I just checked us and Boulder, and we're currently almost 20,000 words ahead! Woohoo! We will beat them, and their prolific-ness this year! (Guess we'll see if that sticks for the rankings...since those appear to not be up to date yet) |

We were lagging just a bit behind today--anyone who hasn't yet set Colorado Springs as their home region, please do so! We want your words!
I also figured out that we have about 195 writers in COS, and Boulder has about 205, so we have to write that much more to beat them :)
We can do it!

Is there a way for us to see how we're doing against other regions? I am just a bit competitive...

Well, I've added my 2000 to the mix. Hope we can stay ahead of the Birkenstockers from Boulder!

I'm as eager to beat Boulder as anybody, but I've always wondered: does Boulder know we're competing against them?

I was just wondering that myself...I might see if I can locate their lounge and check...if not, I might send their ML a friendly note to let him/her know that we are motivated to beat them :P

Now it's official--we are in a word war with Boulder. They have about 10 more writers than we do, but I'm sure that's not going to stop us from blowing right past them. We were ahead again this morning--let's keep it up!!
Go Springs!!

The Boulder NaNos are rallying--here's what their ML said..
PUMP UP THAT WORD COUNT, PEOPLES! Thanks!
If we all did an extra 1k today above what we would NORMALLY write, we should be able to maintain our lead! So who's with me?

Totally! I fell a bit behind because of work this week, and I intend to make up for it tonight. 5K day, here I come. D

Last I saw, Boulder was ahead of us over all, although 8 words a writer below us. Durn college kids and they're all-nighter super powers!

Oh no! They KNOW we're competing against them? ACK! Now I've got to find a way to soothe my aching wrists and pump out another 2k today...

yeah, I was rather distracted at the write in (that pizza was GOOD!) so I didn't get anywhere near what I expected. But I did manage to break 20K, and I just updated--so maybe that will help. And tomorrow I need to just write--like a 6K day. That would be nice.
Keep at it!! We can do this!!

Well we're a bit behind at the end of the eleventh, but today, since it has past midnight now, I will do my best to bust out a 7k day and help put us above them. Victory for the Springs!

Currently, we're quite far ahead. (That's good, since I'm giving my wrists a break).

I just added 2000, but they're now just barely ahead of us. I'm aiming for 8K this weekend, so maybe that will help....

Looks like Boulder made a huge jump ahead of us with about 100,000 words! But our per writer average is still higher, which tells me we can totally come back in this race! Let's do it!
I just updated my word count to add 3750 words--who's with me?

Just added my 2K for the night, and we're about 80K behind those birkenstock-wearing hippies now! There's still two more weeks to go. I suspect the lead will change several times.

I'm still attempting to crank out 6k a day, so hopefully that will help us out. I wonder how they jumped up so fast... I claim cheating! haha

I just tossed in another 4 K tonight all in only 2.5 hours. That's not bad speed :) I'm still a ways behind, but I'm sure on my long vacation I'll be able to do some catching up. It's the 20 hours straight I'll be spending on the road that's going to eat my writing time. I'll be driving out by myself, so I can't type while someone else drives either.
But, I'll be staying with grandparents. They tend to go to bed early leaving plenty of time to type. I'll try to get to a borders or panera with wifi to update wordcounts to keep sticking it to Boulder at least once a day.

Currently it looks like we have gained back some of the ground we lost this past weekend. Let's keep it up! Boulder will go down if I have anything to say about it, and if my wrists don't get too tired.

I'm glad we've got people pushing themselves to make it past Boulder! It's awesome to be a part of you guys.
I'm trying to make up for lost time. We're currently around 50,000 words being Boulder...anybody want to write a novel tomorrow? I'm going to go for a 10k day tomorrow, instead of my current 7k goal, just to lessen that gap a little bit.
Here's wishing you all pleasant dreams, soothed wrists, and fast fingers. (Or, to misquote Princess Bride: May you dream of [wo]men with large word counts)

We are now 83K words behind BOulder, folks. Something tells me they were holding back until we challenged them.

We've regained a little ground, which is good. Hopefully we can keep regaining ground.
