Write every day, with a group that sees the words land
Writing alone is quiet in the wrong way. Nobody knows whether you wrote today, and after a week or two, neither do you.
A writing group on WhereIsMyBuddy makes the day visible. You write, you check in, and the people in your group see it. They are writing too, so nobody needs to read your draft for it to count.
What a group can look like
Morning pages
Three pages by hand, first thing, daily. The check-in is the proof; the pages stay yours.
500 words a day
Daily or weekdays, for a novel or a long project. Log the word count if you want the number to show.
One protected evening
Weekly, for people with one evening a week for the book. Start a shared session at the usual time and write alongside whoever joins.
A line in the journal
Daily, Gentle. One sentence counts.
What a check-in looks like
A writing check-in can carry a word count. The group sees the number beside your tick, and none of your words. If you want to share a line, add a note; notes and photos stay inside the group.
If you write on paper, a photo of the page works as well as a number. Or just tap.
Writing at the same time
Shared sessions help on the days you cannot start. Someone starts a timed session, others join from wherever they are, and when the timer ends everyone has a check-in ready to post. It is the closest thing to a writing room when the room is spread across a few cities.
Gentle or Committed?
Committed suits a deadline: a draft due, a month-long challenge. Five missed writing days in thirty and you are out for a week, which is a real reason to open the file on a tired evening.
Gentle suits journaling and morning pages, where the habit matters more than the count. A missed day resets your streak, and that is all.
Join a group, or start your own
Search Discover for “writing” to see the public groups already running, and join one in a tap. Private groups take an invitation, or a request the owner approves.
Or start your own in six short steps: name it (“Draft by March”), pick a cover, set the level, choose the days, decide who can find it, and look it over. On the free plan you can run one public group and one private one, with room for twelve people in the private one. Invite people with a link, or let them find you in Discover.
Questions people ask
Does anyone read what I write?
No. A check-in says that you wrote. Your words stay in your file. If you add a note, the members of your group can read the note.
Does editing count as writing?
That is up to the group. The owner can put it in the rules when they set the group up, so everyone counts the same way.
Can we run a month-long writing challenge?
Yes. Start a Committed group with a daily schedule and say in the description that it runs for the month. The streaks and the Sunday story make the month easy to follow.
I write on paper. Does that count?
Yes. Add a photo of the page if you like, or just tap. Photos are for the members of the group.
