starting on the :00, anybody?

Me, me! I really need to start my project, and until now I've only written one sentence, so a word war should be great help.

Im in I got distracted for the :45 and didn't go.

*edit*
I have a question, why does it say 'posted on Oct. 31st 23:57' down there on the time posted spot. Time changes in the US don't happen until two am, which gives us an extra hour to write.

Only 601 from the :30. I think that's my signal that it's finally time to go to bed -- after I update my word count, of course! =)

1,028 words for :45. I kept getting distracted XD So, I'm probably going to write a little bit more and head off to bed. Have fun to anyone who's still nanoing. (:

:20 to :50 - 1473 words!

I am frankly astonished. These are levels of word counts I reached at the end of last year's NaNo, and it's only November 1st! :O
