Writing Buddy

One of my 25 in 2025 things was to create a writing routine that worked for me as well as to find an accountability partner or writing buddy that was also needs support to write. I started the Writers’ HQ course called Couch to 5K Words which aims to get you writing 5,000 words in a month and in doing so, set up a decent writing habit. I tried this course once before in 2021 but life was very different for me then.

The course consists of daily emails with prompts to tasks which build up in time and effort gradually. It started with a live workshop where many of the participants joined a Zoom call. During the call, I managed to connect with a writer who was also looking for a writing buddy. We Whatsapp daily now to see how the other is getting on with the tasks and we have already talked about having a longer video/audio call so that we can talk through our current writing projects. I am stoked!

We are only on Day 4 but so far I am on track (once I have done today’s task). You can follow along with my progress on my book/writing Instagram @damnhardwriting.
