The end of week one.  So how are you doing?  Are you riding high and way ahead after those first days when everything is new and exciting and motivated?  Keep it up!  Week two CAN be the hardest time to keep that motivation going.  Are you lagging and frustrated? (I am!) That’s okay.  This year, your story is going to be Week II: Redemption.

Today’s Events:

6:00-9:00 Royal Oak

7:00-8:45 Farmington Hills

Regional Stats: Over 3.5 million words!  Go us.  Did you know that the Detroit region historically has a higher win percentage than Nano as a whole?  You’re already set up for success!

We have also sent over $2k to headquarters this year, and that’s no small feat!  Good job, everybody.  We’ve also been collecting your generous dollars and dimes bit by bit at events, and we should have the most recent total up soon.  Thank you.  Thank you so hard.

If you haven’t ordered your T shirt yet, now is the time!  There’s an order form in the forum in this thread:  https://nanowrimo.org/forums/usa-michigan-detroit/threads/423115

Finally, Seattle is still waaaay ahead of us, but that does not mean it is time to give up hope!  Nay, it is time to buck down!  Use the second week slump to our advantage!  We know we’re going to get a big boost from Midway, but we can’t count on that, nosirree.  We want to trim that lead TODAY!
