MaCoWriMo

This year, we have declared that March shall be a month for writing! We introduce March Conejos Writing Month, a.k.a. MaCoWriMo. Without the distractions of the holidays or summer travels, we anticipate that many, many words will be written and our writing muscles will be given a good daily workout. Conejos Writers Circle’s regular meetings in March will be dedicated to sharing and feedback.

First, sign up using this form. Receive a daily email with a bit of encouragement and a writing prompt, in case you need a little jump start.

MaCoWriMo participants will have the opportunity to participate in several additional ways. You can pick and choose to participate at whatever level feels comfortable to you.  

Attend our group write-in, where we spend our time quietly writing in the presence of other writers and basking in our combined creative energy. Saturday, March 14, 9:00 a.m. to noon. Location to be announced soon. 

Friday Night Sprints – These are 90-minute virtual writing sessions. We will write like mad in 15-minute chunks and see how many words we can generate together. 

During the month of March, keep track of the number of words you write each day and enter your daily word count on the form we will provide here and via email. At the end of the month, we will have a group total that we can use to amaze ourselves and all of our collective friends.
