The rules are:

1. Each post is either a hundred words or more/ or you can make a graphic/art
2. However the number influences you, go with the flow! I don’t care how you use or abuse the number! (I’ll give some suggestions/ideas/other languages to help you along if you get stuck!)
3. Post anywhere – tumblr, amazon.com, your journal, AO3, the dreaded ff.net, your bedroom wall, etc.
4. There is NO time limit.

And the number shall be ...10!

Go forth and create!

Word Wars/sprints for Sat. Nov 7 (Or Sunday depending on your timezone :)

Firstly, comment at haldoor's Go Nano Go for today's checkin. I know I promised earlier posts and I totally failed. Darn that work thing - as in I had to go :P I'll do better tomorrow.

Just a quick posting for times for Saturday's Word Wars and Sprints. As Saturday is the turning point from week 1 (one of the easier NaNo weeks) to the dreaded week 2, I'd like to bank a few extra words. So here's the times I'm proposing:

Sat 6am Pacific Time which is Sat 2PM UTC - planning on offering sprints/wars until 8am (4pm UTC).
Sat 8pm Pacific Time which is Sun 4AM UTC - at least one hour maybe 2 depending on how much energy I have.

We can either do 2 sprints of 25 min with a break in between (total of 4 sprints for 2 hours) or we can do longer/fewer. I'm open to suggestions. I normally make playlists for the correct duration so I don't keep looking at the clock.
