OK, Since New Zealand is ahead of us, the SoCNoC challenge has already finished for them and so we need to go into the Challenge archives to click on the link.
You CAN STILL UPDATE YOUR WORD COUNT, until it hits midnight in your area IF you entered what time zone you are in, on your settings pages.

My idea of hell is being trapped in a room with no books!

Yeah, I'll keep updating too, here in Washington, even though life is keeping me from writing much more than what I've got now! It's a good thing I got to 50k earlier today! lol

You can do it, mousewords! There's still hours left until midnight here!

Never give up, never surrender!

"Never give up, never surrender!"

I LOVE that! :-D

Thanks to everyone for their wonderful support--I made it, and I fell in love with my story all over again in the process! :-)

Congrats mousewords! And to everyone that made it. The 'never give up' quote is from 'Galaxy Quest'. Seen it?


Thanks for your kind words, gaye-belle. Yeah, I had a mid-month crisis of faith. I kind of freaked out when I saw my story starting to get off track. I thought writing a second, more loosely plotted story would help, but I soon dropped it in favor of the first.

I liked being able to combine fiction in this challenge, but next time I think I'll stick with one story and lots of discipline!

I guess the key is putting enough words down to move the story forward while keeping the plot bunnies from hatching all over the place. Unless, of course, that's the point! :-)

It's been a blast! Each time I do a challenge like this I come away with new insights and things I want to improve in the future.


Anyway, a toast to all! *clink*

It was lovely having you all at our house. What winners you are with your attitude. Yes 'stickability' is my word for completing these challenges, get those words down, then clean up the mess afterwards. :)(which I haven't done yet.)
