READY! GET SET! GO!!!!

[tryslora]

This is your CHECK IN POST!


Get your pencils ready, find your favorite notebooks and pens, and wiggle those typing fingers to get them limbered up. The war is upon us!

1 ! The war begins as of Midnight, the START of Saturday, September 28th according to your local time. If I've calculated correctly, this post should be up in plenty of time that even the time travelers on the other side of the world will be able to start at the beginning of their own day!

2 ! The war ends as of Midnight, the END of Monday, September 30th according to your local time. You will have FOUR AWESOME DAYS of writing.

3 ! To participate, please check-in with a comment below. You may also post your beginning word counts in order to help you keep track of your progress. All members of hd_writers are welcome to participate! Invite your friends to join in!

4 ! Use this time to work on your writing - any project, any pairing, any fandom! You do not have to be writing Harry/Draco fic in order to participate. Any and all creative writing counts!

5 ! The hd_writers chatroom is there as always to serve as inspiration and encouragement, as well as the SrsBzns chatroom. Please try to stay on the topic of writing as much as possible during the word war! The SrsBzns room should be focused strictly on timed word wars without the additional chat. For inspiration, writing talk, encouragement, etc. please visit the main room.

6 ! You don't have to participate the entire weekend, just jump in whenever you can and do any amount of writing in order to qualify.

7 ! Remember to check back in with your final, ending word count within approximately 24 hours after the war ends! (We would appreciate if you could check back in with your final word count by the end of your day on Tuesday, October 1st).

8 ! ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS! Good luck everyone!

Thank you darling. I have been sneaking them in at work...shhhh - we were sooo very slow tonight.

[tryslora]

*zips lips* I won't say a word!

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

hehehe. I have four hours today. It's so hard to write in a notebook though.

[tryslora]

It is, and transcribing is annoying later, BUT... you still get to make words! Even if you're just making notes to yourself to make more words easier later (which is what I'll do longhand sometimes). Woohoo!

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

I hate transcribing. That takes forever, especially when I start to type, I change it as I go. haha

[tryslora]

BTW, have you tried writing in something like Simplenote on your phone?

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

I'm not "allowed" to have my phone when I'm working. We are there for the members and cannot text, etc.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Total Word War Goal: Any words are good. Let's say 1-2k, because i won't have loads of time.
Projects To Be Worked On: I don't know yet, part of joining the war is motivation to choose one!
Other Goals? Choose a plot/idea, plan./flesh it out and start writing it.
