Word War Weekend! Day One!!!!
CBI staff: pick up your notepads and a pen, start up your computers and your word processing documents. It's day one of our epic word war weekend!
Let's pit ourselves against one another and see just how can write the most over a three day span! (Or five, if you've got the extra long bank holiday! ;-))
Of course, it would be pretty awesome if you work on your Reverse Big Bang fic, but our word war weekend extravaganza will allow you to take into account any piece of writing that you do over the course of these three/five days.
So, no excuses! Just write.
Please feel free to spam this post with regular updates of just how you're doing. I really don't mind (and neither does my cat, Zara, who is helping me with this post. In fact, she's quite the taskmaster. And says you should all write and write lots. How can you refuse a fluffy face like this?
There will be prizes in the form of banners for anyone who makes their target. So, let us know what your target is first and foremost!
There will also be prizes in the form of banners for the person who writes the most on each day and writes the most overall. So yes, more incentive to write and write lots!
If you're not sure where to start and want some prompts to get you going, here's some inspiration to go your way:
"Three words that can change your life forever." -this is this month's challenge prompt on Paint It Red, so if you can post it this month, you should enter if you use it!
Serendipity
Magic tricks
I need you like a hole in the head
smile to keep you grinning at the madness of this world
Finally, if you need some assistance in the old writing department, here's some handy applications which may help you:
Write or Die - for those who work best with negative reinforcement.
Written? Kitten! - if kittens are your idea of positive reinforcement!
yWriter - if you're writing a novel...
Now, what are you waiting for? Really? GO GO GO!
