I always want to try and save at least my writing for the actual September, so then I feel like I've done it 'properly', but this year I had to do writing in advance. :rip: Partly because I just took so many screenshots, and partly because I want to get something out that I'm happy with :rotfl:

You're brave Trip, but I believe in you! I, unfortunately, am starting up an extreme workload at school so I'm taking all the pre-planning I can get. Plus if it carries over and keeps me moving, then I'm sure as hell not going to complain. :lol:
Not being in school is the greatest writing privilege IMO so good luck to all students here!

mine is more of a "update" challenge than a story challenge if that makes sense. like i'm a hoarder of pictures and i don't update for ages so i'm pushing myself to get updates out.
i have no storylines but still :shrug:

I have to write for school this morning, then I hope to finish Shades of Blue this afternoon, tomorrow at the latest. Then I am going to start 100 Babies of Grace, my new challenge. I was toying with the idea of signing the new challenge up for Simnano since I have already finished writing Merry Grace and the signups are still open.

Okay *cracks knuckles* Heat has died for the moment and I have to crank out at least three updates to reach the halfway point. I just need to do some more playing to make sure I have 60 pics to use.

I'd edit my post but the sign up thread is locked. I thought I had longer in the day to decide since today is still the 8th.

I'm doing Random Branches. Link is here: http://boolprop.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=345

Okay well I can change it Seera. I can still add to locked threads so I've put in your link. ^^ Also I was a bit overzealous in locking it...I guess that's how my 330 am brain worked. :fisty:

I'm really far behind :shrug:

I've gotten a good chunk of the next chapter written (like, half of it, about 2500 words), but I still need to build a set! :faint:

Send help. The real question at this point is whether I can crank out 2 chapters this month, since each one hovers about 5,000 words so far.

( :bullwhip: Get to it, Lauren!)

Although I will freely admit that if this event was in the summer, I probably could get 10,000 words/2 updates easily. But alas, I have a 9-5 internship with school starting. :swoon: Woe is me!

Yeah, we had thought about setting it up for July or August but September was the month voted for, I ran a poll. :)

Ah, well that's good for me anywho because I didn't find out about it until about August 15.

Also, 1/2 of my chapters for the month are written (5,771 words)! Game is loading now to start taking pictures! :heavybreathing:

:bounce: I'm so happy for making it into SimNaNo this year. Thanks again Ani, for letting me enter late. :hug:

Hopefully I should get a couple more updates the next couple of days.

Do I have to post only one update per day for it to count? Sometimes I get really in the zone, and take so many pics I have to split it into two updates. Do I hold on to the second one?

If you want to post more than one update in a day then go for it! Any updates you post in September count towards the medal. Also, check out the announcement in the Events section everyone and let me know what you guys think about it.

Hello!
I was wondering, if I signed up two challenges for SimNo and got gold in one of them and only silver in the other, would I still qualify for a gold medal?
Just curious. :)

The second simno isn't formal, mpart. It's just for personal fun. If you get gold once, that's the medal you get. Julie and I just joke that we should do a second one because we normally write so much. :shrug:

Yeah, you still get Gold for the one that qualified for it. Second challenges are just for fun and don't win you a second medal.
