looking for a writing buddy http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/life-after-nanowrimo/threads/49577 S.L Mahon 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.

It would be really good to have a writing buddy to give me the push I need. I write mostly fantasy stuff and currently have about 5 ideas for stories none of which I have gotten very far with. I live in England and would be available most nights. I want to be writing at least 500 words a day if not more to try and get me to finish at least one of my ideas. I may not be able to write too often at the moment though as my laptop has died and needs replacing and I'm awkwardly stuck on my iPad. Feel free to drop me a private message if my offer is of any interest.
