@hannah-c No it’s not quite a word war. What you do is tag someone and set a time to write for; half an hour, hour etc. It helps you stay focused and stops all those annoying distractions. When you have finished your time you can post how much you got done.
WARNING: @daeus doesn’t like high word scores. So if you do write with him. Just tell him you got 20. 🙂
Editing still counts. You don’t always have to put your total up there.@hannah-c Tessa pretty much said it. It’s a time commitment. If it were a word war, I’d lose every time unless I wrote so fast I ended up with junk. The goal is just not to loose focus the whole time. That can be hard if you are writing for an hour, but with this, you have accountability so you really have to stay on track. It works. You can also set yourself a personal word goal for extra motivation.
And it’s ok to post high word counts. I’m starting to develop an immunity to them.

@hannah-c Oh, also, Tessa, Kate, and I regularly do this for an hour every night from 8:00 (ET) – 9:00. The only exceptions are that it’s just on weekdays and on Tuesdays, Tessa can’t do it at the normal time, so I’ll do it and then post my word count and she will do it later and post her’s. Also, Tessa and Kate aren’t doing it this week, but I’ll still be doing it if you want to join in

@daeus awesome opossum sounds good. Thanks! I’m going to try to do mine earlier in the day but I’ll post my word count then. I’m going to try to edit three pages a day (at least) in order to finish my book in a month so this will be great!

@hannah-c I’ve been wanting to write more during the day. Maybe I’ll join you.

@daeus wonderful! I’ve been trying to write sometime in the afternoon like between 1 and 4.
HC
@hannah-c I don’t know if I can concentrate for three hours, but I should be able to handle 1 1/2.

@daeus haha! As talented as I am I cannot write for three hours straight either. 😛 I meant I try to write sometime in that time frame.
HC
@hannah-c Ah. I thought three hours was quite a lot ?

@daeus hehe yeah. So 8 your time would be 5 my time so that works out great. 🙂
HC
Ah yes. Writing. I need to do that. Anybody up for an hour or so?
@hannah-c, were you wanting to do it at this time, or was it some other time?🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
I’m about to write for the next half hour so if anybody would like to join me then pop back on here in 30 minutes and we’ll see how well we did. 🙂
HC
@hannah-c Oh, I missed you. Feel free to tag me whenever you do this cause I’m normally open. It looks like you started 15 minutes ago. Well, I’ve been writing for a half an hour, so I’ll just keep going 15 minutes more.

@hannah-c Well I was writing for 45 minutes, but I got 389.
… Not very good really, but I regard anything as better than nothing.
