Accountability Program
You will be using accountability to help you along, reporting in on your progress on the private group Facebook page two times per week. Access the Facebook group here.
Here's How the Accountability Program Works . . .
First, I’d like you to make a public statement of intention as a status update to the Facebook Group on August 9 (or before). You can copy this format if you like, but use your own words:In taking this challenge, I intend to:
- Write 700 words every day to complete a 60,000-word book.
- Finish writing the first draft of my book by October 25, 2017.
- Write a book that transforms lives.
(Again, fill in your own intentions rather than using my examples…unless they work for you!)
Second, every Monday post your goals for the week as a status update to the Facebook group using the following format:
Here are my Inspired Writing Goals for this week:
(These should be simple. For example, your goals might be: Write from 5-6 a.m. each morning. Produce 700 words per day. Write 5,000 words per week. Spend 2 additional hours per week on revisions or research.)
Third, every Friday post your progress toward your goals. On Friday, simply copy and past your earlier Inspired Writing Goals and write next to each one “A” for Achieved or “NYA” for Not Yet Achieved. If you want, provide a comment about how the week went for you. You can explain what got you off course or what kept you on course toward your goals. You can ask for support or pose a question if you need help.
Coaching Calls
As part of the challenge you also get support from me, Nina Amir, the first and third week of the month (with the exception of the first session) during a group coaching call. Calls are set for 60 minutes and take place from 9 to 10 a.m. Pacific Time; if there are enough questions, sessions might go as long as 90 minutes.
The schedule of calls is below, as is the call-in number. You can call in by phone or using your computer.
