I will put up a post about that and am thinking that if everyone participating can post their totals on 3rd November to start us off, then you can take those figures, do the graph, and email them onto me (I will contact you) and I can put it up on the blog?

Thank goodness, therefore, for Liz for kicking me into gear and suggesting a group of us band together to do this. Thanks also to Kaz Mahoney for coming up with the reduced wordage which is genius. Frankly, I find the thought of writing 1,666 words a day frightening. I'm quite happy to do a thousand and 30,000 in November would mean that I'll have reached my 50,000 for my YA novel Raven which I'm currently re-writing.<br /><br />Hoorah - bring it on!Essjayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520594953099845794noreply@blogger.com
