November 1st is now officially less than ONE WEEK AWAY for those of you living in the earliest time zones. For the rest of us, we have a few hours before the panic sets in (unless you're reading this several hours after the original posting!!)

Personally, I am more psyched about this NaNo project than I've ever been, and I'm already booking my flight to visit Elle - on hiatus in New Zealand where November 1st will come much earlier than it will come for me here in the middle of the USA.

Let the countdown begin.
