NaNoWriMo Update

Well, I'd been meaning to update the fierce competition among us Friday Challengers to complete NaNoWriMo more often than I have. As you'll see shortly, updates aren't the only thing I've been failing to work on regularly. Here is how we all stand (FC username, if different from NaNoWriMo username, in parentheses):

AlDavis (Al) - 4619 words
Arisia - 609 words
stuartwatkinson (Watkinson) - 2363 words
torainfor (Kersley Fitz) - 29,874 words
the bandit - 23,035 words
VintageSeason (M) - 836 words
Carmine Vrill - 9002 words
Henry - 3345 words

It looks like Kersley is well on her way to successfully completing the challenge. (We hates her, Precious! Oh yes, hates all nasty, dedicated writerses!) The bandit has slipped somewhat behind schedule, but he's still in the running. It's not impossible for any of the rest of us to still do this, just highly unlikely -- especially when I have the same word count I reported 11 days ago.

I'd offer excuses, but they'd mostly be just that, excuses. Right now, I'm going to try to galvanize myself to get back to writing the story. I'm less interested in "winning" NaNoWriMo than I am in getting myself into the habit of writing a few thousand words a week.
