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.)

Those who have come by too late, we appreciate your interest, and we hope that while you aren't able to join us officially, you'll make your own writing goals and achieve them. You’re welcome to subscribe to the community or follow us on

This is the post to make a pledge to write 120 days in 2018. This habit pledge is the perfect starting point for building a writing habit and making your writing life a regular part of your schedule. 120 days is the equivalent of writing every day for four months, but we recommend breaking it down so you’re writing consistently over the year.

For this pledge, the recommended pacing is:
• 10 days per month

You will not be able to change your pledge mid-year, so think carefully before pledging!

Signing up confirms that you have read the membership requirements for GYWO and your pledge, and understand that you will be required to check in monthly with your year-to-date day count.

Once you have pledged, please request to join the community. We will add everyone starting January 1.

Comments on this post are screened, but once you have been verified, you will be listed on the profile page under your pledge for 2018. If you have any questions, please ask on the Pledges & Requirements post.

Thank you for your pledge, and we can't wait to write with you in 2018!

This is the post to make a pledge to write 240 days in 2018. This habit pledge is the equivalent of writing or working on writing tasks every day for eight months of the year. That leaves plenty of time for life’s chaos and is still a major commitment to your writing life. If you have some unpredictability in your schedule, or if you have some planned vacations or absences, this may be the pledge for you.

For this pledge, the recommended pacing is:
• 20 days per month

You will not be able to change your pledge mid-year, so think carefully before pledging!

This is the post to make a pledge to write 350 days in 2018. This habit pledge is a serious commitment, demanding that you write or work on writing tasks almost every day of the year! (You get 15 days off for illnesses and vacation—use them wisely!) If you’re already writing most days and want a pledge to help push you into writing every day, this is the pledge for you.

For this pledge, the recommended pacing is:
• 29–30 days per month

You will not be able to change your pledge mid-year, so think carefully before pledging!

This is the post to make a pledge to write 75K words in 2018. This word count goal was originally created for any members dealing with recurrent or chronic conditions (including illnesses that flare and mental illnesses) which impact their writing lives. Being the primary caregiver or working two jobs can also impact your writing life. You do not need to disclose any information about your situation, but if you feel you have a significant impact to the time you have available to write due to conditions entirely out of your control, this may be the pledge for you. If you have any questions about this pledge, you are more than welcome to confidentially talk to a moderator. We want to do what we can to continue to support writers and treat everyone with compassion.

For this pledge, the recommended pacing is:
• 6.25K words per month
• 205 words per day

You will not be able to change your pledge mid-year, so think carefully before pledging!

Signing up confirms that you have read the membership requirements for GYWO and your pledge, and understand that you will be required to check in monthly with your year-to-date word count.

Once you have pledged, please request to join the community. We will add everyone starting January 1.

This is the post to make a pledge to write 150K words in 2018. You might think of it as three NaNoWriMos, but we’re hoping you’ll think of it as a way to introduce daily writing into your busy schedule. Pledging a Modest word count goal makes it easier to find time to keep on pace but still provides an excellent writing challenge.

For this pledge, the recommended pacing is:
• 12.5K words per month
• 411 words per day

You will not be able to change your pledge mid-year, so think carefully before pledging!

Signing up confirms that you have read the membership requirements for GYWO and your pledge, and understand that you will be required to check in monthly with your year-to-date word count.
