GYWO 2020 Finishers

[gywomod]

Now that the final numbers are in, we have one more post to wrap up GYWO 2020.

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 2020 Pledge Progress Spreadsheet or look at the community totals and progress over the year at the 2020 Progress page to see how close each pledge level came to hitting 100%.)

Woah! Totally awesome. Great job to everyone who finished, and to those who did their best along the way. I hope to join these numbers this coming year, and am excited to see what me and my fellow 2021 pledgers can do!

[theshadowpanther]

Welcome!! You got this!!

[refugeeoftumblr]

Aw, thank you! It's exciting to be here!

[mixtapestar]

Congrats everyone! I'm so happy to finally be on this list after years of attempts. <3

[theemdash]

I maybe get a little teared up whenever I see someone achieve their goal after many years of attempts.

[refugeeoftumblr]

Hard same, friend!

[craterdweller]

Way to go! Congrats to all the finishers!!!

[vriddy]

That's amazing!! Congratulations, everyone!!!!

[kizzia]

Waves pom-poms for everyone.

Have to admit I’m quite proud of myself because I upped my habit pledge from apprentice to journeyman in the middle of the year and ended up writing almost every day for the last 6 months to meet target. Have pledged master this year with a goal of writing every single day, so fingers crossed!

[badly_knitted]

Yay for everyone who did it, and for those who tried but didn't get there. It's been a really tough year.

I am seriously awed by the million plus brigade!

[tiny_ninja]

Congrats to everyone who finished!!

I adjusted my goal in 2020 in order to remind myself that yes, it's okay to take breaks, and I ended up meeting my original Master pledge, which was my stretch goal. :3

Woot woot

[duochanfan]

I've been trying for 8 years to hit the 1 Million words in a year, and doing this has helped me so much!!!

Everyone here is amazing!!! YOU ROCK!

Re: Woot woot

[gywomod]

Awesome!! I'm so glad we were part of helping you achieve your epic goal!

[theshadowpanther]

Everyone did a great job!! Congrats to those who fulfilled their pledges, and to the million words plus! Whoooo!

To those who didn't meet their pledges, you got this for 2021!!

[ponygirl72]

Congrats, everyone! This was a super-challenging year, and it looks like 2021 will be just as nuts.

[gywomod]

Hopefully slightly less so. *crosses fingers*

[paragraphs]

Darn good thing I finished when I did, since I went and broke my hand in October... :)
