What is sprinting?
It is when you go for a predetermined amount of time getting the most words down you can in that time. 15 minutes or 30 minutes, it doesn't matter. What matters is just getting the words done. Because of these sprints which I have continued this month, I have now finished my skeleton draft of DreamTamer. Yeeha!
Sprinting works because I have a start and end time and because on the whole I meet up with other writers in a chat room, we report in at the end of the sprint, and we can cheer each other on. It's fabulous. And works well with my CFS. So if I can sprint a few times a week, I will be a happy lassy. Sprints so far this week: 2 *grin*

Eleni,
So, can you sprint whenever? Not just in a writing month? I went into the sprint room a bit during the challenge and struck it lucky a couple of times, but on some nights no one turned up but me. I suppose you have to pre-arrange to meet.

Hey Shayne,
Yes, I'll be sprinting more often from now on & not just in June and November. I too went to the sprint room just a few times in June. Though I did sprint with the 101ers in the last week or so of last month. But it all helped. I even did a couple of sprints on my own.
