November Sprint Writers

So true!! Sprints are the best kicks-in-the-butt I've found to crank out words and keep them moving.

Ember, we're using Write-or-Die for the competitive sprints, which is here:

Scroll down about halfway and you can see where you can set your time goal to 15 or 30 minutes, depending on whether you're competing in a mini sprint or an official sprint. If you pause in your writing for too long, the site starts to flash colors at you and eventually starts yelling at you. It's fantastic! ...so long as you don't suffer from severe anxiety. A few of our Prep winners can't compete in the sprints because they don't handle "timed testing" well - the pressure of a ticking clock - but most of us are highly motivated by it.

Once you complete your sprint in Write-or-Die and report your final word count, you can copy/paste your words into their final home, whether it's a Word document, WDC, Scrivener, Google Docs, Evernote, or whatever.

Cheers,
Michelle
