We can do it! We've got just under 23h left to get some more words in. For those who are still heading towards 50 000, keep going! You can do miracles in 22hrs, bribe your muse and lock yourself in a closet (or wherever you choose to write), hunker down and know that you can do it!
For those who have passed the 50k mark, congratulations and welcome to the purple bar club!
We were, as of the last time the stats page was updated, ahead of Naperville by a small margin. Something that they have proven they can close. Since I know none of us want to have to sing there song, and we don't want to add another win to the two they already have out of Canada, add a few more words. It doesn't matter if it's 50 or 5000, but pad that wordcount. You know you have some scene that's just screaming for a food fight (got to get the fuzzy peach pie in somewhere, right?) or have a character run off on a monologue. Add that extra scene that doesn't really fit, but you want to write it anyways.
Every little bit helps now that we're down to crunch time!
Are you with me?

YAY! Done - added another 3K to the story (which I'm pretty sure I'm just going to take out in December, but... ah well). ;)

Hey, it doesn't state that you have to keep everything you write in November, in the book by for December...

I added about 8K of rambling that is vaguely related to the story. I really don't want to sing that song or any song. Believe me, I am saving everyone from my singing. So, please, please, if you value your hearing, add more words or you'll have to listen to my braying.

I don't know yet what my final count will be but damn it I woke up this morning with Margaritaville stuck in my head. DO NOT let this be a sign. Write, write like the wind, I don't wanna sing. (Plus my Mom, the parrothead, might not like me singing a bastardization of her singer man's song).

I refuse to sing a song. I am not at 71,000 and my mind is dead. I can no longer write.
I agree with the stop surfing and keep writing.

I just added 4K or so of absolute hooey.
Blech.
I need coffee and chocolate now.
