You…what? 😢 -

Sorry got called away again. There’s a lot going on here. XD
I got…umm lemme check…253! Better than last time!
Oh no! What are you doing to poor Greyl now??

Hope McClellan replied to the topic Spontaneous Word Wars (for slow writers) in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
Yep that’s pretty much how it goes. XD
Heh I’ll do the same. See you after 10 writing minutes!

I like the concept for Greyl, too. Sort of dryad-esque. It can be so fun to get into other characters’ heads! My WIP switches POV between my four main characters, and it’s a lot of fun. Most often it’s Asmund, who is an INFJ like me, so he sees things the way I do, he’s the most contemplative of a situation, and he’s observant so…[Read more]

Ooh I like it! I’m a little strange (aren’t we all, though?) I don’t usually like inflicting pain upon my characters, until I’m actually doing it. Then I love it. And I like writing arguments, too. I don’t know what it is with me. XD I guess it’s good that I enjoy all sides of writing, including conflict.
Well I’m a little late…[Read more]

Hey, I have not forgotten at all, just thinking things over. I need to check with a couple things and figure out how to set up a secondary email (I like that idea, Naiya!). If it all works out I would still love to join, because this sounds great!

I got 178. Told you you’d beat me. 😂 Even with the angst. Not I’m interested…can you give me a little hint at what’s happening?
Care to go again?

Sorry, taking care of sick family members today, so I’m getting started a little late. I’ll set my timer for ten minutes. 🙂

Hope McClellan replied to the topic Spontaneous Word Wars (for slow writers) in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
Bring it! 😉 Although you’ll probably cream me. I’ve hit a bit of a mental roadblock. All the more need for motivation!

Hiya, I know it’s a bit late to be replying to this, but if you’re still around, I desperately need something to get me to 200 words today. My motivation tank is on fumes and needs a fill up.

Thanks so much for tagging me! This looks amazing! The only reason I’m hesitation would be my concerns in sharing personal information. What is Google Hangouts? What information do I have to share? To be quite frank, I don’t actually know people on here aside from virtually, and I want to make sure I am keeping myself safe.

I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. 🙁 Even when you know it’s coming, it’s still rough. I will definitely be praying.
I am really happy to hear you’ve reached 19k! Way to go!! And that’s awesome you’re feeling motivated, too!
Yes, @naiya-dyani you do have gorgeous hair. I love the color too. Do you know how long in…[Read more]

I have read the Hobbit, but I have never seen the movies.
Hmm, that is a hard question to answer. And you may not like this, but motivation is different person to person. And situation to situation, too. For me, my motivation to write has come from a desire to not forget a story I’ve come up with, or because I loved the…[Read more]

(sorry, I got called aside to help with making dinner)
I got 257. 🙂 Way to go!!
The way I outline right now is something I learned from a writing course a few years back. I was a pantser until that point, and I was never able to finish a story. Using that outline was how I finished my first manuscript. (Which was a little under…[Read more]

Sounds great!
And I didn’t ignore your question about outlining; I’ll tell you after the word war. It’s not all that exciting. Idk if you saw the conversation I was having with Livi back on page…5 was it?…but I am looking for a new way of outlining that may better line up with K. M. Weiland’s ideas in her book Structuring Your…[Read more]

I left but now I’m back! Are you still good for a word war?

Hope McClellan replied to the topic Spontaneous Word Wars (for slow writers) in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
@anne_the_noob14 Absolutely!! I am always willing to lift up a prayer.
@naiya-dyani Yep! Some words is better than no words! And you helped me reach my daily word goal, which means I have met my goal eight days in a row–Monday to a Monday!! I have had that goal since I started marking my writing back last July, and this is the second time I h…[Read more]

Okay, so I FINALLY finished 15 minutes. All in all, with distractions and pauses, I got 186 words, so…. we both won, I guess? 😂
Oh goodness, you have a lot going on! I’ll be praying for you guys.

Hope McClellan replied to the topic Spontaneous Word Wars (for slow writers) in the forum General Writing Discussions 6 years, 7 months ago
Let’s go for it! I’m in the car and we’re close to our destination, but I’ll pause my timer if I can’t do 15 all at once.
