November Madness: Day 1 Update
Here's a recap of activity for Day 1 of @freewritehouse's November Madness.
Ten of the 17 participants posted word counts to our tracker form and collectively wrote 17902 words! Posting to the form is optional so that only includes some of the writers. I noticed on the official NaNoWriMo site many others have written on the crazy first day too. @byn is my hero with over 7000 words on day 1!
A note for writers using the form
We have writers in time zones spanning GMT+10 to GMT-8. That means the "latest" writers will have until 3 am my time to post their word count. So these daily updates will always be one day behind. Even though I'm a nightowl, I can't stay up that late every night and still function in my normal life!
Supporting one another
Many of our participants are posting daily updates, so please support them by commenting on or upvoting their posts. Getting around to all of them will take a lot of time (time we could be writing!) so my plan is to focus on 2-3 a day to make sure I can keep track of everyone at least a couple times during the month. I'm hoping everyone will find the time to stay connected in some way.
To help your fellow writers support you, consider posting links to your daily post in the 'writer's posts' in our discord channel in the NaNoWriMo section. This will help others find you quickly - and our fans too.

I've been trying to at least resteem everyone's nano when I find one. Then I can read it when I have time. Everyone's work is fabulous, so I don't want to miss anybody's. 👏
I hear you!! I will go to your profile and read them all :)
Oooh, good plan. THANK YOU @wonderwop!
Eep! I didn't bookmark the link to update our wordcount. I waste more time hunting through old posts.... today, only 650 words, but I swear I'll do more tomorrow. I tried catching up on other people's writing and went off googling stuff and the clock, it was a ticking, and I MUST manage my time better!!

Thanks to everyone here keeping each other on track, upvoting, reading, resteming, commenting - it's busy and fun!
