LOL I just came in to post this: Hello all! I know, it's been quiet around here this week--I was in catch-up mode after the convention. :) BUT let's get together at the Bean Bank again tomorrow and share some coffee, congratulations, or commiserations, as the case may be. Bean Bank Cafe, Charlotte Street, Sydney, 1:30 Then Monday night, 8 p.m., let's do an online chat/write-in. The chat room is here: http://www.sherrydramsey.com/?page_id=4 Just scroll to the bottom(ish) of the page until you see a button bearing a cup of coffee. Give it a click, and follow the instructions (you don't have to enter anything for a profile if you don't wish to). It's a java-run chat applet, so there's nothing to download or install. The chat window opens separately, so you may have to allow pop-ups for the site. Come by and chat, and we'll have some word wars if anyone is up for it. You can test this setup on your computer anytime (although there'll probably be no-one else in the room). Hope your novels are going well and that we'll see you at one of these events!

I hit a roadblock in my story, but have it figured out now. It would be really nice if life could slow down for November.... but it hasn't. Anyway, I won't be "winning" this year but I am keeping up with the idea and hope to finish this year.

In fact, sometimes it seems to get worse than ever! Glad you hear you are going to keep going with it! I will get to 50k I think, but not to "The End" so I hope to keep writing into December, too. I say that every year, but this year I might actually do it. :) And my apologies to everyone, between the snow day and the kids having a long weekend due to parent-teacher stuff, I wasn't even thinking that today was Sunday and we should be getting together at the Bean Bank! But we will be having at least one more event, and everyone will be welcome whether they "win" or not, so stay tuned!
