Time to match something up with a day of the week! I think Wordy Wednesday was a great little title, but I really want a Word-War.

After installing an awesome writers software called Write or Die I have discovered how truly easy it will be for me to make my NaNoWriMo goal this year and to entertain a real word war.

If you don’t know what a word war is, it is a competition between two writers with a set amount of time. The first writer that either reaches the goal or writes more than the other, wins! Easy, right?

Write or Die makes this competition easy. I love that you can actually see the progress bar of your opponent updating next to yours. Okay, so there was a mini review on the software.

What I am going to do every Wednesday is challenge the world to a Word War. First person to return my invitation gets the war. I will tweet my unique word war id number every Wednesdays at 1pm (Arizona time -7:00) and post the results.

I think this is a great way to encourage writing, maybe help some NaNoWriMo buddies keep their word goals and get to compete with fellow writers. I hope that Word-War Wednesdays become a tradition!

And I will keep you posted! As always, thanks for reading!

Comment if you liked it!

What are your tools for keeping on goal with your writing this NaNoWriMo?
