NaNo Bucks

Herein sits a list of the donation/wager standings to date:

Straight-up donations:

• $35 -- Thanks to my mom and my best buddy, Cari!

Wagers:

1. Ben - He'll donate $30 if I get the 1,667 daily word goal every day, but I'll owe him $5 for every day I miss (not to exceed $30)
   
2. Katri - $0.50 on every 1K words
   
3. Kathy - $1 for every 1K words, plus a free bonus $25 if I write 1K words specifically about the movie Staying Alive.  (I'm going to have to get a copy and watch it, probably...)

Also, more of my friends than I thought are doing NaNoWriMo this year.  Two of my housemates, and at least one of our mutual friends (though I haven't found his username on the website yet, so I can't check in on his progress.)  Plus, as the scoreboard currently shows, I'm 8% over Chris Baty, the Executive Director of The Office of Letters and Light.  So, booyah.

For those of you who try to avoid giving money to strangers, you can go here to find how OLL uses donations (an exercise in patience, since their servers have been struggling to keep up with the demand for bandwidth).  Most of the money is needed for operating costs, like salaries, server upkeep, etc.

Thanks for all your support!  Current wordcount = 5,988
And my main character spent most of the last chapter dancing around her apartment in her underwear to Ke$ha.  I wish I could say that I planned that.  This book is chock full of surprises...
