Note: If you have any special requests for critters, be sure to post them soon! It will take me a while to make the 24 but I hope to have them done sometime later this month. I will see if folks are available for a lunch out to distribute them; otherwise, we can try the first Journey meeting or make other plans. Original Post People in our region love plot critters (like this plot carrot my daughter made today): and this sparkly plot kitty I put together: And I dearly want people in our region to write this final week of NaNoWriMo, particularly in an effort to draw even with Maryland. So here is my challenge to Naperville-homed folks in our Introduce Yourself thread that feeds our faces graph:

Post in this thread your current wordcount and your goal of at least 18000 additional words written by the end of November 30 (more is better!)

If you can make that goal by the end of November 30, I will make for you a plot critter! The more words over 18000 you are, the fancier I will be! So if you currently have 10,000 and end up with 28,000, you will win yourself a plot critter! If you currently have 0 and write 18,000, you will get a plot critter! If you have 172,000 and you end up with 214,000, I'll make you two or three special plot critters!

So help out the region! Post your pledge to take up this challenge! Note that delivery might not be until January (at our Journey first meeting) or at least sometime in December since there are preparations I need to do for the TGIO.
