A word war, of course, with the Greenville, SC region! As of right now we are 11 active members short of their total of 41 - which means we are going to have to write write write come November to beat them. But I'm confident that we can do it!
And to up the stakes? The Greenville ML, Tikatu, and I will be having our own personal ML-to-ML Word War challenge! So if you see my word count falling behind, crack the whip! May the wordiest ML win!

Totally up for it. My best friend came down here from Greenville. :) I'm still pushing for her to do NaNoWriMo. She and I write a story together, so I know she has the talent/determination. She's just leery with her busy life right now.

Um, I just checked and we're ahead of Greenville! I think the 18,001 words from sirius helped, ha.

Well look at you with your 4200! I thought I was doing good by being 600 ahead last night. This evening I'll have you beat, just you wait.

LOL, you just try. I've been typing away for a while now. By the way, Becka dared me at the write-in that you were mysteriously to ill for. I now have to incorporate a circus into my story. That should be interesting, see that neither of my characters would probably go to one, but I will see if I can make it work.
Good luck sicky!

I would have loved to go, I need a dare for my book. And I'm sure you can make a circus work, that could be hella fun.

I am sure Becka can come up with agood one. Currently one of my twins is helping her mother set up a booth at the circus. Since I already made her mom a small time jewelry designer, I thought it would be good for her to try and sell it there. Why not. What happened to Dana? Or should I say Ms. Pansy herself?

Go us! We are currently kicking butt at this! Greenville has more words, but they also have more people, and we have 11k/person average to their 9k/person average. Keep it up you guys! You are awesome!
