Thank you all so much for taking part in Writer In Motion Summer 2020!
Because of you, round three was a huge success! We had more participants and editors participate than ever before! We’re inspired by your bravery in sharing your writing process with all of us. All the hard work you put into planning and crafting each revision of your story showed just what kind of dedication it takes to make a story shine! We know just how scary it can be to share that messy first draft, but after the past few weeks of revisions, your works have blown us away as you forged them into full-fledged stories with heart, courage, and thrills.
We hope you made connections that will last a lifetime and learned that sharing your messy, yet beautiful creations can only strengthen them further. Now is the time to give yourself a huge pat on the back. You’ve done an incredible thing, laying bare the details of your editing process and showing your enthusiastic support for your fellow writers.
Thank you and congratulations on a story well written! We look forward to seeing all of you again for round four!!

Participating in Writer in Motion this year was really fun. I’m still surprised by the story that I ended up with, but I’m really proud of it, too.

I’m glad I joined. Writer in Motion was a chance to workshop along with writers of many levels and backgrounds. and I plan on coming back and dragging my writer-friends along.

I’m a writer, not a sharer. I scribble down my ideas, then tuck them away in a file, drawer, notebook, folder somewhere. Never to be seen by anyone but me. Especially not a first draft.

I was super nervous going into Writer in Motion. Ridiculously nervous. Despite the lovely encouraging responses when I asked about it during one of the Q&A sessions on Twitter, my imposter syndrome went wild and I almost chickened out several times.

I entered the Writer-In-Motion Challenge hoping to get some big break-through information from a professional editor. I wanted that sword that would cut down rejection and get me to YES!
Truth is, I got more than that. I got, “Wow, Maria, the voice in this is amazing!”
Voice. That magical, unteachable thing. That how do I get it, thing!

When I first heard about Writer in Motion, I’d misread the signup date as June instead of July and then spent an extra month wondering if I’d have a chance to do it after my mistaken date came and passed, but it only made me more excited at the chance!

The Writer In Motion project is now over, and it has been quite an experience.
I have never done short fiction before, so this was a baptism of fire and a half, given the tiny word count.
Writer In Motion Week Five: Final Thoughts
Kay S. Beckett
And Writer In Motion is finally over. Two months ago when I saw Writer In Motion blowing up my Twitter feed, I was hesitant. As an introvert, I’m really not that outgoing on social media (July was the most I ever posted as part of the WIMGames), nor like to share my writing until it’s been refined quite a bit. But I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and decided to take a chance by signing up.

Writer in Motion is a group of writers who take a writing prompt image and blog their drafts—from first to final—in a four week period. In this post, I reflect on my journey. I don’t know what it is, but I typically do horribly with writing prompts. If they don’t immediately spart an…
