We all have them. That story that's been collecting dust since the Second Age. That brilliant idea that there's never time to actually write. The artwork in need of completion or novel in need of polishing.
This year, we challenge you to take on one of those projects.
The Season of Writing Dangerously is open to all authors and artists in the Tolkien fandom who want to use the next three months to make progress on one of those never-quite-done creative projects. You don't have to pledge to finish, and you set your own goal. You can find answers to common questions and more information on how to participate on the Season of Writing Dangerously homepage on our website.
All participants and all participants who meet their goal will receive an award banner at the end of the season. Where and how to begin? Right here, by declaring your goal. We'll check back with you at the end of the season to see how you did and send you your award! (You can revise your goal during the season if you need to increase or decrease it.)
Remember, you set your goal, and no goal is too small or too ambitious! We're setting no limits on goals, just providing support along the way and shiny banners at the end!
We're also encouraging folks to sign up as cheerleaders and help cheer a participating author or artist to success! Please see this post for more information on what cheerleading involves and to sign up.
If you're interested in participating, please copy the text below and fill in the **starred** sections with your own answers. If you can't leave LJ comments for whatever reason, you can also contact the SWG mods, and we'll declare your goal for you.

Goal: **what do you hope to accomplish in the next three months?**
