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 Friday, February 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 Sunday, March 2nd according to your local time. You will have THREE 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

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

Date: 2014-02-27 09:25 pm (UTC)Projects To Be Worked On: Tomorrow and Saturday, I'll be out of town, so I'll mostly work on my story for HarryBang at the hotel I'm staying at.

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Hopefully, I'll finish my HP-Horror Fest story during the next few days.

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? I want to write smut. It's terrifying because I haven't written one yet (ever!) But I atleast want to try it out. If it's an epic fail, well then it can always be one of those bad scenes that you read to laugh.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? Any advice for the above will result in a million virtual hugs!!
I don't think I'll finish anything this time because there's a lot to work on, but I want to atleast start everything. :)
Woohoo for everyone else!!
YOU CAN DO IT!!
