A sprint is a focused block of writing time shared with other writers.
Someone starts a timer, everyone writes quietly for a set amount of time, and then the group checks back in afterwards. That’s it. No pressure. No competition. Just dedicated time to work on your project alongside other people doing the same.
Sprints are great for:
Most sprints run for 20–30 minutes.
Word counts are optional, and nobody expects constant productivity. Some days you’ll write 2,000 words. Some days you’ll delete 2,000 words. Both count.
The goal is consistency, focus, and helping each other make progress.
A surprising amount of writing gets done simply because other people are quietly writing too.
Our Discord sprint bot makes it easy to run and join sprints.
/sprint 30 in 5
Starts a 30-minute sprint after a 5-minute countdown.
You can adjust both numbers however you like. For example:
/sprint 20 in 2
Only one sprint can run in a channel at a time.
/join 5000
Joins the sprint with your current word count.
When the sprint ends, the bot will ask for your updated total and calculate how many words you wrote during the session.
/same
Uses your previous word count automatically, which is handy during back-to-back sprints.
/words 5400
Use this when the sprint ends to submit your final total.
The bot will generate a small leaderboard showing everyone’s progress during the sprint.
