National Novel Writing Month and there are only 5 more days after today. I know lots of you are doing NaNo WriMo too, so please comment and let us know about your progress. I hope all of you win because it's extremely neat to paste in those words and see things come alive with the winner's screen. I know because at 11:45 last night I got this:

So let's all have a parfait today as we get ready for Thanksgiving.
If you could adopt one of these holidays as your special cause and raise money for it, which would it be? Would you knock on doors to raise cash for Square Dancing? Increase public awareness of forget-me-knots? Organize a 5K race for Gunpowder Day? (Can we say starting pistol?)

How awesome to have reached 50000 words... and early too! Woohoo!
I like the idea of Housewife Day. We don't get nearly enough recognition. And Use Even If Seal is Broken Day just sounds dangerous.
I've bombed at NaNo. Big time. But I have over 20000 more words than I had on November 1st, so I'm going to consider that a good thing. Maybe I can get a whole lot more in the next 5 days.

Congrats, PM! And ahead of schedule! That's awesome.
I...got distracted. As of today, I've written about 15k. I'm hoping I might hit 20 before the end of the month, but that just depends on the holiday and all.
I think its appropriate that November 15th is clean out the fridge day. You gotta get in there and throw out stuff so you have room for all the Thanksgiving food. And of course, I'm all for Air Day. Air is the most important thing ever.
I like Waiting for the Barbarians day. A lot of days feel like that...
And congrats on your NaNo success!!
I'll take national cashew day. :-)
Congrats on hitting 50K!! I'm so proud of you.

Start your own country day. I'm going to get right on that as soon as I get time. I've already got the flag, motto, and flower picked out. Next, I'll raise an army and start a war.
I can't wait.
Wow! Kudos, PM! Way to meet your goal. :D
I'm knee deep in other things so I opted not to do NaNo this year.
I'll take Waiting for the Barbarians Day, please, with a dash of Conan and Thor for good measure.
