While my NaNoWriMo isn't going so well, it's still kind of satisfying to have finally completed the 3 Day Novel in Sept. I know, it's two months old, but it still makes me happy. Although results won't be announced until January (when all entrants will receive the coveted completion sticker - yes I'm throwing a party when I get mine) I did just get emailed some entertaining statistics. And here they are:


Final stats:
570 registrants / 428 manuscripts submitted (about 75% submitting)

Global regions participating:
Canada: 340 registrants
U.S.A.: 212 registrants
Other: 16 registrants (including Australia, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Sweden, Trinidad
and the U.K.)

Concentrations:
Vancouver: 109 registrants (26% of all registrants from B.C.)
Toronto: 49 registrants (21% of all registrants from Ontario)
Edmonton and Calgary: 12 registrants each
States with 10 or more registrants: New York, Pennsilvania, Michigan, Illinois, Texas, California, Oregon, Washington

Which means that 48 other people were coming completely unglued in Toronto over the labor day weekend. If we could harness that energy I'll be we could burn some toast.

Right....back to the NaNo...how believable is an alcoholic vampire anyway?
