The Word Counters Union, which many of the members call Word Count Buddies, is an informal group of bloggers who have all agreed to write 100 words daily on our creative writing projects and prominently post an account of what we’ve done each day.

The whole thing is partly inspired by the concept behind National Novel Writing Month, where the point is not how good or bad the writing is, but just to keep writing . . . and eventually to get the story we have in our heads out into our hands. And to keep everyone honest and motivated, we also check up on one another frequently — daily, if possible. Anyone who misses a day of writing receives a friendly flogging.
