I'm aiming to write 1,667 words just after midnight, before I go to bed. And then to write another 1,667 words in the daytime on Nov. 1. By the time I crash in the evening on Nov 1, therefore, I want my word count to be 3,334!

Anyone care to join me in ...

5:43 a.m. and I still haven't written anything. I guess I should start now, shouldn't I, since I'm awake?

Congrats to those who made a start last night. Yay! Remember everyone: All Words Are Good!

So it turns out that 3334 is a lot of words. I'm a little concerned about whether or not I make it to 1667, nevermind doubling up.

Yes, it truly is. However, just keep writing, SilkenSky. See how far you can get on Day One. A nice cushion of extra words is a GREAT feeling!

Looks like I should make it through 1,667 pretty easily. Writing a dream sequence right now.
