Ok - this is the first thread for people to mark reaching a milestone in their wordcount. I'm in danger of hitting the 25K mark today - with good luck, a following wind and lots more rain keeping me indoors!
Please post on here when you've hit 25,000 after you've done your little happy dance!
^_^

I did think about it, but wondered if I might jinx myself into having a total writer's block the minute I sign up........if you think I might be an asset to the team, I will be happy to have a go..........

Go for it! I think you'll be an asset - and being in the team might inspire you to ever greater wordcounts. :-D

Ahh, just reached it today! I've had a horrible second week - barely 1000 a day for the past five days - but having the halfway mark to aim for really helped today!
Well done to everyone else passing 25K, and good luck to all those getting there!
