Ok Philly.
Pittifulsburg and PA Nowhere have accepted our challenge (you like that? trash talking is my new middle name). So Philly, let's show them how it's done. Bring on the wordage. Our counts must be high (pollen count smollen count), our sentences can run on and on and on and..., our characters must embody the linguistic voltage of a really, really stereotypical teenage girl who is having three conversations out loud, another three via text, twitter, and facebook, all the while doodling (like, that could so like be true... four conversations is like the bare minimum {eye roll}).

Hoping to push out as much as I can tonight while my roomie isn't around to get on my ass about homework I'm neglecting. Let's see how well this goes.

Up all night? Heavens no! I'm an old man (50) who needs his sleep! HA! I did write all Sunday morning which helped get me off to a fast start, and I've been rolling ever since. In fact, I cracked the 10,000 word barrier Wednesday night, the fourth day of the event. Even I'm impressed with how well I've done so far!
----------I write, therefore, I have fun! ^_^

Apparently I was a member of two different regions but had no home region set. I swear this site has so many web nooks and crannies and tabs...
Anyways, I'm an official member of the Philly home region now so that should help. :P
