Some conversation has been going on here: "Invalid Item"  about word counts. They did an experiment to see how much they could write in 15 minutes. It looks like the average ranges between 700 - 1000 words. This may help you plan your writing schedule for November, and when you get to that challenge on October 24th, you can keep this estimate in mind.

Also, to everyone who is in brainstorm mode right now, don't forget about the random prompt generator. If you're totally stuck and need inspiration, generate a random prompt and see if it gives you any ideas.

Six days and counting...!!!
