The Idea Behind Follow-Through
Across our years of work with writers, we’ve seen the impact of accountability.
Since we often write in isolation, nobody knows if we don’t show up. It’s all on us, and when life gets busy, writing is usually the first thing to slip.
When you invite a few Accountability Partners into your process, that changes. Someone sees your progress each week and cheers you on, and showing up becomes easier.
It doesn’t matter whether someone is writing their first story or finishing their fifth novel, or whether they write fiction, poetry, or screenplays. Writers who set a goal, track their progress, and know someone is following along keep coming back to their project.
Follow-Through brings that same structure to your week.
How It Works
01
Set Your Weekly Goal
Sign up and choose what you’ll track: your word count, your time spent writing, or the days you write. Then set a target for each week.

Invite Your Accountability Partners
Choose up to three people. Once they accept, they’ll receive your weekly progress and can send you a cheer.
For Your Accountability Partners
Being an Accountability Partner takes very little time. Your Partners don’t need to sign up for anything or download anything. They just accept your invitation by email.
Each week, they’ll get a short email showing how your week of writing went.
Partners can stop receiving updates anytime with the link at the bottom of any update.

We never see your writing. Follow-Through only records what you log, such as the date, how long you wrote, and your word count.
Only your Accountability Partners see your progress, and only after they accept your invitation. They see your name and your weekly progress, including your progress since you started. Beyond them, only the people who run Follow-Through can see your information. We never sell, rent, or trade your information.
You can ask us to delete your information anytime at followthrough@writersclc.com, and we’ll delete it within 7 days.
