What's a word war?
How does it work?
If you want, you can interact with each other in the comments section of this post, You can pop in to tell us how much you've written, to encourage each other, or even to arrange mini-word wars throughout the days.
You can also connect using the twitter hashtag #wordwar or on the Go Teen Writers Community Facebook group. (If you're not a member of this group, you'll need to email the moderators to be added: GoTeenWritersCommunity(at)gmail.com.)

I gave away one yesterday, and I'm giving away another today! This giveaway is only open to U.S. residents. You can learn more about the book on my website, and get entered to win below.
Hey guys! I know it's super-early in America, but is anyone up for a war?
ReplyDeleteYay word wars!! I have a little time to participate today. Does anyone want to do a war from :30 to :45?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone want to do a war between :30 and :40?
ReplyDeleteMissed it! Sorry. Do you want to do 40-50 or so? :)
DeleteHow about :45 to :00?
DeleteOr something like that. I missed the 40.
DeleteI keep missing these times! I'm sorry! Um, do you have another timeset to do?
Delete:55 to :05 or something would work for me.

DeleteI'm in if you still are!
DeleteAlright.
DeleteOnly 243. Last sentence:
DeleteI turned back and began to look through the skirt displays, almost everything in bright, warm, colors--reds and oranges, but mostly yellows.
How many words did you get? I got 291. It wasn't my best word war ever.
DeleteMy last sentence was: It was daytime, just after noon according to the sun's position.
DeleteNice! I think you won unless Emma got more! Good job...sorry for all my delays. Apparently research and word wars do not mix.
DeleteSorry, guys, but I wasn't able to participate!:/ Maybe next time!;) Great job to you two though!:)

I've been editing today. Got through 4 pages and added about 250 words. I would have loved to have done more, but this is my first day in a while that I've been able to work on my story, so I think I'm happy enough with it :) How are others doing?
ReplyDeleteThings are going kind of slow here, but I'm making progress! The 100 for 100 challenge has been a great motivation to write :)
DeleteYay! I love hearing that :)
Delete4:00-4:20 (central time) anyone? I won't be online at that time, but I'll probably be writing! :)
ReplyDelete:50-:00 anyone?

Great job! I got 263. :) I just started this book, so I'm having to bounce around a bit between my draft and research. :D
DeleteOh yeah, starting a book can be rough! Do you want to go again?:)
Delete-Emma-
I've got to take a quick break. Would it work at :00 for you?
