Hey guys! As a frequent Cdubber, I have found that “sprinting” and “racing” are extremely beneficial in my motivation for writing. Sprinting is for collaboration and encouragement, and racing is for those competative people who think contests make everything better. *cough cough* *whispers: “That would be me.”* *cough cough* If you haven’t ever sprinted or raced before, here’re the rules:

Sprinting – Writing With Others

1. Write a comment saying that you’re starting to sprint at so-and-so time. To make time-zone conversions easier, skip the hours and say something like, “Starting at :25” instead of “Starting at 9:25”. Hopefully that makes sense. XD Tag some people to sprint with you and you’re on your way!
2. After you’re done writing, post your word count and/or time and the last line you wrote. Then the people you tagged can cheer you on your success!

Racing – Writing Against Others (Nicely)

1. Write a comment saying that you’re starting to race at so-and-so time. To make time-zone conversions easier, skip the hours and say something like, “Starting at :25” instead of “Starting at 9:25”. Make sure you add a finish too, i.e. “Racing for one hour from :25 to :25!” Hopefully that makes sense. XD Tag some people to race against you and you’re on your way!
2. After your time runs out, post your word count and/or time and the last line you wrote. Then compare your scores with others’ to see who got the best word count and time!

If you have questions, feel free to tag me! Have fun, and let me see smoke come from those pens – er, keyboards! 😉
