Write(or draw) something every day of 2024 challenge

[irr11tauthor]

I've decided 2024 is going to be my year to finish a bunch of projects I've started, so I'm starting the "Write something every day of 2024 challenge!"

It could be 1 word or 10,000 words, as long as I take active steps to reaching my goals every day.
This will be my accountability thread.

Feel free to play along! Even if you want to join late, or don't think you can do every day, challenge yourself to see how many you CAN do!

This is not about speed, or who can do the MOST WORDS or anything. This is just about small, steady steps towards progress. I know for a fact I will have many days where I do the bare minimum just to keep a streak.

I highly support posting 1 or 2 line excerpts, or drawing/doodles you've written/drawn today. (This is not a promotion thread, so keep it minimum, and no links unless prompted.)

Everyday, I'll be posting how many words I wrote that day, and a line or two I think sums up what I accomplished in the scene(s). You can too if you'd like!

Let's see how long we make it!

[Lensing]

That´s a good idea.

I´m drawing something every day since may 15 2015
I didn´t skip one day even when I was sick, hungover or whatever.
Some days it was only a short sketch. I will continue it this year.

This year I will write one song every week. This week´s song is halve finished
right now

[Todoyama]

Oh wow, sounds interesting, what kind of song are you making?

[irr11tauthor]

Wow that's really cool!

I feel like we should open this thread up to share excepts and drawings. I'd love to see wht everyone is working on.

Thoughts? ;D

[Lensing]

The song is called "High Life Woman" and will be 1950s rhythm´n´blues / rockabilly.
I sing in 2 bands and I´m the bassplayer and songwriter in a third band. We have a female
singer so I always have to try to write from her perspective which is very challenging

[Lensing]

I think that´s a good idea and I would enjoy seeing the progress.
I´m collecting all my 30-60 seconds gesture drawings this year.
That´s one of the things that I´m doing daily

[irr11tauthor]

That's really cool! I wish I had any drawing talent let alone doing a whole drawing in less than a minute haha

[Lensing]

I have zero drawing talent but a lot of motivation to do it.
I´m also a very slow learner and I´m not able to see in 3d but
I found my way of doing things

The 30 second gestures are a really good excercise to capture the essential
rhythm of the figure and forget about the outlines

[irr11tauthor]

I mean, hey! That seems like a heck of a way to learn! Little dedication every day is sure to add up!

[irr11tauthor]

January 3rd: 1280 (before work. May update later!)

- Love, Blood, and Other Ways to Sell Your Soul

[Todoyama]

Wooow, no way! You are an artist, a comic creator and a songwriter AND you are participating too?!
Nah, that's actually really cool

[irr11tauthor]

Woke up knowing I wasn't going to have any time to write today, so squeezed in a whopping 89 words eating breakfast.

It still counts!

[Todoyama]

That's just the title​

[Todoyama]

January 3th: 10.000 words + I storyboarded out my first future comic strip

[igneriss]

What a nice idea, I'd love to join!
So, January 4th I've drawn 3 webcomic pages!
...however, I have to fix/redo one of them as it was raining heavily and the ceiling started leaking right on one of the pages, just my luck :c

[irr11tauthor]

Progress is progress even if you have to redo it!

Edit: some how I missed the part about the leaking ceiling when I was reading half-sleep. Dang. Hope it gets fixed. Sorry you lost your work T-T
