kateSorry about the absence everyone. Like most people, my social media experience has shifted, and a lot of what I used to do on Dreamwidth has shifted to other places, like tumblr and twitter. I am kisahawklin nearly everywhere, so if you use those services, hit me up! I'm floundering uncomfortably for the most part, but I'm there.
There are a few things I still do on DW, and they are writing communities and![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fandom_stocking! I love fandom_stocking, I absolutely do it every year because it often brings some inspiration into the end of year/beginning of the new year lull. My stocking is here and here is the tags list, if you're interested in finding some prompts and dropping some love. I've volunteered to help fill underloved stockings, and if you're interested in something like that, you can volunteer to fill stockings here. fandom_stocking is such a deep well of inspiration for me, I hope it is for you all, too.
I take part in two writing communities. The first isinkingitout, which is a smallish community of writers with a minimum wordcount goal of 75,000 words for the year. It's very casual and supportive and generally consists of weekly check-ins and chatting. Sign ups for inkingitout go on until December 31, 2017.
The second writing community isgetyourwordsout (a reference to Wonderfalls, yes!). This community is much more rigid with lots of guidelines, lots of different kinds of posts and motivations, and several specific pledges you can sign up for. This year there are two types of pledges, which make me super duper happy. The first is a typical wordcount pledge, from 75,000 to 500,000. The second is a habit pledge, where you pledge to do something writing-related (including outlining, editing, and other things a lot of people don't count toward "wordcount" (I do, but hey, I'm all about counting every word I put out there)). The pledge levels on that are 120 days, 240 days, and 350 days. There are a lot of sign-up posts and whatnot, so I'm just going to include their little banner here for you.
