200 Days of Magic

Today marks the 200th day of magic for me and my writing.  The Magic Spreadsheet that is.  I owe a lot to The Magic Spreadsheet.  I owe it thousands of words, several stories, even more story ideas, and even a rejection letter.  It's been a wild ride marked by sleep deprivation and a few nights consisting of what some would call caffeine abuse.  The bottom line is that I did whatever it took over the past 200 days to write 250 words or more everyday.  If you are a writer and are not familiar with this piece of magic, you may want to read on.

250 words a day.  That's your goal.  It's not much and that's the point.  It's achievable.  Achievable goals are good because when you reach them, your confidence is boosted and you can move on to bigger goals.  Bigger goals come with the spreadsheet too as you level up.  With each level, your daily word count goal goes up by 50 words.  Even though 250 keeps your chain going, to get your full allotment of points, you need to reach your goal everyday.

There were some unfortunate issues with the spreadsheet recently.  Things were slowing down and people were having lots of trouble putting there numbers in.  Some people left the spreadsheet because of these issues, but they are fixed.  There is a new Magic Spreadsheet now, and everyone is welcome.  So come on over and get your daily writing habit started.

It won't be easy but it will be worth it.  You can't get better without practicing your craft so sign up and get to it.  200 days from now, you too can have a 200 day chain.  Good luck!
