#number generator

To start you off, generate a number between 1 and 20. That is the number of minutes you’ll have to sprint. How many times? We’ll see.

If your number was between 1 and 5 , generate a number between 1 and 50. If it’s between 5 and 15 , generate a number between 1 and 25. If it’s between 15 and 20 , I’ll be nice. Ish. Generate a number between 1 and 10.

Next up, go to the Writing Challenges forum. Look at the bars at the top and see how many threads there are in this category. (it will say, for example, writing challenges x75). Generate a number between 1 and that amount. You may reroll indefinitely if you keep hitting (long) crawls! (Considering the amount of counting in this step is absolute baloney - you may also scroll around the list for a while and randomly stop somewhere.)

Then, generate a number between 1 and 50. Do that many 100 word sprints.

Next, generate a number between 1 and 30. That is your number of 1 minute sprints . Then, generate a number between 1 and whatever wpm you’re comfortable with (NOT your top speed unless you want to have a really hard time!) . The number you land on is your goal for the sprints. If you fail to get to it, keep trying! Keep going until you have your number of sprints at or over your goal.

Next, generate a number between 5 and 60. Attempt to write 1000 words in that number of minutes. If you fail, retry three times before moving on.

Generate a number between 1 and 5 . Write that many thousand words.

Generate a number between 1 and 1000 and attempt to write that much in under 20 minutes. If you fail, finish at your own pace.

As a last step, Generate a number between 1 and 10,000. Write that many words in however long it takes you!

=========================================================

BONUS ROUND! (Do any or all of these as you wish!)

Write 100 words. Then, roll a 6-sided die (or generate a number between 1 and 6). If it’s a 6, move on to the next step. If it’s not a 6, write 200 words. Then roll again. continue using the same rules (keep adding 100 words on top of the goal) until you either roll a 6, or have to write 3000 words because the random number generator or die is just that rude to you. (it made me go up to 2400 once >_>)

Generate a number between 1 and 100. Do that many song sprints.

Bonus suggestion by Mr E, inc: Looking for MORE or a challenge? How about a time limit?

Choose the number of days you think you could probably complete this crawl in. Generate a number between 1 and that number . This is the number of days you have to complete the crawl to GOLD STAR. If the crawl is not done in that many days, you get a SILVER STAR.

Gold star: Awesome! Post a message in the thread so we can all congratulate you!
