If you’d like to join us for one or both of this month’s 10K Days—Wednesday, July 25 or Saturday the 28th—you can start here by posting your RSVP in the comments section below.
Please specify which day(s) you’ll be attending.
Next step is to prepare yourself ahead of time so you’ll have the best experience possible. Mouse over 10K DAYS in the menu above and you’ll find more info.
WHERE TO GO TO PARTICIPATE
ON JULY 25 OR 28
To participate, return to the HOME PAGE of this blog on the morning of your chosen 10K Day. (Each writer determines his/her own start time.) You’ll find a special post called 10K Day: Live While It’s Happening! and that’s where you’ll be posting your check-ins.
The Live, While It’s Happening! post will give you pointers on what to post for your check-ins.
Please leave your RSVP/comments below.
See you at the 10K! ~ Milli
P.S. For writers who are participating from overseas and who are ahead of the U.S. in their time zone: I always post the check-in page on the evening of the day before the scheduled date. So feel free to write within your own time zone and to post your check-ins. We’ll be glad to have you warm up the page for the rest of us. 🙂

*runs* It is crazy how much I start looking forward to these. I’ll try for both days, but Wednesday might be iffy since that’s the day after my dad gets back from his mission trip. Who knows, I might write some of his stories.
So put me down for both!

Laura, I loved hearing about you running to the RSVP page as soon as you knew it was up. 😀
You’re down for both days – but we’ll know you’re busy welcoming your dad home if we don’t see you much tomorrow.
I’ll be here on the 25th for sure. With any luck, I’ll even be here earlier than what has become the norm for me. 😉

Lois – We’ll see you bright and early(ISH) tomorrow. Since my definition of early is not like other people’s, that gives you a big time margin. 😀
Haha! My definition of early is working out as soon as Jeff leaves, then working out more before I write. I likely won’t be here until after 11:00! 😛
Yay for the RSVP page! 🙂
Unfortunately however, I have no idea just yet if I’ll be able to attend this month. I sent my CV in to a few places, so most probably won’t know anything for sure until the 10K Day morning(s).
(However, I’m aiming for the 25th in case I’m free.)

Estrella – Here’s hoping that you’ll be free to join us tomorrow. At the same time, I wish you huge amounts of good fortune with getting some positive responses to your CV.

Hiya,
I’m going to R.S.V.P for the 25th even though it’s going to be an insanely busy week for me. Still, hoping to be able to devote several hours to my writing next Wednesday and join you guys. Always so much fun!
Twitter: fearofwriting
Carole, I love that you’ll be joining us tomorrow even though this is such a busy week for you. I have a feeling tomorrow’s going to be a magical writing day! 😉
Twitter: cjtreggett
I’m excited too, my friend 🙂 I’ll try and put aside the busyness for a stretch of good writing hours. I’m psyched now!

I look forward to seeing this RSVP page every month!! I will be here bright-eyed and bushy tailed on the 25th!!! Such fun to write with you all 🙂
Twitter: fearofwriting
OK, then! We’ll see you bright-eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow morning! (Journaling’s first up, right #journalingbud? :D)

OK! I’m in for the July 25th date . . . I think I may write longhand in a notebook, at least part of the time, to circumvent some shoulder issues I’m having . . . but I’m definitely in!
I’m one of the overseas people (Tunisia) so glad we get to have an early start– thanks Milli!
Twitter: fearofwriting
Hi Paula! Glad you found us and good luck with your shoulder. I hope the writing longhand will give you some relief.
The 10K Day check-in page will be available on the home page shortly, shiny and bright and ready for our overseas people to get started and warm up the check-ins for us. 🙂
P.S. Your website looks intriguing. Something different and unique! Will be browsing through it this evening as part of “getting into 10K Day creative mode” prep.

I’m in for the 25th.

A little birdie told me you’re in for the 25th. I’ll be waiting for you! 😀 xo

That little birdie is correct. 🙂 See you tomorrow.
Hi,
Things are a bit up in the air at the moment, but I am going to try for both days.
I have just started on my second book, so I am looking to get some serious word counts down 😉
Once again, I am not even going to try for 10K in a day, but if I manage 5K each, then I will be happy ;-P
Hope to see you then, and as usual, best of luck for all who enter.
Cheers

Hi there, Liam,
Starting your second book? How exciting! We will look forward to having our favorite Irishman with us on one or both of the 10K Days, depending on how you go.
~ Milli
Hi there Milli,
and thanks for those kind words.
The book outline has been collecting dust for almost a year now. Though I have done some technical research over that time.
It is very different from the first book (which is now a bit delayed due to proof reading issues <:-(
However, I just got notified of a seminar that I need to attend this afternoon at 6pm.
I will still try to put up a fair number, but the 5k target for the day is looking unlikely.
None-the-less, I will still try for the 10k over the full two days.
And, for everyone: I wish you the best of luck, and may the gift of the gab be with you!

I’m going to shoot for both days. I may be late on Saturday. Kevin’s band will play the night before and we won’t get home until late.
Twitter: fearofwriting
Pattikins, see you tomorrow at the regular time – and Saturday at the band groupie time. 😀
I’ll be here Saturday, for my first ever 10K day. I have no idea how I’m going to manage it.
Twitter: fearofwriting
Hi Peter,
Glad you found us and we’ll look forward to welcoming you to your first-ever 10K Day on Saturday. 🙂
You mentioned that you have no idea how you’re going to manage it. Does this mean you’re feeling a bit intimidated by the goal of 10,000 words? Or something else? If you can come back to this comment thread and repost some details, I might be able to help.
Cheers ~ Milli
I’ve wanted to participate in a 10K Day for months now, but something has always come up. But finally, I’m committing myself to Sat, July 28. I’m excited and feel wide open to the experience.
Twitter: fearofwriting
Welcome, Andrea. 🙂 I love the sound of you feeling wide open to the experience. I think you’re going to love it, and I’m sure we’ll enjoy having you with us.
We’ll see you Saturday on the check-in page!
P.S. When you’re ready to make your first check-in on Saturday, go to the top post on the home page. That post is called “10K Day: Live While It’s Happening!”

Hi everybody! I’ll be attending the 10K Day on Saturday (July 28). It’s going to be my first 10K Day ever and I’m looking forward to the challenge. Milli, thanks for inviting me 🙂

Hi Jasmine! Loved seeing your vox_vocis little bookworm smiley face here on the FoW blog. 😀
I’m excited about you joining us on Saturday. Glad to hear you’re looking forward to the challenge! I think you’ll enjoy the company as well.
See you then!

Wednesday was so productive and everyone is so nice! I had a great time and I’ll be back on Saturday hoping to add another 3K or so 🙂 Thanks Milli and everyone 🙂
Twitter: fearofwriting
Paula, so glad to hear you had a great time. I’m thrilled you can join us again on Saturday. It was sure fun having you with us (plus I enjoyed sneaking over to your blog a couple of times during the Wed event to grab some little tastes of your style of creativity).
~ Milli
Hi Milli and all,
I’ll join later today after a wedding ceremony and lunch reception. Maybe the wedding will inspire my writing later today!
Good luck all and see you soon.

Hi Crystal! Enjoy the wedding and reception. We’ll see you over on the check-in page later today. Will be fun to have you with us. 🙂
