GYWO 2018 Finishers

[gywomod]

Now that the final numbers are in, we have one more post to wrap up GYWO 2018.

While we commend every writer who stuck with getyourwordsout through the entire year, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate the writers who didn’t just stick with the community but who also achieved their pledged goal.

Below the cut is a list of the writers who met or surpassed 100% of their pledge. With their name is listed either the percentage they achieved or the number of additional days they wrote and when they completed their pledge. Come celebrate these writers for completing their GYWO challenge! (If you want to check out the amazing word count and day count totals, see the 2018 Pledge Progress Spreadsheet.)

[linaewen]

How lovely to see my name here as a finisher! My secret goal this year is to surpass my Habit Pledge again, but before December.

[misslucyjane]

Congratulations, everyone!

[clarasteam]

*applauds wildly*

What an amazing list!

[nerakrose]

The first time I’m on the finishers list :DD

Well done everybody, also those who didn’t finish 🎉🎉🎉

[annofowlshire]

Hurray! We made it! And for those who did and didn't, here's to a new year of new chances!

[badly_knitted]

Congratultions everybody, both the winners and those who didn't quite make it. You should all be proud of what you achieved!

I am in awe of the word counts some people managed. Blows my mind!

[crimson_angel]

Yay!

I made the list!

Congrats to everyone!

[rosefox]

Shout-out to my fellow "100%, December" finishers, especially anyone else who clocked their last day on December 31. 😅

[schneefink]

December 30th, so close ;)

[nerakrose]

same! *high five*

[forestgreen]

Congratulations everyone! What a journey!

I’m so proud to having made the list this year for the first time since joining the community :D

I’m very hyped for 2019!!!!

[alobear]

Congratulations everybody! I think just being a part of this community is a huge boost.

That said, I may have set my sights too low last year, so I've doubled my habit pledge for 2019 - we'll see how that goes...

[wickedlittletown]

Congratulation everybody

[slightweasel]

I'm so excited to have finally made this list! Congrats to everyone else on it, as well. :)

[anoldfashionedgirl]

Congratulations to everyone! Some amazing accomplishments represented here.

[mirrored_illusions]

First year here and first win! Yay! :D

Congratulations to everyone who won and also to all of those who participated! It isn't all about the finish line, but about the journey getting there.

[theshadowpanther]

Hooray! So good to see my name amongst all the other people who worked so hard to get here. Congratulations to everyone else who achieved their goals, and pom pom cheering for those who didn't quite get there. You can do it this year!

[kurosakiami01]

Congratulations, everyone!! Seeing how many people won this last year is super inspiring for me, I hope to make the list in 2019!

[gorgeousnerd]

Congrats to both finishers and not (I'm in the latter category, heh). What a big list of finishers this year!

[velithya]

Congratulations to all 2018 participants! You all did great ♥

[setsuntamew]

Congratulations everyone!!! What an amazing list :D

[glitterforests]

Congrats everyone! It's truly inspiring to see such a long list of people who finished their pledges <3

[lady_ganesh]

Nice work, all.

200% of a 500K pledge, good goddamn

[gywomod]

TWO people wrote over a million words. TWO!!

[ravengown]

Congrats everyone!! Happy to be here for the first time now that habit goals are an option :) I bet that made a big difference in participation, I love it.

[gywomod]

We had more people finish this year than any other (a greater percentage of people finishing too), so we're going to crunch the numbers and see if the Habit Pledges had that effect.

[meridian_rose]

Congrats finishers! Good job!

[ladyjax]

It's really rad to see my own name included with everyone else. There were times when I thought my words were just crap and considered quitting. Instead, my brain kicked in and said, "Do the thing!" I did the thing. Congrats to everybody!
