Tim, thanks for the neat chart competition charts. I find them exquisitely motivating.
Keeps me writing!

WRITE EARLY; WRITE OFTEN!
I don't know what's up with your chart--but my goal was and is 181,000 by Sunday night. The chart has 184,666 as my end goal which isn't right.
(And I started when I was 23,000 words away (at 158K.)
Count me in. Another 18k means I need to double my word count (and really I need to triple it to finish at 50k).
I'll give it a shot! I could use the extra push.
Alright, I'm in. Maybe it'll be the added incentive needed to get my butt in gear this final week.
Fine. Throwing my name in. Let's see if this happens.
EDIT: Also, your chart has an off by 1 error or something with some of the cells.
Fixed! Thanks, Melissa.

ok - i'll join this challenge - don't know if I'll make it - but i need a good old kick in the butt - and anything can happen. right?
You can do it! *Gets out the pompoms and starts a cheer*

Okay, I have stuff going on for the next couple of days, but I like being challenged. So...game on! (If there is still room and all that!) :D
I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions. ~James Michener
I guess that I am in as well. I think I was about 18K from the finish on Thursday anyway! Trying to finish strong, but have to be done by Thursday because I am off to Vienna on Friday morning. I won't complain! I'll keep typing.
I'm in if it's not too late to sign up! I need this! 7k to go, but I find myself looking at my score in awe more than writing now.......
I never thought I could get this far, but now I realize if I can write 6k in one day, I can finish this in three! :D
You know what's not conducive to good writing? Not plotting.
You know what else isn't conducive to good writing? Drugs. Specifically pain meds. Specifically, pain meds that are used when you just got your teeth taken out.
SAD DAY.
18k tomorrow?
.... I think maybe not. But I do plan on having my novel plotting completed, so that's worth something right? Right? No?
Okay.
GOOD JOB TO EVERYONE THAT FINISHED!!!
Ouch! What happened to your teeth? Were they your wisdom teeth? All your teeth? (of course, writing as I am about dreams and nightmares, that image came to mind)
Novel plotting is definitely worth something! We'll have a Journey Path for those who want to finish their novels...
Augh! I am WOEFULLY BEHIND!
I spent all night tonight making cards, and haven't gotten to write at all. :( Tomorrow I will have to force 4k out in just under four hours. Gulp. T_T
Becky, you can totally do this! I'll be on Jabber if you need someone to war with. :)

Yeah, my wisdom teeth. :c my face, like the Grinchs heart, has grown three sizes! Do faces have sizes? Oh well.
Lots of ice and pain meds and not a lot of writing going on.
That will definitely be a path I'm joining. I plan on kate January or early February for finishing my novel's first draft.
I will be on, likely around 8PM and onwards 'til morning (or midnight I guess)! I managed just under 700 words during lunch which helps me out a lot. I either have 3100 or 3200 left to do.
I'm thinking right now that I'm going to be parking my butt in the Caribou Coffee in Darien (on 75th street near the SmashBurger). I need to make a supply run for my shop at Michael's, and it's right down the road. Less distractions there, too! I will definitely be hanging out in the Jabber chat.
Hope you are feeling better. I hear that milk shakes may be doable and encouraged in your condition.
Yea, I had an exam earlier today and finished a bit beyond the requisite word count a few minutes ago. Time for the happy dance. It's a bit after 10:00, maybe I'll wait until tomorrow. Yawn.
