Oh sorry to hear about that but completely understandable. I hope you take care of yourself ^ct #TWSsprints
That's great, outlining is super useful and usually a slower process than sprinting. As long as some words are being put down on the page on Sunday morning, it's a good thing! #TWSsprints
Yes, see you soon and great to hear the news on the next manuscript! ^ct #TWSsprints
Hi Angie, Yes! I just posted about it. The next in person session takes place at Waves Coffee House on Sunday, April 26th at 10:30am PT. It would be great to have you out saying hi! ^ct #TWSsprints
Great to see you back! Next month we'll be doing an in person session at Waves, on Sunday, April 26th at 10:30am PT. Maybe you and Glenn can join us? #TWSsprints We have a nice little group and want more to participate as well. ^ct
The next #TWSsprints session will take place in person at Waves Coffee House on Sunday, Apr. 26 at 10:30am PT. Come and sprint your little hearts out with Laura and Candie + other #TWS and writing community members. All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you there. So, save the date!
Thanks Jessica, yes all is good with me and my writing, just keeping on keeping on. How are you doing with yours? We hope to see you again at the next in person #TWSsprints next month on April 26th! I'll post about it today and let everyone know. ^ct

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
I like your Baldwin quote. His story 'Going to See the Man' truly rattled me.

That's great to hear, I love them for idea generation too and sitting still for a bit. Also, a nice way to start off a Sunday morning with creative thoughts with a group of #TWS and farther afield community. Thanks for being here :) ^ct #TWSsprints
I loved her book 'The World Before Us'.
You are so lucky to work with her.

These sprints can be a great time for generative work. Just laid the bones of a poem that had been ruminating for a week and now transcribing another roughly sketched out on Friday. #TWSsprints
It's going well, working on a bit of revisioning for a longer novel and then doing some idea generation. Thanks for asking. I'll be heading out for a walk soon too, which helps creatively! ^ct #TWSsprints
Truly, today is quite lovely. How's your writing going? #TWSsprints
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
Excellent, Sunday mornings seem to be great for working out issues in text! Excited to hear that it's moving along nicely ^ct #TWSsprints

Got my 3rd cup (Sundays only) and ready to join the next #TWSsprints
This morning I am working hard on my crime/horror ms that I am workshopping in the TWS Grad Workshop with Aislinn Hunter. Only 194 words this round but figured out a structural element so yahoo! #TWSsprints #amwriting
And START Writing again, part two of three sections for the sprint. #TWSsprints #writing #amwriting #writingexercises #writers #writingsprints

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
