Trinity This is a group challenge where we all try to get to 250,000 pages. This challenge starts on August 1st, and then goes on until we reach 250,000 pages. After that we will increase our goal to another 250,000 and then again after we complete that.

Jonel Hey Katie, I think the current total should be a running tally of the entire groups pages (Trinity, correct me if I just made that up). So now we're at:

Current total: 1260pgs

Jonel When I read the instruction/blurb the 'we' made me think group. I guess we'll just need to wait for clarification.

Trinity Hi everyone, sorry! This is a group, not an individual challenge. So all the totals should add up to the previous post. You were correct, Jonel. :)

Aug 03, 2014 05:46PM

Jonel ok, brilliant. I'm glad we got this sorted out early in the month.

So I think that means that our current group total is 1260pgs + 558pgs (Amber's total)

Current total: 1818pgs


message 12: by Amber (new)
Aug 03, 2014 05:51PM

Amber (amberinbookland) so from now on we each add our pages to 1818? :)

Or whatever the current total is. Add it to the total in the post before you.

ie// next post is 1818+222 = 2040

post after 2040+365 = 2405

etc, etc, etc
