Some of our members do not have internet access at their homes so they cant update every day. also, we just got 2-3 more members, so...

bring it...

We will mail you some larabar's if you do win though so you can celebrate though.

'Cause while you're bragging, I'm writing!

I love this, I really do. honestly, salem and olympia are turning into like a built in support system for each other. Its all in good fun, and though we may sneak into each others forums to poke and tease about who is going to eat a big helping of humble pie, ultimatly what we are doing is good natured ribbing to help give each other the drive to make 50k and beyond.

but still.

OLYMPIA IS GOING DOWN!

I've noticed some (so far I count at least three) people don't have their home region set to Salem. Please change this so your word count will count towards the war with Olympia!

jamie jamie you can do it, if you cant, we will be forced to bring brocolli to the tgio party. *cackles evily*

I am I think just shy of tonights qouta. tommarow I got a make a tart. yes, I know the irony, I started nano by killing tarts, and now, I am going to make one towards the end of nano.

I however once I finish this chapter which should put me at or above qouta, will be going through and doing a edit of the first 5 chapters of the second book in my series because I need to package it for a family member. its part of their chirstmas gift. so I am magically stealing my inner editor so I can read through it. so kindly look the otherway.

update your word counts!
update your word counts!

the evil empire to the north,
where winds of indecision
and cars with only three hubcaps roam,
is on the move!

just added about 5k today and feeling really great. nanoing this book in the series has been the best thing ever because it revealed just how many problems there are that need to be fixed in the plot. I will be returning to the final five chapters to be edited and revised for book one likely in the first few weeks of december after I take a break and then I can continue with book 2 which is about halfway through its first draft and continue my third and hopefully final draft of book1 with my mom over the next few months so it will be ready and formatted for the grueling task of finding a agent.

but now I can see the problems and can work to fix them for when I do a serious draft of book three. having written the ending of book three though I am itching to write the beginning of book four, seeing as the two are closely tied to each other, but must resist the urge.

I have but 1000 or so to add at the moment -- I must go dose the cats who need medicine and scoop the cat boxes. Seems like that's all I ever do around Chez les Chats. More to come shortly. I'm close enough to 45,000 I may add more tonight.

And there is nearly 2000 more. That will be my contribution for the evening. We're still only 7000 words behind, so it's anyone's guess at this point who will come out ahead.

We can do this, barely 10k ahead. I'm going to keep writing once I hit the finish line!
