Thanks for a wonderful year end sprint session! I did 960 words and I am thinking I can keep writing a bit more. See you in 2026! ##TWSsprints #amwriting

My last sprint was 409 words, was speeding along with story so was easier. ^ct Have a great day everyone and drop a note if you have time to let us know how your 2025 writing year went. I had a few essays published in anthologies, did some interviews + made progress with my book. How about you all?

STOP! #TWSsprints Great work #writers, if you've gone this far you've done your warm up for the day. Keep going if you can, because sometimes good writing can appear after a sprint warm up! #amwriting

@twssfu.bsky.social 310 words and feeling emotionally spent. Writing about Feminism and the 4B Movement is... A lot for a Sunday morning. 🤪😂

I'm working on an essay that I started last week and hope to submit it soon to for an anthology. Would be nice to finish off the year with another small piece that gets published. Been working a long time on my larger novel and will be querying with that this year too ^ct #TWSsprints

You can use #TWSsprints to freewrite and try out new ideas or styles of writing. Use as much of what you create in these sessions as you'd like. Sometimes it might just be a word, phrase or idea in these generative sessions that you can use in your writing.

Get ready by opening up a fresh page. Or if you prefer, get your pencil and paper ready! Time editing and proofing can also be part of your time spent in sprints. You can paste this later into your manuscript. #TWSsprints
