RULES
. Word wars always begin Monday mornings and end Sunday evenings unless otherwise stated. Only count what you wrote during this time. (Timezones in EST.)
. If you write on paper or otherwise lack a word count feature, you must either count each word or calculate the average words-per-page from a three-page sample, multiply that by the number of pages, and then multiply that by 80% so you don't over calculate.
. Only creative writing counts including fiction and poetry. You must write an original scene. Outlining does not count.
. You can contribute to the word war somewhat even if you're editing. To do this, write down the word count of a scene before you edit it, then after you edit it. Subtract the initial word count from the final word count. If the solution is positive, you can submit that toward you word count.
. The individual who writes the most wins. Also, the word war group that writes the most collectively wins as a group.
