731 total word count for today. A definite win, seeing as this was the first time I worked on my novel in months! Thanks for the encouragement. #TWSSprints #amwriting #writingsprints #writingcommunity

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

First sprint was spent getting reoriented. Second sprint I churned out 416 words. Painful! But a good and necessary first step. ✍️ #TWSSprints #amwriting #writerslife #writingcommunity

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.

The Writer's Studio at SFU @twssfu.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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

What is a writing sprint? It's a focused block of time where you free write and just work at putting down a maximum # of words or whatever you feel comfortable writing without going back to edit at this stage. #TWSsprints

A7 Letter writing is delving into self, emotions & depth while texting has an urgency of don't leave me hanging—an increased vulnerability for a response & acceptance even over substance, or just a difference between succinct & sharp versus discovery, regret, remorse, reaching out... #TWSOchat

A2 A sense of care and revision, a slower time, a revelation, often without facing reality or real physical constraints like distance and circumstances. Texts are in the real world and vulnerable to public sharing. Letters are a conversation with the inner self as much as the recipient. #TWSOchat

Q9. What about the voyeuristic habit of reading other people's letters, why does it fascinate us so much. Is that part of what makes epistolary writing so intriguing at times to read? #TWSOchat

Me too and my characters and I are more idealistic in letters in general for better or worse. I was so hopeful in my young twenties in midnight letters I'm often thankful I didn't send lol. There's a freedom & loneliness all in one when all our other responsibilities have melted away. #TWSOchat
