wcwu chat room tonight at 7:45 PM EDT and get set for a smackdown battle of words. At promptly 8 PM sharp, the clock starts ticking and everyone will have exactly 30 minutes to write as many words as possible.
She who writes the most words will suffer eternal glory and be given a crown, not unlike this one (cost to be charged to winner's credit card of choice).
Writers rejoice and come join us for a half hour of frenzied creation.

Date: 2013-06-14 03:35 am (UTC)I had aikido until 8:30, after which I had to go to the supermarket, so it was after 9 when I got home and saw this post. So...how did it go? After some initial reluctance to try it (b/c I am such a slow writer), I found Word Wars to be really useful. I was warring with much faster writers, but I made some really good progress on the story I was working on.
Hope you guys had fun!

Date: 2013-06-14 01:13 pm (UTC)Yes, word wars are surprisingly useful. I normally don't write in solid half-hour stretches, and I can't do so without the discipline of a battle (and a crown on the line). Of course, it helps having a story that's all but writing itself - over 5k the last two days!!!!
We did have fun. Will you be free tonight?

Date: 2013-06-14 02:33 pm (UTC)I have my usual Friday dinner date with a friend from work, and we may continue our efforts to catch up on Supernatural with another episode from my DVR, but after that I may stop by chat and see what's up. Oh, and I need to do a few edits on my pairings story - it's just about ready to go, but I'm posting tomorrow. :-)

Date: 2013-06-14 03:47 pm (UTC)Actually, it sounds like it was fun. I was busy writing for another fandom, but be sure to update for the next epic battle and if I'm around, I'll steal your crown. The gauntlet has been thrown down!
