We can always word war on here. FWS maybe? But it doesn't have to be FWS

It doesn't *have* to be AIM. It's just easier to keep track of word scores if it's over some sort of IM program like AIM or Skype.
ETA-I know I'm possibly one of the last people on here to know what it is, but what's FWS? |

I should keep track of a description that I copy/paste every time someone asks lol.
FWS = Fun Writing Session We set a time frame to write. Then we come back here to post how many words we wrote and up to five sentences of your favorite part of what you just wrote. |

What? Really, Glo? That makes no sense at all...
And how about we start FWS at :15 and go to :45 or all the way to :00? |

I had to stop because I remembered I was supposed to be doing hw tonight. Meep.
I got 400ish words in 30 minutes. I ended up copy/pasting something in, and I didn't keep track of the specifics. This is my fave part: Quote:

I only got 287 because I only wrote for the last 5 minutes. None of the lines really stand out to me as ones that I like.
![]() Anybody up for going again? |

821, woot woot. So much of it is interior monologue, though.

Fave part. Quote:

Okay, I'm adding to the description that we'll rep our comments. I realized that it's different than YAWN because our snips are shorter, so it's easier to rep everyone, which was the point of FWS - reading short snips.

It's a good thing I rep by reflex!
