Boy! It’s been a busy month. (Don’t worry, I sent the Duke home.)  I’ve been writing, keeping track of the NPI tallies, training at work, reading books, doing the ‘Couch-to-5k’ program, and … I’ve been being a dad. I feel so productive!

But the trick is keeping it up. Can we continue to write each and every day? I know I fall off the writing wagon sometimes, but NPI always gets me hopping back on to try again.

I’d like to thank everyone who participated, with an extra-big congratulations to everyone who finished.

Together we cranked out an average of 5,341 words per day. This was in no small part thanks to Ryan and Brian, who both went above and beyond what the Novel Push Initiative requires each day.

In all, four people ended up passing which gives us a 50/50 pass ratio.

I’ve broken down everyone’s stats below. After the breakdown, there will be an awards section.
