Today you should be at 10,002 words to be on track to reach 50k by the end of the month.

Today's dare/challenge: as a salute to another one of our ML's (c'est moi) use the word "jazz" in your writing today.

Today's prompt: "God has nothing to do with this"

Today's what if...scenario: "What if... one of your character's often mumbles to him/herself." Why? What is said? Who overhears? What happens?

Use your imagination and share your use of today's dares/prompt/creative scenario here for bonus points. Check back for tomorrows suggestions.

And may the Muse be with you!!!

Here's the daily Denver Update from Captain Kinsi!

Nov.5th:

Wrimos in United States :: Georgia :: Atlanta

* There are 736 Wrimos in this region (active and homed) - 44% are new to NaNoWriMo
* 4.76% of Wrimos in this region have donated 820.00 so far (thank you!)
* Wrimos in this region have written 2,991,911 words (5,983 per Wrimo with wordcount)

Wrimos in United States :: Colorado :: Denver

* There are 715 Wrimos in this region (active and homed) - 46% are new to NaNoWriMo

They are almost 100k up. I hereby vow to do an extra 1k beyond what I was going to do to help bridge gap.

Now, if you want to see in its graphical form, the word count widget things are working. Click the regional info tab and you'll see it on the right.

/me shakes fist at Denver.

May not make the Decatur one as I may have to work late, but we'll see about 10-12. 12-3:30 is probably right out because I have class tomorrow at 10:15 (blech!)

----------

Goal: 200k 260k. My wordcount was going to be an average, but we need to beat the pants off Denver, right?

I haven't gotten to the quote yet, but here's a little jazz for you.

Quote:
Jack,
I think you are sorely mistaken if you think that your topic is anywhere near as amazing as mine. I don't want to jinx anything by saying this, but mine is good enough to win nationals, internationals, galacticals, and all that jazz. You have been warned.
