I can't believe how much of a roll I'm on this year - I'm shocking even myself! I've been giving myself daily word goals and reaching them! And tomorrow, MY NAME WILL BE #1!
...especially because tomorrow, my little vacation ends and it's back to work. Not nearly as much time to write then!

It doesn't appear either of my competitors are active on the boards. This makes it a little less fun because they're probably not aware of the challenge, but also a bit more tricky because it's hard to know how much either one of them is going to write, since I don't know them at all!

----------I got up at 6am to do some writing, but kept getting distracted by the rest of the internet - still have yet to write anything, and I have class in an hour. Apparently I'm going to have to really get it together at the write-in tonight if I want to keep up with you!

I fell 2 spots in the rankings and I still get to eat a cookie? (Okay, I guess I defeated the person above me, but that seems like cheating.)
... I like this contest!
(Although I don't think it technically counts as "falling" in the rankings when the new #1 and #2 posted daily word counts of 6,500 and 11,697 - that's more like me being flattened by an oncoming train of awesome.)

I'll be more diligent next challenge!
