We had this last year, and it was extremely useful by TGIO time, so let's do this again. :D
Here's how this works. One of the USA MLs set this tool up so whoever posts in this thread will automatically get added to this graph that displays all of our progress for November. It's not a complete picture of the region, but it's good enough to be able to see who's lagging behind and who's shooting up up and up. :D
So everyone who posts here will be added to the graph automatically. Just one post, and it's enough :D To make this thread a bit fun, let's include one line of our novel in our post :)
Okiedokie? Let me know if you have any questions. :D
* graphic image will be added in this space shortly, as soon as it shows up. :)
Aaand here's the graph!
* This image gets updated from time to time as people post here or if you update your word count. :D

AAAAND here's my reply, and a line from my novel:
“I was summoned early,” Ryan said with an exaggerated yawn. “I swear, how can you go to work at this time of day? I’m still deep in dreamland at this time on a normal day!”

lines from novel pala!
Lysandra watched closely, wondering how such a dance could be learned. The hips seemed to have a life of their own, and they made the woman's skirt swirl dazzlingly, as though she were wearing skirts made of the thickest blood. The figures the hips traced seemed to take the form of circles, or numbers, or curves that Lysandra could give no name to. And when the woman stood in place, and fluttered the muscles of her belly, Lysandra could not help watching how the sinews rippled, as though there were little fingers in every part of the woman's body, controlling each movement with precision.

It begins with a vision, an uninvited thought, followed by a union of discordant words, a celebration of inconsistencies, a feast of irrational whims, and finally--a STORY.

Add me too broskis, also, have a line from what I have so far.
"There’s a certain level of fear that you get when he’s looking at you like that. You try not to notice; you try to down your Swamp Rum, and slowly it dawns on you that the whole pub is silent. And he’s just there, right next to you, looking at you with the loathing of generations past and the abandoned hope of generations to come. And in that short moment, you see your life flashing before you. You see your triumphs, your defeats… you see everything that has ever happened. In that short moment, you see the world. And you can’t help but pray that nothing happens to you."

“Like rainbows.”
“Exactly. And fake fur and glitter. Everything is gay in its own way.”

"When you were a kid, you used to like Japanese cartoons. You made sure you were done with your homework before 5 o'clock because 5 o'clock meant Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball Z meant Vegeta. And you had an unhealthy crush on Vegeta (something you will never admit to, until now, even at gunpoint). But then when Vegeta was killed by some alien with a name reminiscent of a refrigerator, you boycotted the show, only to find out years later (and with much self-hatred) that Vegeta was resurrected by the Dragon Balls and you had quit watching for no reason at all.
