Hello there! This is Di. I've been thinking about this a lot and finally decided to do it. I'm creating this thread for writers on MDL to keep track with their writing. I'm passionate about stories and screenplays but as it's not my main line of work, it's very very easy to slack. I find myself more inspired to write when I see others are also working on their craft.
The Challenge
Step 1: Write a minimum of 30 Minutes Every Day
Step 2: Post your progress or your accomplishments on here from those 30+minutes you spent writing. I don't mean actually post what you've written (unless you want to). Just post what you accomplished for example "today I wrote three scenes in my screenplay", or "I wrote 500 words" etc.)
There's no judging on amount of work accomplished as everyone has their style and speed with writing. Do not stress, this thread is to encourage each other to write. I have a friend who wrote for 3 hours every day for a year and was able to complete the first draft of his 800+ pg novel. Obviously not all of us are blessed with a three hour window so I'm setting the minimum goal time at 30 minutes. It doesn't have to be straight up writing, even outlining, brainstorming and research is good, as long as you're working on it. =)
If you guys have any other challenges to offer, please do share!
NOTE: This is open for all writers, it can be poets and songwriters etc., not just story writers. Point is for everyone to be on track. =)
Critique
If you want feedback on your work, feel free to post it or link it and indicate you want feedback. It is your choice though. If you just want to share, we are happy to read!
My Writing
In addition to writing stories, I also keep up two blogs, one for dramas and one or Asian music that I update periodically. Feel free to share your writing sites on here as well.

If this gets big, we can move to a Discord channel for more communication but for now, let's use this! =) Happy Writing!!
