Ok, this is where we get to cheer each other on, heckle (politely) the opposition and exchange tips on word generation.

Okay folks, eight names on our list so far - last chance to be added if you're gonna get a stupendous wordcount and want to help Wales win!
We can view the scoreboard here: http://www.annelyle.com/projects/scoreboard.html
----------- but Wales won't be on it until tomorrow, as I've only just added us to their database.

Murphy's Law strikes! Have a quick look at the Week 2 Panic Button thread - see if that gives you any inspiration. Failing that - add a love interest for one of your characters :-0

Right that's it. Cue crazy dream sequence involving a jar of dirt! :-)
And my MC's have love interests. One minor character decided to come out this morning, but he's going to die later on.

I was up typing furiously at 6.00 this morning.
Couldn't sleep after 5am, , there were too many plot lines whizzing in my head, and I was thinking about my eldest daughter's wedding, which is two weeks today. Gulp.
I don't think I will be able to get away with typing on my webbook at the Reception somehow, even if dear daughter is a fanatical fanfic writer herself........LOL.
I think once NaNo is safely over, I am going to designate December as Snakebelly's Official Sleeping Month..........

Scamel - well spotted! Yes, Friday was my biggest day yet (this month). Busy today with the meet-up and even a bit of socialising! So I thought I'd better get ahead of the game.
Snakebelly - you have my permission to hibernate for December - I'm hoping to do the same. ;-0
