I do this with my romance writers forum occasionally, and I thought it'd be a great way to get people writing on week nights when everyone's sitting around, knowing that they ought to write, but having little drive to do so. I could open up a chat room and people could drop in between the hours of, say, 6 PM to maybe midnight or 1 AM and we can have little mini challenges, doing spurts of 20 minutes, and everyone posting up their word count of how much they managed to accomplish during the said amounts of time. I found this was a really motivator and god knows, I'm going to need something like that when tomorrow rolls around.
:D I'd like to get everyone's view on this and if you guys might be up for doing it, since we can only have write-ins on weekends, and this wouldn't really be a limitation for those of us living not in Seoul and those who can't make it to the write-ins.

hi there, sounds great, although i'll probably be a hermit for a while, but once i hit the 30k mark, i'll need LOTS of encouragement like this.
is it okay to join in in a couple of weeks? sounds kinda selfish, i know.

Sure, not a problem! ^^ You don't have to join the challenge to join the chat, but the challenge is optional for the people who find it hard to write by themselves (me, for instance).

Fionn and I just did our first challenge, a 20 minute write-off. It was fun!

Hey folks,
I started my novel at midnight last night, and got to 2,650 words. Tonight I want to get to five thousand. I'd be up for a writing challenge or whatever term we are using. Anyone with me? Reply and I'll see your response come in.
