So there was a little talk about how this whole thing works. As a result, I'm trying something a bit different this week - putting people's names in categories! There's a list for people who wrote, a list for people who didn't, and a list of the people I'm not sure about. If you're on the "not sure" list, tell me what you did or didn't write that week and I can move you to one of the others. Preferably the "wrote something" list.
Related, there is a special announcement below the week's progress. Those interested in the list of things I wrote this week, just wait a bit and I'll make another post about that.
PEOPLE WHO WROTE THIS WEEK:
PEOPLE WHO I AM NOT SURE ABOUT:
PEOPLE WHO DID NOT WRITE THIS WEEK:
ANNOUNCEMENT
You may have noticed that this thing has been going for a while now, but not that many people are regularly writing each week. (Also that I often don't check back with people and keep writing "Not Sure" for them.)
This is first and foremost a personal growth thing, so I don't want to be just jumping in and assigning rewards and penalties based on my own thoughts alone. But you, the writers who signed up for this thing, probably have at least some idea of what mix of rewards and penalties might work for you.
So, here's a new thought I'm tossing out there so we can see what we do with it. Come up with a personal incentive system. You don't have to tell me what the specific rewards or penalties are, but if you say something like "I will reward myself if I write five things in a month" or "I will punish myself if I go two weeks in a row without writing", I'll make a note of that. Then, each week, I'll note who gets rewarded/shamed/whatever.
Or you can just do this on your own and not tell me anything! That's fine too. But if you tell me, I'll keep track of it here.
Nobody's obligated to do this, but if you think it might help you, feel free.
