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.

How did you do?
Week 2 is the hardest NaNo Week there is. Just plug away a little every day and you can reach your goal.
So proud of you for still being here!

Hello, I'm @ansleyashe.bsky.social signing in.
Let me tell you 3 things about me. (That you can't find on my profile).
I just finished knitting a baby blanket for my friend's first grandbaby.
I'm staying at my mom's farm until Tuesday.
I drink more tea than coffee, but it's a close call.

I love hiding little easter eggs in my writing, especially royal ones.
And speaking of Royals and easter eggs, here is a set of photos from 2021 of Queen Margrethe (blue sweater) painting easter eggs with her son and daughter-in-law, Frederik & Mary, and their four children.

Kronborg Castle served as the setting for William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. (The play used the anglicised name, Elsinore, which comes from the surrounding town, Helsingør.)
Crown Prince Christian took this photo of Kronborg Castle while flying over during a military exercise.

Hey Earlybirds, It’s @gertrudedaly.bsky.social! I managed to pull myself out of bed and am making a pot of tea. 🫖
Writing sprints begin at :10. But I will be back before then with details.
I am going with a Denmark Royals theme, but tea comes from the charity Historical Royal Palaces in the UK.
