I think it'd be fun to have a topic where you can have writing sprints with other people! Similar to reading sprints, you'd asked to see if anyone can sprint for a couple of minutes at a certain time. I think this would be fun and help the brain flowing. At the end, you can post back here and say how many words or sentences you got :D

Amy Thomson This sounds like an awesome idea!


message 3: by Alice (new)

Alice (alice20) Oooo I like the idea too! DO you guys want to do this with me?


message 4: by Amy (new)

Amy Thomson I would love to do this, buuuut (there's always a but, right?) I'm so bogged down with work at the moment in school, when my work load gets a bit lighter I'll be the first to do it.:D

Alice (alice20) Aww ok :(


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 150 comments So how does this works? I'm a bit curious?


message 7: by Alice (new)

Alice (alice20) I think it's kind of like a buddy-write, where you and a partner kind of motivate each other to keep writing by sort of "competing" with each other to find who can write the most in a specific amount of time.

At least, that's what I gathered from Cindy's post...

Sorry I haven't posted on here in forever. But to clarify, a writing sprint would look like this:

Who wants to sprint at :45 for 15 minutes??

And during that time, you would just write! And then after, post how many words you got ;) does that make sense?


Iesha (In east shade house at...) (emberblue) | 150 comments Cool, I'm up for this too.!!!!
