Book-in-a-Week (BIW) writers are connected through a list created at Yahoo. The main purpose of the group is to write, but we also exchange information, publishing news and kudos. Anything writing related. BIW writers submit goals to the list the week prior to BIW. They decide their own goals. Were just here to help with the support and accountability. The group works on the honour system. During BIW, writers write as much as they can and post their daily totals to the list. To stay motivated we recommend checking in everyday whether you write or not. No editing, no going back over whats been written. Write, write, write. What is important is getting the words down, creating a first draft. Editing and revising comes later. Some members actually finish a book in one week and for others the only time they write is during BIW, thereby giving BIW a double meaning. The BIWs are scheduled a year in advance. The most traffic on the list is generated during this week but it doesnt end there. You are welcome to stay and be as active as you like. We have some regulars who participate every month and some who only participate a few times a year. Check out When in the navigation bar to find out when the next BIW will occur. We have members from all over the world: The US, Canada, India, Ireland, Australia, France and Taiwan. This BIW list unites writers from all walks of life, published and unpublished. We hope youll join us. The Staff at BIW
