ANNOUNCING PARTNERSHIPS FOR 12/27/21 WORD WAR!!!!Tasha Van Kesteren/Carsie
Kara Baxter/Denali Christianson
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN WORD WARS AND YOU HAVEN'T SIGNED UP, PLEASE DO SO BEFORE THE 25 SO I CAN HAVE EVERYTHING ORGANIZED!!!!
Thanks everyone!
Okay, so technically "sign-ups for the 27 are closed," but if you still want to participate, I literally don't care lol.Okay, so here's how the December 27-January 2 word war is going to be: ANYTHING COUNTS. That means scrap writing, actual writing, character working, and synopses all count. The only thing that doesn't count is outlining, but if you do that, I've already disowned you. XD JK JK, You are loved. Your outline doesn't count, but you are loved. XD
Happy warring everyone! Remember to submit your word count by noon CST on the 3 of January!!!!
LET THE WORD WARS BEGIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually, it might work better if you join the World of Writers one. We're doing partnerships on this one and so you'd have a disadvantage as we have an odd number of people.

Hey everyone who was participating in THE COFFEE SHOP WORD WARSSSRemember to turn in your word count by noon CST today for it to count! (There's some grace since this is the first word war.)
Although if y'all want it to, we could totally make that a thing in the future! :D
True that. That's why I was thinking it wasn't. :)
I IS!!!!!!!!!!! Although school and speech has really bogged me so I'm not gonna be as active as I have been.
Okay... the winner of word wars was apparently me since I didn't get a word count from Tasha or Kara...Sorry Carsie...

Thanks!
You can share here, either works
ok. I got 1,901 words written that week.
Thanks! I got out of a slump and the words just kept coming and I wrote for forever

Don't worry about it. Honestly, if you got enough words to help Carsie beat Kara and I, I'll give you the victory. :)
What is a word war? Basically, it's this awesome thing where all the writers show up and record the amount of words they've added to their manuscript during a certain amount of time.
For example, a word war might begin on a Monday and go for a week, and at the end of the week, whoever has typed the most new words wins.
Knowing what this is, does anyone want to participate??? XD
Depending on how many people say yes, I'll either create a sign-up form so I can keep everyone straight or we'll just jump straight in!
