About Our Events
Write-Ins
A write-in is where we get together to write! Sometimes it’s in-person, most of the time it’s online!
When we’re online, you can find us on our Discord server (actually, you can find us there most of the time, including all year round!), or we will be on Google Meet (because we know there are people who find discord difficult to understand, or who just don’t want to learn a new app!), which you can find at http://bit.ly/brightonmeeting, but only during the times set out above!
All of our write-ins combine a social aspect (we like to chat and have a laugh), with focused writing time in the form of word wars/word sprints/writing challenges! There is strictly no talking during these times, it’s just: put your head down and write!
At our in-person write-ins, we augment that with extra incentives like stickers and sweets (one for every thousand words you make at the event!), prizes for word war winners, and a double-headed dragon named Bunny & Clive (don’t ask, we don’t know)!
Socials & TGIO
Our social events are all online this year! This is your chance to get together with other local wrimos and chat about this wild adventure we’re all on together. Sometimes we play games, mostly we just chat about what we’re writing and how it’s going wrong, or how the characters have done something totally unexpected, or how to get out of the Week Two Blues. It’s very chill, and it’s the only time you have official permission from the Brighton WriMos to not be writing your novel 😉
The Annual Brighton WriMos Word Crawl Marathon
This is our BIG yearly event! From 10am-8pm we run hourly challenges (usually around a theme. It started as a virtual pub crawl back in 2012 and has evolved from there!), which you can take part in (or not, as the case may be). Stay the whole time, or dip in and out- or come back another day and catch up! It’s up to you. It’s great fun, and people who stay for the whole 10 hours (there’s a lunch break) often get 8-12,000 words in the day! We also have HARD MODE and BONUS CHALLENGES for those of you who get finished early and want to write more……
The Marathon is one of my (Cerys’) favourite days of the entire year, so I encourage you to stop in on Discord on Saturday 23th November and see how much you can write!
