposed guidelines are fairly simple: 100 pages in 31 days.
What is a page? That’s somewhat subjective, but I’d say that should be at least an A5 sheet of paper (148 x 210 mm). Word count should be ~350 words per page.
You can use whatever you want: a paper journal, an eInk device, or any other note-taking device. (Phone, tablet, computer, whatever).
If there’s enough interest, I’ll set up a leader board in TrackBear where we can track our progress, and schedule an event for the community.
(Note: this is a re-post. I didn't realize that polls won't federate to Lemmy... So, please "vote" below with a comment.)
