Word Wars

I'm playing catch up with my goal this month, so if anyone is facing the same or just wants to get some extra words in by the end of the month, I'll be running word wars today from 2-4pm CDT. Come in for a round or stay for the whole session, let's make some words.

Schedule:
2:00 - 2:25 Round One
2:30 - 2:55 Round Two
3:05 - 3:30 Round Three
3:35 - 4:00 Round Four

Final word counts:
Dreamy - 1682
cmk418 - 900
sharpiesgal - 189

That's 2771 we didn't have when we started!

Unfortunately, I have to take my child to the DMV today so I won't be around. Good luck though!

Oh, that sounds like fun. Good luck to your child if they're testing and good luck to you if they're just getting a learner's permit.

Hope to catch you next time!

Yes, she passed her written test and now officially has her learner's permit! I'm really happy for her. :)

And I hope to join in next time!

I will be at the beach so I won't be able to. Good luck though

That sounds like a perfect way to spend a summer afternoon. Enjoy the beach!

I'm in! Be back then. Meantime... maybe I can put together my new, little writing desk that's sat in the box for a month now.....

Hope you got the desk together! Happy writing!

How does one participate in Word Wars?

Come back here. Type. I'll give start & stop times. And report words when you stop.

Well, we call it wars- but here it's mostly just some added motivation to write. We open up a WIP or new story and see how much progress we can make in a couple of hours- and report in every 25 min or so on what we accomplished!

Go!

Woot! Good luck -going to pick a WIP, now....

I've still got 10 drabble prompts to finish!

Nice! I'm getting a head start on a July Nano project- see if I can get one on a roll this Nano around. I might aim for some drabbles this weekend, though- good for pacing, and nice to get something *done* for once.

PS, like the icon. ;}

I've tried camp, but I can't stick with it the way I do in November.

About 200 for me. Will get better on the timing as we go.

438 for me first round. Good start!

Awesome start!

And we're off!

And that's all for the moment. Another 2 drabbles down for me.

873 total for me, for the two rounds- mostly dialogue for round two but i'll take it!

That's fantastic!

Let's get those words!

278 for me. Didn't get that third one done this time.

Almost a tie! 285 for me- switched to another fic, and took some time to get back on a roll. Happy for any progress, though!

Wow that's neat. I've been doing a little editing as I go which tends to slow things down.

Last round. Let's make it a good one!

Sneaking in for the final round. I got 189.

Woo hoo! Great job! Thanks for jumping in and joining us!

Sweet!

222 for me. So 900 total.

For me, 1,682 for the four rounds! Thanks for the word wars- really don't know that I'd have written half that today w/o them, and I have a chapter on a WIP almost done. :)

You did a great job!

I always seem to be more productive during word wars than other times. I think the added layer of accountability helps. Thanks for joining in!
