June 2017 Word War: Day Three

Jill here! We're hosting a summer word war this week on Go Teen Writers, and we've reached day three. I must confess, I'm not word warring this time around. Why, you ask? Because King's War (book three in the Kinsman Chronicles) is due. Today!

Whoo!

So I'm working hard to give the beast a few more tweaks and a major spell check before sending it to my editor at Bethany House.

I'm so excited.

But that doesn't mean I'm not cheering for you all as you get a lot of writing done.

What's a word war? 

A word war is when you and another writer (or in this case, lots of other writers!) compete to see who can write the most words in a designated period of time. Sometimes these are also referred to as "word sprints."

How does it work?

Write as much as you're able to today, and when you're done, leave a comment in this post about how the day went. You can share how many words you wrote, stumbling blocks, a favorite line you wrote, whatever you want!

You can also start mini word wars in the comments section of this blog, or on the Go Teen Writers Community Facebook group. (If you apply to join, leave me a comment on the blog so I can get you approved.)

The goal is to buckle down and focus on our manuscripts whenever we can, make good use of our writing time, and encourage each other as we write. Hopefully you'll be meeting new writers and deepening friendships as the war goes on!

How long does it last?

This word war began Monday and will end Friday night. It's a come-and-go, write-when-you-can style of war, so it's never too late to join, and you don't have to participate every day. 

Hope you have a great writing day!
