okay, I know I'm a 4 year veteran, but where the heck are you guys finding this info? I look at the stats tab and only get my own word count and a graph on my progress!

Go to Fun Stuff on the top nav bar, then under Word Count Scoreboard.
FYI, Fort Collins is 2 places ahead of us. We should run them down. I mean, get ahead of them.

You know what else? If you go by avrage word count (as opposed to total) we're behind Greeley. GREELEY! Let's try to remedy that, guys. Come on. Their total population is lower than my word count.

HEY! I heard that! ; 0-P
Snuck over here to see if there were any write-ins I might be able to insinuate myself into around Turkey Day, when I'm down visiting family in the Springs, but it occurs to me now that if I did a write-in elsewhere (*gasp* disloyal) I might have to "give up" those words to the hosting region. Ohnoes. X 0-D It's looking like there's nothing I have even a remote chance of making, though, and, tempted as I am to try and start a write-in of my own, I'm not sure the family would take too kindly to it anyway. Sigh. Such is the life of a writer.
Some other year, though, maybe I'll be able to meet all the Springs NaNoers. ...Most likely after I've graduated and escaped south again, heh heh. (Nothing against Fort Collins, I just think my Black Forest home pwns it.)
I gotta agree though... you CAN'T let Greeley beat you, in any way, shape, or form. Eesh. X 0-)

For the record.. Greeley's ahead of Collins too, in that count. ;)

good gosh, May, if we could get five more like you and Samil and Goerge, we'd be trouncing New York! Here I was feeling pretty good about my word count and you have double that! Way to go! ANd I still think we can catch Ft. Collins!

Wow compared to you guys i'm a total slacker! But I have no school all this week so hopefully i can CATCH UP!! =D

HEY!!!!!! Ft. Collins is 87 now, and unless I mis-looked, they are really only a few hundred words ahead of us! I'm gonna be typing my fingers off after I get back from the grocery store. Come on, you guys! We almost have them!

I think I just passed them. It doesn't display, but it says they're about 400 words ahead, and I just added 2K.

Good for you, May, I did too, so if they're not typing away, too, we may just have 'em beat.

Good for you, too.
----------Here's to hoping. I'm typing up everything that I've written by hand this month, and haven't gotten around to typing yet, so I'm going fast. Someone drop a lot of itching powder over Collins so they can't type, please?

You know what's sad? We're all so obsessed with beating Ft. C, right? Well, I just popped my head over into their forums (not that I was spying, or anything) and they're all obsessed with Greeley. GREELEY! I mean, seriously, half their threads are "Greeley Sucks # 1, 2 or 3." It's insane. Perhaps we should turn our attention to Boulder. Or Denver, even. We could totally take them.

Considering that the list is 350 long- I think we are doing pretty darn well. BUT a little FRIENDLY competition is welcome. Now I wish I had pushed to 2K today. But this weekend I will push aheady and maybe we can overtake FC!! And then Boulder and then Denver!!
And come on, the state of Alaska is beating us- we can totally take on the state of Alaska!!!!

I've got a writing buddy from Alaska who's got 180,000 words or so under her belt. Let's just hope they're not all like that. And thanks for reminding us to be friendly. hehe. I'm not so good at that. :)

watch out, Montana, we're after you, now.

Well, I just added 2,500 for the day, that should help a tad :)
Yes, let's pass up Montana!! Nothing against them except that we want to catch up to Boulder and they are next on the way! Hopefully all of our writers who are behind will have very productive weekends and will update wc's soon!
Montana, then Alaska and then Boulder!!! Let's keep going!

i just added 3k and im still writing =]
Yea watch out Montana were comin for ya! I dunno if we'll be able to catch Denver this year though...they're already up to 4 mil+ words!

Nov 22, 2007 - 23 19
well...Denver's got about 400 more wrimos than us...I think that's a good enough excuse to not be able to catch up to them.
Anyways, managed another 2k, hopefully that'll help. My novel is sooooo slow right now....of course, this entire novel is pretty slow. Hopefully I'll get to the part where they all start dying soon. The chapter titles are long though, so that's a few extra words :)
