If you have any tips on writing you would like to give you can put it in this folder. You can also put advice (ex:spelling, grammar). Or you can ask for help on a certain subject or particular part in your writing. We will try to help as best we can!

Hey everybody. I want to invite all of you to participate in a new way of staying focused on writing - Word Wars!The idea is that the most difficult part of writing a novel is staying focused for a period of time, without getting distracted, and making the words appear on the page. What better way to motivate yourself to stay focused than to make a competition out of it? Word Wars is a writing competition based on word count. Participants all write for a set amount of time, at the same time, in hopes of ending with a higher word count then their competitors.
Word Wars is being organized via facebook group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/116342...
Add yourself and anyone else you think might be interested!
There will be at least one war a day, we can organize more if enough people want to, and we'll be varying the times of the wars so that everyone has a chance to participate regardless of schedules.
I wrote a personal best last night doing this, 1250 in an hour. My competitiveness drove me to stay focused on writing rather than letting my mind wander. It had the same effect for the others who participated. I hope we can spread the word so that other writers can join in!

That would rock!
I don't have a Facebook account.
Mmm well yea I guess we could connect it! I'll look into making a group for it, but I don't know if I'll have it up in time for the first war.Great idea!
I love it! I don't have a FB account either. GR would be a cool place to have something like that. I guess I could always borrow my brother's account tho. Lol. :) The idea sounds great! Thanks for sharing. :)
Heres the link for the Goodreads group!:) I had to rush create it to get it done in time for the first war, so its nothing fancy. But its there.The first war starts in 20 minutes (4pm EST) :)
