How does a word war work? First you need to find a writing buddy, or someone to war with. Then you sit down together - or at home but both on msn and one of you sets a timer for 5, 10 or 15 mins, or whatever time you agree but make it short this is for instant gratification.

Then you type, as fast and furious as you can and you wipe the floor with your writing buddy…. Umm, you see who’s written the most words. Then let out a small cheer and do it all again.

Do this 4 times for 15 mins each and you’ll beat the daily Nano word count target of 1667 words easily. You can edit it in January, don’t worry.
