How do you do these? I can't even begin my frigging writing...I need the help and heard these are good for that.

358. Going again at the :10, is anyone wants to join. I find 10 minutes to be the perfect amount of time if I have trouble thinking around a plot hole.

You're going at 10 past? For 10 mins? I've never done one of these (or NaNo) before so I'll give it a shot...

Yes, I try to space them a minimum of 10mins apart for finger stretching, bathroom breaks, getting a drink, etc.

Good luck. Next one is the :30.

I'll go at :30 too. That really helped - got me over the 1000 count!

Yeah, it's the perfect amount of time. Not too long not to short. I did a bunch of 15 minute sprints this morning so my shoulders are kind of sore.

Good luck!

I'm going again at the :50, but you are welcome to do any time you like.

I think I need to stick with other people so that I actually do it! May join you at :50. Need to work on upping my count each time.

Alright, I'm taking a little break. My shoulder is complaining.

Here's how I usually set up my sprints:

:10
:20
:30
:40
:50

with 10 minute breaks in between to finish a scene or check your WC or whatever. Good luck everyone!

Should be a :00 at the top. Shame we can't edit posts yet.
