I got done what I wanted to do this sprint. I might try to update Fictionary outline or wait until the next sprint. Decisions, decisions.

Time’s up! 🚦

How did it go? I’m finally catching up to where I [should have been yesterday] - I got 590 words that time. How about you?

Look away from your screen - give your eyeballs a break - & we’ll finish up w/a 20-minute sprint at 10:40. (Illustration from Public domain vectors on Unsplash)

I've been whining and complaining since I got up. This word sprint is what I needed to finish today's chore...I mean, chapter. 😏 #NaNoWriMo

Ready for a 15-minute word sprint? We'll write until 10:35. ⏰

Optional prompt: An anonymous note shows up in your main character’s jacket pocket and makes them cry. 😭 Who wrote it? What does it say? (thanks to Olga Thelavart on Unsplash for the pic)

And, GO!

Just a computer, tea, and a copy of the War of Art. I love No Plot, No Problem😅 I need to find my copy! This year I discovered spending a few minutes whining and complaining about writing before I start (yes, I have a file) really helps😎

On day 11 of #NaNoWriMo I wrote 1731 words. (18892/50000)

The witches had a rough night and one of them is not a morning person. (I feel very 2D today. :D) #writingchallenge #novelnovember #writingcommunity #writersky #art #aquarell #watercolor

Welcome to Word Sprint time! 🏃🏻

We’ll start at :05 w/a 10-minute sprint to warm up our fingers & brains.

Need a prompt? Try the fish-out-of-water scenario! Get your main character out of their comfort zone and watch the conflicts fly.

⏰ We are 15 minutes away from word sprint time!

I’ve got @chrisbaty.bsky.social’s No Plot? No Problem! 📖, hot coffee in my bookworm mug ☕, and M-n-Ms in Gramma Lucy’s candy dish to reward me after each sprint (only 4 at a time, then back to writing).

What are YOUR word-sprint must-haves? 💡
