I figure it's time for another reminder about a great LJ community called Thing in 150. This is a community that operates continuously and encourages people to write 500 words per day.

Thing in 150 evolved from its the desire of its members to do NANO, but we weren't able to commit to writing a novel in the month of November. It was more realistic for us to do the "500 words per day thing." So, Thing in 150 was born. The theory is that after 150 days of writing 500 words per day you will have written 75,000 words, which is the goal for NANO.

The thing that I love about Thing in 150 is that you don't have to feel pressured to write everyday or post your progress every day. It's a very comfortable community of writers who welcome and encourage any amount of new words or progress. I have a habit of posting 500-1,000 per day and then posting nothing while I'm editing, but the great thing about Thing in 150 is that I know it's there waiting for me to return. Plus, it gives me a great place to post daily writing progress without gumming up my personal blog with that info.

Thing in 150 is for any writer at any level. So, if you're interested in a welcoming, encouraging community of writers, you should come check us out.
