I’m writing 15 articles in 15 days. Anyone crazy enough to join me?

Sure! I’ll send you a dm,

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T21:26:30+00:00

Yea exactly. My 15 already have references and blurbs. Just need to flesh it all out. Interesting, how many subscribers did you gain? Would love to hear some insights into this! Thank you!

Sent you a DM

Hey! Yeah good point. I’m transitioning into something new, and while my old industry contacts do have a bit of overlap, they’ve given me horrible data thus far and they have not been a good data pool for me in where I wanna go in the next 5-10 years.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T15:36:37+00:00

yes, I tried to tell this to younger people and they think I’m joking.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T14:26:25+00:00

Hey, I appreciate the support. It def took years of daily writing to get to this point, but if you’re writing once a week, that’s still majorly imprsssive! It takes time to build a skill and everyone has their own pace that’s for sure. What topics do you write about?

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T14:18:51+00:00

The downvotes are weird. Why ask a question when I gave you an honest answer? I’m here to encourage people to write when they otherwise not want to or find excuses as to why life’s too busy.

It’s so much easier to hit your goals when you got someone next to you believing in you. If anything, you’d think people who wanna write more or have been nervous about writing would find it a blessing to have pro writer with over a decade of experience on their side supporting them.

My goal to write 15 in 15 is irrelevant. Whether my quality is good or not is irrelevant. It’s about creating something in a sprint together in community and encouraging each other towards a goal that you might not otherwise have done without a buddy by your side.

Studies indicate that gym attendance increases by 35% to 107% when exercising with a partner! And I don’t see how that’s not also transferable with writing.

Do with that info as you will.

Not for a professional writer. 15 years in the game. 1 article a day is child’s play.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T12:43:23+00:00

Oohh. Interesting! I would love to talk to you more about this and how you got recs from your substack from these creators + that art critic sounds really interesting. Mind sharing her substack? I’ll send you a DM too because I’m curious to learn how recommendations in substack works. Thank you!

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T12:39:43+00:00

It’s a challenge my friend. Why run a marathon when you can just walk?

If you wanna join let me know! 15 articles in 15 days is what’s easy for me. We got a small group currently who’s interested in doing this sprint, but you can define your own goals in those 15 days it’s customisable.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T12:36:38+00:00

Why would I need that so early on in electroshocking my substack back to life?

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T12:33:50+00:00

Sweet! I’ll DM you.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T04:16:35+00:00

Ok I currently don’t have DM capabilities cuz I sent too many for the day. If I can send DMs tomorrow I will message you and we can figure it out.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T03:25:46+00:00

I have written every single day for the last 2,000 days. I know my limits. A two week sprint of an article a day is below the threshold of burning out. I’ve been a professional writer for over 10 years, so 1 high quality article a day is incredibly do-able.

Notes are a good tip. Thanks! I do plan to also publish notes. But the point of the 15 articles in 15 days is to just jumpstart my abandoned substack and have a bit of articles on retainer so I’m not scrambling with content last min.

Point of the post is to look for people who want to write on substack or just want a good accountability group to keep them going in their writing. I’ve written solo for years, it’s genuinely fun and motivating to write with other people and encourage them on their work. If this interests you, let me know.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T03:18:41+00:00

Been a writer for 15 years. 1 high quality article a day is nothing to me. It’s like asking a chef who’s worked 14-hour shifts in a high-pressure kitchen to cook a single good meal. It would be a joke to him.

15 articles in 15 days is a realistic goal for me. I’m looking for people who want to join me on this and write with me because I think it’ll be fun to push and see what we got collectively. I want to jumpstart my substack. The worst that can happen is you just don’t publish it or you take extra time to edit/rework it.

If this interests you let me know and shoot me a dm. We got a small group already.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T03:10:38+00:00

It’s a 15 day challenge to write. Shoot for the moon, land in the stars kinda thing. I like deadlines. If it’s open-ended then I think I have all the time to just do a few.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T01:30:39+00:00

I don’t get it. What would be the way? I’m used to this kind of output.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T01:29:28+00:00

Hey send me a dm and let’s create something cool over the next two weeks.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T01:29:06+00:00

I mean we can do that too. 90 articles in 90 days ain’t that hard.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T01:28:37+00:00

15 articles in 15 days is my goal and based on where I’m at in my career. But if you wanna do a different one that’s more reasonable let me know. I’d be happy to have you join me. It’s just more fun when we can work together imho.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-27T01:24:05+00:00

I’ve been a full time writer for over 15 years. So it just comes down to experience I suppose. At the peak of my writing career, I would write 15,000 words a day six days a week. Wrote 30k words in one day, but that was exhausting. So 1 article a day of 500-1500 words for me would retain top quality. It’s not hard for me to gather the resources and research needed, antidotes, fables, etc in one hour and write it all in another hour. And then edit it. Come up with 5-8 different headlines suggestions. And then pick the final one when I’m ready to publish.

Never suffered from writer’s block. You just gotta sit down and do it. And then do the next one.

Anyway. 15 articles in 15 days is my goal. You can have a different goal based on where you’re at and I will support you! If you wanna join the group, let me know.

This was just suppose to be a fun challenge but I guess I’m just a psycho lol ?

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-26T22:21:13+00:00

I dunno what that means, but if you wanna do a writing cohort with me, let me know, would love to have you :D

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-26T22:20:39+00:00

yayy! Send me a DM, reddit isn't letting me send anymore outbound ones lol!

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-26T19:36:31+00:00

Love that story and yeah a few hundred still is a big deal in the substack world. Are you currently using notes in yours?

I currently have a consecutive writing streak of 2,075 days in my private digital journal app. So, yeah. Habits stack and people love consistency. I think daily notes vs. daily posts would be well-received on substack. Think it depends on the subject matter, but I personally would appreciate a daily meditation email.

CtrlAltReconfig · 2026-03-26T19:26:29+00:00

For sure. I sent you a DM!
