Hmm...not happening.
But you'll catch up anyways...

I should break zero (...again) soon. I just have to remember to post a goal before Monday is over.

You posted it! Now just make sure you do it.

Aye, sir!

Lady Katharina is catching me!


Grace, look! *points* You're up there!!!

Ha! I still have 100 points to go. Don't worry yet, Lycanis.

I'm above zero (...again).

Well...yeah.


Yes!

Aubreyness is moving up!

I is? Although, if I keep forgetting to report that I finished my goal, that won't last...

*pokes head in*

Am I too late to join?

(And, question... do I have to participate every week? Like, if I were especially busy one week and decided not declare a goal, would I lose points? Or would I be alright until the next week?)

You most certainly are not too late to join, Abby!

You only lose points for declaring a goal and failing to meet it. There are no penalties for missing a week, though you may find my assistant in your inbox poking and pestering you to make a goal.

Okie dokie, then, I guess I'm joining!

Hooray!

How does this work? I think I might like to join in...

Here's the current week's thread, though you'll have to wait for the next week's thread to join in: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6889

It'd be great if you decide to!

Awesome! I think I will next week!

You think you'll still be around in forty minutes or so? After that amount of time passes, I'll be able to use the computer that has Skype on it. ^^

Hey, 75 is a nice number... maybe I should just stay there...

No, you need to get it higher than that! 100 is an even better number.

NO! You have to catch up with me. I challenge you to get half of my score.

And, Raven passed you today! You must fight to regain your position.

Yes, Phili! *cheers on*

Set a point goal and try to reach it! I'm still trying to pass Faith, though it hasn't been going in my favour yet. *High-fives Faith for doing such a good job of being hard to keep up with*

Yes, and that goal should be to have the most points! Know why? Because then you can never stop!

Exactly. And I suppose, sir Wolf-head-of-the-pack, that you know this from experience?

I'll try to catch you, but bear in mind that since I only started two weeks ago, it might take awhile.

I don't know if a question like this goes here, but I thought I'd ask. Am I limited to one personal goal a week?

Er...yeah, I mean...the longer you're at the top, the more you want to stay there.

Good! I'm sure it's possible for you to--you'll just have to do multiples of the weekly challenges when you have extra writing time. =D

Yes. If you look at mine, you see a bunch of small goals, but they are all lumped together because you only get points for one personal goal each week.
(You're fine asking that here, but I suppose it might be better to ask it on one of the weekly challenge threads next time. )

And the more others want to dethrone you.


And then oh, the points will fly. *greedily rubs hands in anticipation*


That's what I was afraid of.


Duly noted.

Yeeeeessss.

When I first started the challenges, I thought I'd like to dethrone Lycanis. Then I told myself to get my head out of the clouds and that there was no way that was happening. XD

XD I'm sure it can be done. It just would take determination (and a bit of comptetitiveness, because that's what got me there in the first place ) Oh, and a lot of writing.

XDD Competetiveness is something I don't have.

I've been trying to dethrone Jeremiah for awhile now.

Well, then just write a lot and get lots of points.

Catch me if you can!

*catches big brother*

I meant figuratively speaking...like getting a score as high as mine.

Maybe you can borrow some of mine. I seem to have an overabundance.

I'm trying! Busy Life + Catching Jeremiah have not been working together lately.

Hah, well maybe one of these days I'll start doing something with my life (like get a job ) and then you'll catch right up.

Don't feel bad; I'm in the same boat. I like to think that writing is my job, and I'll keep to that until I actually discover whether I can make any money. If not...

Yeah... Most writers need to get a job of some kind, unfortunately.

*has been stalking the thread*

Bu-but... but... I DON'T WANT A JOOOOOB!

*sniff* Sorry. I tend to get a little freaked out thinking about the future.

That's all right. I was the same way when I was younger. Don't fret, you're too young to be worrying about such things as jobs, and you've got a head start over me in the writing category. I didn't start until I was 17.

Oh, and by the way, writing IS a job (if you can make it pay the bills, anyway ).

That makes me feel a little better. And yeah, I guess I am and have. Though you have an advantage over me by having started your writing after you got a better education. I don't know how it's an advantage, it just is. XD

I know... but it's hard.

(Topic has been derailed)

I have been trying to dethrone Jeremiah for weeks now. I keep inching a little closer at times, but then the next week he'll go and finish like 5 weekly goals and get lots of extra points.

It's the same for me, Faith! I can't get anywhere near.

I got 13 points! *really shouldn't be so worked up about it, but she is*

Yay! Yes you should, that's a 100% increase--the biggest advance you'll ever get percentage wise.

*chuckles fondly* Right now I'm not sure I'd remember a number goal if I set one, but I'll keep working on raising my score.
