Lucky you! But I did a Novel In A Day a couple of years ago which was based on A Christmas Carol and set in London, so I had an advantage then.
Did you like living in Chicago? It looks like an amazing city and I’ve learned so much about it online and from YouTube in the last 24 hours. 
Have visited Chicago few times visiting relatives but none helped today only things I googled was best places to go sledging I hope he got there at weekend with his daughter 
and I did check weather
I used Google to check the weather, too! Found out it snows a lot in Chicago, and it’s windy. But I knew that from that Doris Day song. I put some snow in the story — didn’t want to waste the research after staying up half the night!
Me too it set scene to allow for possibilities at weekend
BTW have we written one book or several? 
Only one of those is true.
I did take the cat out for a walk, though.
I did! It’s a huge city with a ton of culture, but I love living in Portland Oregon now more. It’s easier for raising a family. I do miss Chicago dogs though.
For a while I lived just north of Chicago in southern Wisconsin. My memory of Chicago in winter is horizontal icicles! It’s hard to think of a more emphatic way of showing why it is known as the Windy City.
Whew! Well, that was a scramble at the end!! Got my chapter in with ten minutes left on the countdown clock (sorry Rog!).
Man, timezones suck :'O
Hopefully it’s still okay - it feels much less polished than the fiction I usually write, but then again I usually have four+ drafts of that rather than the simple two drafts I had to go with this time!
Looking forward to reading what we’ve all created together!
Horizontal icicles, eh! I wish I’d known about that when I wrote the chapter. Did you put that in yours?
((You know that in the UK the weather is a very popular topic of conversation. Can talk about it for hours!)) 8)
Wow I barely slept and I’m up now waiting for everything to come together!
Probably several. Excited
I think we’re the only group using the forum at the moment. 11 of us are online. It’s probably the rush of adrenaline, that feeling of euphoria, that’s keeping us awake day and night - even though we’ve completed the task and need our beauty sleep.
We also want to read the book(s) "wot we wrote! "
I just found a mistake in my editing and have couple lines doubled up can you pretend you had load scotch while reading it
YES!!!
Well, I’m sitting in my back garden enjoying the morning sun while leisurely eating a very late breakfast. There are many good things about being Australian, this is one of them,
Yay!
Yea!!!
Thank you, Pigfender. Woohoo!!! 
Wouldn’t that be the Horizontally Icy City?
