Admin Post: GYWO 2024 Finishers

[gywomod]

Now that the final numbers are in, we have one more post to wrap up GYWO 2024.

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. Alongside their name we've 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 2024 Pledge Progress Spreadsheet or look at the community totals at the 2024 Progress page to see how much we wrote as a community.)

So many of us, that's awesome! *confetti*

(And it's really cool to see the overall numbers!)

[gywomod]

253 finishers! Which is still under like 40% of the ending community. Even though that's a lot of people, it's still a really hard thing to do!

[kalira]

It is! Taking a crack at the year-long goals is already impressive! And it's super how encouraging and supportive the mods and community are of all of us. ^.^

[nerakrose]

not me staring at the people who completed the Master +16 days thinking 'but shouldn't it say +5' until I realised that I had the numbers the wrong way around AND that this year was a leap year... I'm very impressed!

congrats everybody, and well done!!

[xfirefly9x]

Much shiny! ♥

[vriddy]

Congratulations, all! :D

[triskaideka]

:O Is 40% pretty average for the yearly completion rate?

(Congrats to everyone who clawed their way across the finish, woo!)

[ofmonstrouswords]

the dopamine hit i got reading this

congrats all!

[veronyxk84]

I don't know how I managed to miss this post, but I found it through the discord announcements.
The progress page is impressive!
Congrats everyone!

[gywomod]

In recent years, yes!

Since we introduced the Habit Pledges, the finishing rate has been between 39-44%. (With the exception of 2020 which was just a very weird outlier year.)

The all-time completion rate is 30%, to give you a source of comparison. The Habit Pledges have done good things for writing consistency.
