I just wanted to say that I love you guys, my neighbor region to the south.
Of course, love is relative. I mean, I love my sister, but I still want to do better than her in all things.
I'll think of you guys as a cousin. I mean, I want you to have success, but not as much as I have.

For me, that's a good thing. Here I am, looking at you guys and dropping gauntlets everywhere.
Yeah. Nashville Can Write More Than You Can.

You up for the challenge?

(Note - we do an average word per writer count.... )

Love you -
Nashville

(Oh, PS - our Evening of Scribbling Recklessly is on 11/22 and we totally want you to all be there. We promise not to point and laugh when you're losing to us. )

::gasp::

I am shocked and appalled! All this time you were being friendly to me in the forums, you were really just gearing up to wage war on my region! Travesty!

Memphis WriMos, are we going to sit back and take this?

I said ARE WE GONNA TAKE THIS?

NO WE AREN'T.

Are you sure you want some of this, Nashville? Because we are lean, mean writing machines! Melbourne challenged us two years ago, and we destroyed them in our novels! So you better bring it!

Eat our dust Nashville! Just because you start fast doesn't mean your little rabbit feet won't trip you up. Don't forget, steady and consistent always trumps fast and cocky. ;3 Meet you in Nashville! <3

Word War update! The widgets don't seem to be working at the moment, but based on the regional headers we're behind by about 150 words (They have over 130,000 more words than we do, but we're going by average word count.)

Memphis: 2,475 average
Nashville: 2,628 average

I'd call that a good start. :)

Attn Memphians:

Here's the stats now (averages):

Memphis 13384 words per person

Nashville 15160 words per person

We are 1776 words per person behind. I think we can catch up!!!
