Question

[age.livejournal.com]

Now that we're into October, would anyone be interested in my re-doing one of the warm-up exercises from last year?

I was thinking every couple of days or so I could pull a set of popsicle sticks and post their contents? (I'd repost how the game works, as well, for the folks that have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about.)

I'd be interested!

Reposting how the game works would be good since I don't remember it from last year, but I would definitely appreciate some occasional prompts and exercises to do!

If it is what I think it is then I'd be interested. :)

Ummm, sure? I'm doing a warm-up now, but more is always better in such a case.

"Doing a warm-up" as in "doing a warm-up for nanowrimo to do" or as in "doing a warm-up just for myself?"

Because if it's a comm-wide thing, we can co-ordinate? I'm only going to be posting every 3rd day or so, which leave plenty of time for other warm-up stuffs :)

Just myself. I have a bunch of fic commissions to finish before November, so I'm trying to use those to work up to the NaNo daily goal (mine will be about 2 000 words per day because I have to go home every other weekend and will be losing 3-4 days). Not doing too bad just now; I got just over a thousand yesterday.

Awesomesauce! I wish you the best of luck! My exercise will possibly aid you if you're stumped with what to write next. Goodness knows I've used'em for my own fic!

Yay!

I'm one of the persons who has no idea what you're talking about but it sounds interesting XD

What kind of warm-ups are we talking?

It's hard to explain. I give you a couple of prompt-like thingies and you make something out of them. I'm in the middle of typing it all up and will link you once I'm done :D

Popsicle sticks... I'd like an orange one?

You lost me though, what's the challenge about? That would be helpful.

As I noted above, it's tough to explain. I give you prompt-like thingies and you use them to write something. They actually come on popsicle sticks, hence the name.

So you'd just post writing prompts and we'd reply to them? Yeah I think most people would be totally cool with that, as long as the mod was cool with you doing it, I'd be up for it.

[age.livejournal.com]

It's a little more involved than my just giving you prompts, but like I said, it's hard to explain without actually tossing up a post with an actual exercise (which I'm in the process of doing, since I'm sure Ali wouldn't mind too much).

Stay tuned!

Sign me up. I like writing, which is great for doing NaNo. So any excuse I can get to get my fingers typing is good by me. I'd need to be told what the rules are but as you said you're working on that. In sum: I'd be game.

Yes! I loved it when you did this last year. Thank you!!

I had so much fun with the one you put up. Please put up more.
