What they said 🙂 And I’m a slow writer too. So I feel ya. One thing that helped me was taking breaks (even if I felt like I should sit there longer and pound out the words) and go brainstorm and think through what I want to be happening next. Usually that was inspiration enough to get me writing faster after I came back.

Also, way to go!!!

Well I just wrote 625 words for fun so I’d have at least something to contribute. 🙂 Hopefully I can get in a little bit more before the impromptu word war is over!

Keep it up Rillumen!

:O Look at you all with your word counts! Nice work!!!

I completely didn’t see this until like Thursday or whenever @wordsmith poked me. 😛

Well I wasn’t planning on writing at all this week. (brainstorming and prep for NaNo and all)

But there’s got to be something I can write… Y’all are very inspirational. Well here we go!

@cassidy Welcome to Rillumen!

Riding horses?! How fun! Do you have your own horse?

I’ve only ever rode a pony by myself. It was a very stubborn pony and took me in every direction I didn’t want to go 😛

What story or book are you currently working on? We’d love to hear a bit about it!

@scribbles

Oh my goodness you’re more ornery than I originally thought!! :O  XD

Yes, yes of course that’s where Evangeline gets it from.

*dives in to save you from drowning in confetti*

That’d be a terrible way to go!

@wordsmith

Oh. I see. 😀

Is very sorry for you brain-ache.

btw… @scribbles

I just read the story. <3

*dumps a truck load of confetti on you*

😀

@wordsmith

Umm… it’s not like I set the confetti on fire or anything 😛

*throws a confetto in celebration*

*blinks*

*throws a bucket of confetti*

*nods*

That’s more like it. 😀

@scribbles

GAHHH!!! I reads it. I loves it. Nice work!! Your Italian flair is so great!

I’ll be back for more! (tag me if you like when you’ve posted more. )

@scibbles

*runs to be the closest to you* *squeezes you so you can’t breathe* 😁

WE WON!!! And now I cantc stop bouncing up and down cause ENOUGH WORDS TO WRITE THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. GAHHH!!! That is ever so many words.

High fives y’all!! Nice work!

*runs to grabs the mountains of muffins I prepared* So happy we can use them for a victory…[Read more]

*is so proud of everyone* WE PASSED OUR LAST WORD COUNT?! Gaaahhhhhh!!! That’s incredible!

*makes mountains of muffins*

@wordsmith Bwahaha! 😀 I vote for Burglar Monkey. 😛

Final count: 10,277 words

WAY TO GO RILLUMEN! I love the encouragement and enthusiasm that happened here this past week.  Y’all are the best! (and did so well!)

*goes to bake y’all muffins*

@scribbles

I’m praying sweet Scribbles! <3

Writing is such an emotional job. 😛 I’m so proud of those 1,700 BIG FAT WORDS that you put on the page this week!!!! And I so feel you when you say that the previous you is cringing. I dislike seasons of waiting in writing just about as much as I dislike pickles (which is a LOT). It’s painful, but…[Read more]

@brandon-miller

Wow look at all you brave people voicing this struggle as a writer. (That’s hard to do!)

Also, I didn’t see this until now, so good thing God isn’t constrained by time.  🙂

I’m praying for you as well.

God will help you get just the right amount of writing done this school year. No more. No less.

Can’t wait to see what He does!

*blinks* I’m away for one day and that’s when everybody’s here! *wails loudly*

Well now everyone knows who’s the extroverted writer. 😉

Great job everyone!!!! Look at us. It’s not even the weekend and we’ve got words gushing into Rillumen.

@wordsmith

Mars… I like it! 😀 After party on Mars y’all! Bring your space helmets and I’ll provide the oxygen. If anyone has a spaceship, now would be a great time to let us know.

@wordsmith

Sweet!

I propose muffins, and confetti and the sharing of story paragraphs. I wanna see more of what ya’ll accomplished during this war. 😀

@scribbles @wordsmith @pookiemonster

I’m back and writing if anyone else is. 🙂 (until I have to go sand that is.)

Y’all are really blowing this word count out of the park!

We should throw a word war party at the end of the war for the sanity of our brains. XD

@brandon-miller @scribbles

Both those lines are brilliant. 😀

(Oh dear Melody, you would go and find a skunk.)

Favorite so far :

I splay my fingers like I was offering someone a high five. A few feet in front of me, the air cracks with a bolt of green light that shoots it’s spiny fingers across a seven foot radius. The lightning gathers in a c…
