Denton, the fabulos OLL Intern, has shared the wonderful existance of Hydra50s to us on twitter, telling us, "It's called the #Hydra50 after a friend who wrote 500 words in 3 minutes, but 'fifty headed hydra' was the only thing he spelled correctly!"

In a Hydra50, you write for 3 minutes, not hitting the backspace and not caring about spelling or grammar. Just writing as fast as your fingers can move.

Even if we can't get 500 words, I find this to be very productive! So who else is up for the challenge? :)

People seem to be slightly confused on how to define a Hydra50, and looking back at my deffinition, it could be better. :P

A Hydra50 is writing as fast as you possibly can for 3 minutes.

173 again. And yeah, every 10 minutes sounds good! :D

(I've never just let myself type like crazy before - while I do lock my inner editor up, I ALWAYS go back and fix spelling and grammar. This feels... Almost a little forbidden. It's terribly fun.)
