This is my first year doing this contest - for real anyway - and I have to ask. What is a word buddy? I think I might get the idea, but would love clarification.
I also think I would like a word buddy or three. I have MSN, Skype, and Twitter. nanomail me. :)
Word wars are kinda done whenever someone wants to! Usually people will set a time frame and a time when it starts then just go.
If anyone who is not a part of the Official NaNo Skype Chat would like to add me, I can add them! We set up word wars all the time there, often quite a few a day!.
I'm looking for writing buddies closer to my age (21-35) Name: Rebekah Age: 28 NaNoWriMo Username: Rebekah1213 AIM/YIM/MSN/ETC Screen Name: I have YIM and facebook, but please message me for both (I also have a blog) Years Participating in NaNo: 2010 and 2011 How Many Have You Won: 2010 Location: Lorain, Ohio Story Idea For This Year: Murder thriller and it have very adult themes. Title: Driving Lies How do you write (word/pen and paper/etc): I write both with pen and paper and MS Word.
Great! I need a word war buddy as well! My time zone is UTC, and I can typically do word wars on Saturdays, Sundays, and weekdays after 2:20.
My primary mode of contact is Nanomail.
Also, I'm not really sure that I'm going to be able to chat with anyone or anything like that, so I think that it would be best to figure out how long we should write, and write using something like Write or Die. Then, you can Nanomail me with your word count.
I, like many of you, am looking for someone to force me to do things. I live in Washington State, and I can essentially write whenever, as long as someone yells at me until I do it. It'd be nice to do word sprints with someone, or share ideas, or anything at all that involves teamwork. Go team, etc.
If interested, you could PM me on here, but you'll probably get a better response if you email me at thoushaltabide@gmail.com or message me on Skype at thoushaltabide.
This is my first year and I've heard these are great if you're stuck. I'm so stuck I have yet to even begin. Can someone tell me how this works? I live in AZ so our time zone is f-ed up compared to the rest of the world. We never change our time for daylight saving, etc. I'm up late at night. Usually. Email is gingercide @ gmail (dot) com
I love word warring and a few buddies to war with would be awesome. I'm usually ready to war anytime from ten to four in the afternoon and then about eight to midnight.
My time zone is Mountain and I can chat through email chat (hotmail, gmail, yahoo), nano, twitter and Facebook. Just nanomail me if you're interested.
I'd love a word war buddy or two [or three... hehe]! I'm in PST, and you can contact me through nanomail to get my info. I have AIM, YahooIM, Google IM [Gtalk?], and Skype. I'm super excited for the upcoming nano and can't wait to make new friends! =] Good luck everyone!
I'm in the Pacific time zone but write late at night usually (I'm nocturnal). I have AIM installed and can also be found on twitter and facebook. Nanomail me if interested in becoming word war buddies.
Over in the Pacific Time Zone, and writing at odd hours (you know, those not taken by school and sleep), I'm definitely looking for word war buddies! They're when I write best, of course.
I have MSN and Facebook, and Google+ (although I still haven't done anything with that), just Nanomail me for details
Hello, I'd LOVE a few WW buddies! I'm in Thailand so...not sure what timezone that would be but take central time (US) and change AM to PM (or other way around.) I normally I'm kinda nocturnal in my writing so that could still be around noon for you US people. I sometimes use skype but I don't use any other IM so just PM me if you're interested and I'll give you my skype and email. Oh and I also have the desktop Write or Die meaning if you have that we can do WWs though that too :)
I'd love to have several WW buddies to duel it out with! As for me, I'm in PST time zone and usually write around 6 am for an hour and then again in the evening after 8 pm (except Wednesdays). Feel free to drop me a NaNo Mail. I also use Skype, Google Talk, Twitter, or FB.
I'd love to have a few WW buddies! I'm in EST time zone and don't write at any specific time, though I'm more likely to write at night/early morning. (Between 12 and 2 am, and sometimes in the morning?) I use AIM and MSN, but email works as well. Just send me an IM and I'll give you my info! :D
Yes please! I'm in Paraguay, which is a timezone I can't really remember but is almost the exact same thing as EST. I generally write at night, but afternoons are likely too. I'm on MSN and Twitter... and NaNoMail is awesome too! xD
Hi. I'd love to have a few WW buddies. i'm in GMT. I normally write between 5-8am and 4-10pm GMT. I write all day on the weekends. I have msn, skype, a tumblr. You can contact me through nanomail.
Hello everyone! I'd love to have some WW buddies. I live in the GMT time zone, and usually write during the day or in the evening. I have Skype and MSN, so feel free to NaNoMail me for details.
Hi! I'm in CDT (central daylight time). I have NaNoMail first and foremost, honestly... But also email and a phone (if you're willing to get that personal.) I'm a student, so the best time for me to write is around 5:00pm to around 9:00pm. I'm willing to get up early though, like, around 4:00am if that helps anybody. I also have WriteOrDie, for those interested.
Helloooo. I'm in EST (Eastern Standard Time). I have AIM: Hermionethebusy and I have email: steviethegreat05[@]gmail[.]com. I'm a student, so I'm usually on after 3:30-4pm. But after that, I'm around all the time. I stay up late, I get up early. And really, the majority of my word count is achieved via word wars.
If you DO AIM me, please make sure you don't just say 'Hi'. With spammers abound, I need a bit more. Say that you're a NaNoer or something. Thaaank you! And good luck!
Hello everyone! I am very new to NaNo, so can someone tell me what word wars is? I would like to do it and if you would like to be my buddy just message me and tell me what it is and I will gladly participate!
Welcome to the site, Liz Lee! Good luck with your NaNo :) The concept of Word Wars is very simple. Two or more people will pick a time... it's 10:53 for me now, so I would say that the time will be ":00" because I don't know which time zone the other person is. Then, at the ":00" (seven minutes from now), we will both begin writing for a predetermined amount of time. We'll stop after... say... fiteen minutes, and compare how many words we've written. Whoever has the most "wins"... but really everyone's a winner, because we're all a little closer to that 50K! =)
YAY word wars!! I want buddies! :) I'm EST, and I tend to write after 8pm, and anytime on saturdays/sunday mornings. If you message me i will give you my email! :)
I would love some word war buddies! I live in Detroit, so you know. Whatever time zone that is to you (I missed that day of school). I write whenever, so hit up my NaNo Mail!
I would be interested! I'm in...uhm...central time zone (in Iowa), I work Thursday - Sunday 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., so I'm generally on after work and on my days off. I have AIM, e-mail, gmail chat, and Skype which I'll put in my profile. If you can't find them just message me!
I'd love to have some word war buddies! I'm on Mountain Standard Time (USA), just NaNoMail me for my contact info. I'm in class till 5.30 each day but the weekends, but I'm up pretty late at night. I've email, Skype, AIM, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr all as methods of communicating. Skype works the best!
