After my first week of writing, I have reached 16,850 words. Even after being sick for two days, I am still above both my personal goal of 12,500 a week and the contest's goal of 15,000 by Day 9 (today).
You can follow my progress by going to this page of the contest website:
http://nanowrimo.org/participants/bio...There you can read excerpts as I post them, and see my daily word count by clicking on the Stats tab. I update frequently as I write, so you can follow my progress in "real" time.
Starting Week 2 now!
