Word Wars, according to Wikipedia, are "friendly competitions where participants write as many words as possible within a short specified period of time, usually from five to twenty minutes."

In case you're not familiar with this popular block buster, check out these NaNoWriMo forum links:

"They are really helpful when there isn't anybody around to word war with."

So what about it, Nano Writer? Does a little competition get your word on? To inspire us all, post your best score! Do you plan to challenge your fellow writers again this year?
