Stephanie here! Can you believe it’s the last day of our word war? I can … my brain is feeling a bit fried, to be honest. I’m looking forward to a day of reading as I fly home.
Here’s a recap of our day yesterday. This is us pressing on yesterday morning:
Here Jill is with ONE scene left to write in her gigantic novel:
And here’s Jill after she’d written her final scene: (How cute is she?)
And here we are on the shores of Lake Tahoe celebrating being out in the fresh air and sunshine:
We’re all taking off and heading our separate ways today, but the war is still going on here on the blog!
If you’re just joining us on the word war (or if today’s the first you’ve heard of it) here’s a quick recap:
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.
This word war began last Thursday and will end tonight! It’s a come-and-go, write-when-you-can style of war, so it’s not too late to join us!
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 do. Hopefully you’ll be meeting new writers and deepening friendships as the weekend goes on!
Here’s how you can connect with each other:
1. In the comments section of the blog. Something as simple as “Just wrote 1,000 words in the last hour!” is fine. There’s strength in being able to encourage each other and in knowing that others are hard at work too.
2. On Twitter, using the hashtag #GTWwordwar or on the Go Teen Writers Facebook Group. (This is a closed group, so if you’re not a member yet, apply to join and then shoot me an email telling me so that I can get you approved pronto.)
Looking forward to a long day of writing with you!
