The Valley's Great Points Race

Everyone loves prizes (some more than others) and prizes can be great incentives adding to the joy and excitement of NaNoWriMo. To keep you encouraged and give you that extra bit of motivation I’ll be are continuing Valley TGIO Prize Giving Extravaganza.

I will update the point standings every Monday in November (if you feel there is an issue with the points or my math please sent me a nanomail).

Happy writing and points earning.

*whimper*

You'll get back in the race with all those word wars that I have no chance of winning :P

That's only because you're kind enough to cripple yourself with a pen. I can't count on everyone to be that considerate.

Holy Crow AmaiRose, you're lapping us with word count already, way to go. I have a lot of writing to do to catch up

There's a fairly significant possibility that I have too much free time...

Whoa. o_O 20K? tha'ts amazing! I just broke 10K on my day off. i got another one tomorrow.

I'm at 10K right now, but i thought i was pushing myself. My respect for you has just gone up tremendously :)

Me? I've attended all the events and have no other November goals... I don't think respect is a common thing, but I will take it. Thanks.
