What is a “writing sprint” or “word sprint”? It’s when great minds come together and try to write as many words as they can in scheduled amount of time — typically 30 or 45 minute sessions. Then everyone pauses for a quick break…before diving right back into another sprint!
Think of it as the interval training of book creation. 😏
Because we want YOU to benefit from the productivity of a writing sprint, we’ve set up our own Mighty Pens sprints! You can join in by following #themightypens on Twitter!
Here’s the current schedule:
