I'm looking for a writing buddy to talk to and have sprints with every night or every other night.
I have a goal of 500 words daily, which is failing miserably with work right now, but once I start back up in college I should be okay with getting it. It's also the reason I want a buddy to talk to, so I don't feel lonely and have the need to do other stuff instead of writing.
I then try and have marathons every weekend, the aim is whatever I didn't get done during the week, plus a bit more over 3/2 days, with the idea of an all-nighter on Friday or Saturday. You don't have to, we could be in different time-zones, so still be talking to one another.
Just thought I should post this, and see what I get back.
We could exchange email addresses and could talk that way. I'd love to have someone else who would push me to actually FINISH NaNo this year. Let me know.
I'm up for this, though I'm not sure about sprints every night ... I get 2 hour's sleep a night but I never know when I'll finally drop off (I would love to do the allnighter if my broken wrist is up for it.
My email address (you're not allowed, apparently, to write it normally) is mwinrow1(at)sky(dot)com
That goes for anyone who wants to write to me - but please put the title of this thread in the subject line.
I am always up for a little talking to people - especially people whom I can motivate and the other way around. We aren't too far from each other either, so if my plans don't get in the way, I should be able to do word sprints every night/often, and probably also a few all nighters ^^' If you should feel like it, send me a Private message, and I'll send you my mail there ;)
Hey, I'm looking for a buddy for the months of February and March. I want to get at least half-way into my novel before we move in April. Once April rolls around I won't be able to write much because we'll be in transit and driving all over the USA. If anyone thinks that the world is over-populated, drive across the U.S, you'll find that it isn't. :p
Hey, I'm going to bump this up to the front. I'm looking for a writing/accountability buddy who wants to write about 1000 words a day (I'm currently in the brainstorming process). I'm on EST, an up until 1 a.m here.
Ok, I need a writing buddy to get me back on track. I'm supposed to be writing 1k words a day but I might have to cut that down... Anyway, I need a very positive and encouraging buddy and in exchange, I'll be just as positive and cheerleader-esque. I'm also willing to read any excerpts sent to me and offer advice (well, opinions) when asked. I write fantasy that is meant to be romantic and funny. I'm on PST. Nanomail me if interested and we'll exchange emails.
I'll be here all of February. I am in Puerto Rico. Usually from 5pm to 8pm EST. I'm working on short stories right now, but in March I'm doing the Petrarcan Love Sonnet challenge.
If anyone needs to talk, look me up in Google talk or through this thread. I'll be watching for those in need of conversation. This has been a lot of help for me, so I'm looking forward to give back.
I really want to finish my dystopian manuscript by June if at all possible and I am continually getting stuck. I don't like handing out my email address over the internet but I would do NanoMail. So just Nanomail me if you want to be my buddy! Thanks!!
Having trouble staying motivated. Email/nanomail/whatever works for me :) I tend to write bursts on the weekends, but I want to get in the habit of writing consistantly on weekdays too, so I keep the momentum going.
I am also looking for a writing buddy as well. A little about me, I have turned my nano novel into 2 novels, both of which are unfinished so I have a lot of work to do. As well as that project, I have about 20 short stories i have outlined and ready to be written. It would be nice to have a buddy to keep me motivated,bounce ideas off of, etc. If anyone is interested, drop me a line. :)
This is a common enough request that I'm going to go ahead and sticky this thread. There are also writing buddy threads stickied in the genre forums, the age group forums, and All Ages Coffeehouse. :)

Re: looking for a writing buddy
Can we buddy up, Unforgivable? Just message me and I'll reply right away! In fact, I've hit a bit of a wall in my revising and I need someone's help.
Buddy? :)
Re: looking for a writing buddy
Hey all... I would like a writing buddy, but I don't think that I can do sprints.... I'd like a goal of adding 1000 a day.
If you're interested, let me know!
