Team Blue Badgers, this is your thread and your thread only. This is where you post your word counts, your inspirations and things to spur each other on.

Teams are welcome to read each others' threads, but if other teams are caught posting in other threads there will be a deduction of 1000 words on that person's total - or the team average. Depends on how we feel ;)

I'm writing, I'm writing!

I promise 8,000 by my bedtime tonight! After I finish this silly exercise class I forced to do by some Non-NaNoers. (I can't believe they exist!) Don't they know better than to prohibit my creativity with an hour of exercise?! That's probably at least a 1,000 words wasted!

Keep writing team!

Go team! I'm hoping to reach 6k by bedtime. Should probably stop browsing the forums : \

It feels like my wordcount is moving really slowly for some reason. Well, it is considering some people are already on 20k. They really don't help get my morale up v___v

I agree with Amanda, I remember faces and real names but when I see usernames I think to myself, Who the Hell is that????

So yeah, I'm Kayla...

I'm only on 3500, and today im feeling very lethargic today so I doubt I'll reach my minimum word count today, but I'll work harder tomorrow to make it up...

TEAM BLUE BADGERS!!!!

So who's going to be at the write in???

I think my name's pretty self-explanatory XD

And I can't make it to this write-in because I have horse riding. Definitely trying to get to the next one though.

Hi :(
As you can see, my word count is so looooow... Studying for exams is totally taking up all of my time at the moment, my first one is next week... I've got a study group I tutor coming tomorrow so I doubt I'll get much done tomorrow either, therefore I charge you all with making me write lots and lots on sunday, to get me back up to par

4112... :(
Kayla

UPDATE: Just been over on Bitter, Bitter Irony's thread, and we have been gravely insulted by Denise!!! She wrote, and I quote, "Rest assured, I will write like a non-blue badger"

So, my blue badger team mates, THIS MEANS WAR!!!

So, forget 'winning' or 'losing', our new goal is simply to beat Bitter, Bitter Irony!! We may end up 3rd on the rankings, but as long as Bitter Bitter Irony is below us, we will be victorious!!!

... ...

*awkward cough* So that was my attempt at a motivational speech... Anyone who thinks they can do better probably can, but come on, post them!!!

*lets out the war cry*

I'm so behind, thanks to the major that I FINALLY finished today (only two majors and an exam left!) but I am determined to write just to get ahead of BBI. You can count on me. :)

And I'll be at Sunday's write-in too.

I'm falling behind. I'm staying hopeful though. I just have a lot of dancing and homework at the moment. I'll be free from next Friday onwards and I'll hopefully have this Wednesday off so I can catch up.

To war, Badgers!

My word count is pitiful.

I nominate tomorrow to be " stay home (without the tv on or Internet plugged in) and write like mad!"

I really need to!

GO TEAM!

ALSO we need to have a blue badger write in I think....
What does everyone else think???

BADGERS! *lets out war cry*

When you have to commute on the train for 2 hours a day, you tend to get more writing done. Even though there are episodes of Torchwood on your ipod you want to watch, and people you'd like to stare at since they are damn strange - you write! And by "you", I mean "I". Whenever I feel myself wander mentally, I just think of the team, man! Woo!

And interesting idea RE: Badgers Write In...
