#TWSsprints 259 new words, which is certainly more than I had before! Plus now I have three scenes that actually have a beginning and end. (My understanding is that this tends to be better?)

Awesome start to the day! Thanks for the inspiration!

Writers! Give @TWSSFU a follow & enter into your 2026 calendars the upcoming #TWSsprints and #TWSOchat sessions. Twitter Sessions: 2nd Sunday of each month -- TWS Twitter Chats #TWSOchat 4th Sunday of each month -- TWS Writing Sprints #TWSsprints

Thanks all for joining us today for #TWSsprints! Keep writing now that you are all warmed up & use this exercise on your own too! Enjoy the rest of your day and we'll see you for the next sprints on the fourth Sunday of the month #amwriting #writers #writing

What's your final word count for the whole exercise or your last sprint? Let us know and keep track of it for next month's #TWSsprints #amwriting #writingsprints

STOP! #TWSsprints Great work #writers, if you've gone this far you've done your warm up for the day. Keep going if you can, because sometimes good writing can appear after a sprint warm up! #amwriting

Time to start the final sprint, keep going! #TWSsprints, write for another 15mins. #amwriting Free yourself from the writing process, just write whatever comes out down. You will go back later and revise, just keep writing! #words #writers #writing #writingsprints

STOP, and take a break for 5mins! #TWSsprints Breathe out, grab some snacks or more tea/coffee for the next sprint. #amwriting #writerslife

And START Writing again, part two of three sections for the sprint. #TWSsprints #writing #amwriting #writingexercises #writers #writingsprints

110 new words, but I also moved two scenes around and removed a few paragraphs. I am not someone who can write without editing at the same time, but at least I'm keeping my continuity straight. #TWSsprints

I'm at 262 words for the first sprint, a little slow but moving along. #TWSsprints ^ct

How is everyone doing that is following along online? I'm in the drafting stage for some new work, so mostly freewriting a new concept/idea that I hope to turn into something longer. #TWSsprints #writing

This morning, I'm finishing one of many argument scenes in this YA novel. Teenagers are a lot. #TWSsprints

You can use #TWSsprints to freewrite and try out new ideas or styles of writing. Use as much of what you create in these sessions as you'd like. Sometimes it might just be a word, phrase or idea in these generative sessions that you can use in your writing.

It's 10:30am START Writing. #TWSsprints #writing #amwriting #writingexercises #writers #writingsprints

Get ready by opening up a fresh page. Or if you prefer, get your pencil and paper ready! Time editing and proofing can also be part of your time spent in sprints. You can paste this later into your manuscript. #TWSsprints

Looking for a morning #writingsprints group today? The Writer's Studio at Simon Fraser University are starting our sprint sessions in a few minutes at 10:30am PT. They are open to all writers worldwide and we'd love for you to join us! #writing #writers #writerslift #TWSsprints

We are starting the #TWSsprints in 2 mins at 10:30am (PT). Start typing, handwriting, dictating for 15 mins straight. At 10:45am we break for 5 mins. Then repeat the same pattern two more times. Get your writing off to a good start for the day!

Writers write along with us in short sprints of writing. Use #TWSsprints in 15 min intervals with 5 min breaks for 1 hour. Tweet your word count, if you'd like to!

You can join in at any time we do 3 x 15 min sprints, so feel free to jump in on any one of them! #TWSsprints #amwriting #writers #WritingCommunity

#Poets we hope you'll join us too. Let us know if you have any variations to your version of #TWSsprints! #amwriting 3 mins and counting

Open up a new word/google doc/paper page or whatever writing platform you are using, so you can have an accurate word count to get started. You can always copy this into your manuscript later! #TWSsprints #amwriting

Would anyone like to share what they might be writing about today for #TWSsprints or will it be a stream of consciousness? #amwriting #sprints
