Word War! April 14th  


I am in South Florida so all times are EST.

time converter You can use Miami Florida for the original time.

Welcome to the weekly edition of our Word War.

I'm Vex and I will be hosting the battle every Wednesday.

I saw the last person to run it had a more formal post but we're not tracking the numbers so I think we can be a bit more relaxed.

Every Wednesday I will put up a post hopefully earlier than this one. ;) All jokes aside my net, phone, and cable all crashed last night and it took forever to come back. I know I could've worked without them but to be blunt I was frustrated and went to bed.

So as I was saying I think low key and no pressure are the way to go.

Word Wars will have no official sign-ups. You can pop in and out as time and muse allows/demands. If you would lie to leave some kind of I'm in a comment at the top of the hour for accountability you are welcome.

I will have the hourly posts preset just after the post goes up of course. All you have to do is find the hour you wrote for and reply to that hour with your numbers. Feel free to share any and all information you would like.t can be as simple as I managed 864 words to I wrote 864 words on my BB which is an A/u/ of Harley Quinn and Ivy running a boarding school for female villains so they can live up to their full potential and that Damien just keeps trying to sneak in and claim a room for himself. Or maybe your muse spits out 7 very hard-fought-for words but you bathed the cat and cleaned out the fridge. All three things are a reason to celebrate.

Let's cheer each other on and celebrate our wins and encourage better luck for the next attempt that maybe wasn't so great.

We can do this!

I haven't been awake long enough to do much.

Re: 11:00 AM - 12:00 Pm
There isn't a 10 AM one so I'll put it here. I didn't get any words written, but I got all my characters figured out, so I guess that is something?

Re: 11:00 AM - 12:00 Pm
Fleshing out your characters is a very big deal. You did great. Writing is so much more than just words on paper.

I on the other hand missed ten o'clock >_< don't do things before caffeine.

Re: 11:00 AM - 12:00 Pm
That's a good point. Thanks!

I normally don't like to write in the mornings, but I know after work I am too tired.

Re: 11:00 AM - 12:00 Pm
I understand that. You have to do what works for you. There is no one right and true way. I track my words on a word tracker and I have days where I write 500+ words and some I log in 15/ Yup, you read that right fifteen. It all adds up in the end. I learned a while ago my muse can be a horrible pain if he doesn't get his way.

Do what is good for you and your muse.

Re: 12:00 Pm - 1:00 PM
My day will be split between housework, caring for mom, and writing. Now that I am awake and ready(ish) to tackle my day I wrote 403 words.

Re: 5:00 - 6:00 PM
I'm late. I have no words but my Mom has her dinner. That seems like a fair trade.

Re: 7:00 - 8:00 PM
No words still but I did some research. That is kind of a win.

Zero words but phone calls were had.

Re: 8:00 - 9:00 Pm
Again no words. Do you see a pattern here? I did wash a load of clothes they are now in the dryer. YAY me! I had to feed my brothers cats and hang out with them while they ate or the big ginger boy will eat everyone's food.

Re: 9:00 - 10:00 PM
This hour saw no words but this hour rarely does. That's not true there is always an hour between 8-10 that is just helping mom to bed. I really hope we have more people next week so it's not just let's bore the pants off everyone with my life.

We're almost done.

Re: 10:00 - 11:00 PM
I spent an hour researching vodka. I hope people gt more done than I did.

Wow, last one for the day!

Re: 11:00 PM- 12:00 Am
Today it was our first attempt. I will do things better next week the Internet Gods willing.

I hope more people will show up. I managed a few things and wrote 642 words. Until next week :D
