Hey, so I’ve noticed we don’t have 1 of these. I love the community and I love chatting with y’all but I felt like something was missing that I really wanted on here. I figured out today that it’s a sprint channel. If you don’t know what sprinting is, it’s writing for a certain amount of time or to a certain time. Local communities might say the hour and the minute such as I’m writing to 10:30 a.m. or p.m.. But since we have so many time zones we’ll have to just say the minutes such writing until :45 or going to the top of the hour! If you were at CWW, you should know how sprinting works but if you have any questions let me know. Once we get into the swing of things we can try writing crawls or strolls. You can also join a sprint even if you’re not writing. A girl’s online camp called KDWC did this kind of thing and that’s where I was introduced to sprints, strolls, and crawls. I have created a few crawls myself. 2 of them are Odyssey themed. If you want to try a crawl, let me know and I can either find a site with crawls you can look at or I can share the ones I made. You should be able to look up crawls and find a bunch though but if you’d prefer I can look it up and send the link. I can’t remember everyone so feel free to tag whoever. Make sure to subscribe if you want to be notified whenever someone wants to sprint. I will definitely be doing that. Lol

I might try this sometime if I get the time. We’ll just have to see lol
Follow your heart, but take your brain with you.

Strolls are basically sprints but you don’t put pressure on yourself to write a ton.
Crawls are longer and have challenges with word counts usually. For example my AIO crawl has challenges such as write 500 words or sprint for 5 minutes. They sometimes have different options within the challenge like sprint for 10 minutes or write 250 words.

It’s not dumb btw. I had to have it explained to me more than once and even then I didn’t get it. Lol It might be easier for you to catch on if we try a crawl or stroll. That’s how I finally got the hang of how to do it. 😉

I’ll definitely participate! I’ve been doing sprints “with” Abbie Emmons lately but doing in on here will be more fun. (Abbie Emmons has a youtube channel and she does live sprints sometimes.)
He must increase, but I must decrease.

Of course! Feel free to jump in whatever you want. Lol

Great! Of course! I’ll make sure to remember that. 😊

Yay! I know who Abbie is!!! I like her videos especially the sprints and the ambience/instrumental music videos for writing. She’s a cute girl. Lol Yeah, me too. I think this will be better since I can actually put down my word count, last and/or favorite sentences, and everything. My family doesn’t have a YouTube account so we can watch videos with commercials but that’s it.

Whoo hoo! Yeah, she’s really sweet! Her writing videos are SO HELPFUL. I don’t have a youtube account either….so I can’t comment or anything. On here I’ll be able to participate a lot more!
So basically can we just come on here whenever we’re planning to write and put down what time we start, etc? Or are you going to plan a sprint ahead of time?

Come on whenever you want. Half or more of the time I doubt I’ll be here. Plus it’s hard to gage when certain people will be on. If you see a member, you think would be interested in joining you to sprint, on here at the same feel free to tag them. Also, you can tag me any time any of you start a sprint. I’ll join you if I have time. 😉 In short, no, I will not be planning a sprint myself and yes, you can start one yourself anytime you want.
