PSA to a selected few individuals

[lagilman]

For those who've been saying "oh, I meant to join the Word War group...." we're at it again. [or will be, once the caffeine kicks in]

For those who missed the memo and are intrigued, Word War is simple: one chatroom. As many people as show up. 30 minute bursts of dedicated writing, followed by a ten minute stretch-and-chat session, then another burst of writing. Whoever accomplishes the most in each burst gets bragging rights for ten minutes. It's not for everyone, but a lot of us find it suits the "must work"/"need socialization breaks" needs of a day.

What time of day does Word War start? This is something I need to do...

[lagilman]

The first bodies -- being in Ireland and points thataway -- are often in by 6am Eastern, if not earlier. The East Coast seems to stagger in between 8 and 9am Eastern, and we start getting the West Coasters mid-day. The evening sessions used to start around 10pm Eastern, but I haven't been in for one of them lately....

Is there some prerequisite, such as having been published?

[lagilman]

Nope. Just for folk who are serious about getting Writing Accomplished. It runs about 60/40 on any given day, although there was the one day a total newbie wandered into to find four pros bitching about the work, and had to be talked off the ledge before she realized that yes, it was okay, she was welcome there....

I am so marking that to go join you some afternoon. Any idea if people will be in this Friday, by any chance? *is plotting a day of massive writing attack happening then*

Afternoons are iffy -- a lot depends on if someone is having a hot streak in the morning and wants to stay, or if the west coasters come storming in...
