Writing, Editing or Working on Other Writing Goals in April? Join our Regional Trackbear!

 Image: A peach background with a darker line graph on it with 5K, 10K, 25K and Words up the arrow on the left and April 1 - 30, 2025 written under the arrow at the bottom pointing to the right. Text at the top reads: Join our Trackbear Goals Leaderboard for April. There is an orange line going up from left to right diagonally with the PCSockmonkey Writers Polly Esther and Pierson logo between it and the bottom bar of the graph.

Okay, Sockmonkeys,

I didn't get around to setting up any of these during the first quarter, but I figured many people are very used to focusing on projects during April, so I made it a point to put together a Trackbear leaderboard for this month for any who would like to use it and also see how other Sockmonkeys are doing with their goals.

Trackbear is a free app/site that allows you to track your individual projects as well as to join group leaderboards and see how others are doing with their writing goals. You are welcome to set any goal  you'd like for April - writing, editing, etc. This leaderboard is a way we can all virtually cheer one another on, even if we're not all working toward the same goal.

I don't want to post the invite code publicly, in case random internet folks stop by, but if you're interested in joining and don't have access to the Facebook group or our Discord, send me an email at PCSockmonkeyWriters@gmail.com and ask for the Trackbear code. I'll email it back as soon as possible so you can be part of the Sockmonkey Leaderboard.

This isn't sponsored or anything. Trackbear is a free site. Go to https://trackbear.app/ to sign up if you're interested and haven't done so already. (You can also import your past projects from the other site if you don't want to lose that information - but maybe not for much longer! More details on that in another post.)

I hope you decide to join us!

Our 1st Quarterly Potluck and Writer Get Together of 2025!

 

Image: Dark blue sky background with a few yellow stars in the middle and lighter blue clouds at the bottom. PC Sockmonkey Writer Quarterly Potluck! is at the top. Text at the bottom in black reads: Sign up form links and more info can be found on our blog. Image in the center looks like a torn out sheet of lined paper with the PCSockmonkey Writers logo in the bottom center and the words "Whether you're writing, editing, plotting or letting a story sit for a bit, please join us so we can connect." above it in black. Upper left corner of the paper a yellow box with the words We're trying something new and this is our first in 2025! Right corner of the paper has a red paper clip. Lower left corner has an open book and lower right corner has a two tone ballpoint pen.

 

 

 Hello Sockmonkeys!

 

Sorry, I know it's been a while since my last update, but here goes.

 

I mentioned at both of our potluck events last Fall that I was hoping to start quarterly get-togethers, like the ones in the fall, in the new year to give us more chances to visit in person. It's taken me a bit longer than I hoped to get this first one set up, but the library room is reserved and I hope you'll stop in and say hello if your schedule allows.

 

Whether you're able to bring food or a drink to share, please RSVP on this Google form to let us know you plan to attend and use this potluck form to let us know the general food item(s) you're thinking of bringing if you're able to do so.

 

You're welcome to join us whether you're able to attend the entire time or not, so I hope you'll join us!
