Ineke Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 One of the most useful NaNoWriMo writing tools are rat races, in which members can push each other to unlock their true potential through the power of competition! What is a rat race? It's simply a race against time where participating writers do nothing but write for a specified period of time. Often many writers will participate together to add to the fun. How do I start or join a Rat Race on HPFT? Just follow the rules below! When posting a new Rat Race, include the number in the title. EXAMPLE: If the most recent race was "Rat Race #7" post your topic as "Rat Race #8" - this helps us stay organized when things get crazy Also include the start and end times in the title, omitting the hour. EXAMPLE: If you want your race to start at ten (10) after the hour and last for thirty (30) minutes, your title would read ":10 - :40" Whether you are starting a new Rat Race or joining in on the fun, include a starting word count ("SWC") in the body of your post. Don't forget to come back at the end and post your ending word count ("EWC") and the difference (+/-) for all to see! And always remember the most important rule of racing: HAVE FUN! #writingwordsiswinning
