I really enjoyed going back over the word wars. There is a unique creative synergy produced by a group sharing each one’s experience of writing under the pressures of time, and all the emotions that drive one to write something that lives within. Even if it had been hiding in some dark corner of one’s memory for years. I was pulled in by this synergy even though I came in on the end of the venture. Still it had it’s affect. On an impulse to experience the affect of that creative synergy first hand, I entered a “Short Story Contest” at the local U. Three hours to write a short story, given a word at the start which must play an important role in the story. The word was “Starfish”. The first seven minutes, I sat blank, as the clickety clack of the keyboard tracts hummed about me. Then my fingers began to cry out to my brain and away I went. Three hours later, and a little over 2,000 words I now knew what it was that generates your word wars. Keep up the entertaining group. Troy Three cheers for nanowrimo’s.
