I wonder if you got the same chapter as me? Itāll be interesting to compare, tomorrow.
Crap, I forgot to check for words that Britons spell differently. Well, colour me stupid. How dishonourable of me. Not a smart practise.
Iām still going!!!
Every body knows Marleyās stuff! youtube.com/watch?v=L3HQMbQAWRc
Seriously though, hope everyone has had a great time!

Donāt worry - I fixed it.
Finished!
Just passing it by the in-house editorial departmentā¦
Iāve just sent mine. 4,500+ words - I really canāt do concise or pithy, Iām afraid. Let me know if you donāt get it, pigfender. And thanks for the fun again!
Hi,
I sent my chapter in at 19.31 precisely.
Am happy to have written The End on something.
Thanks for the experience!
Piggy. Whereās my book?
Somethingās cooking ā¦
Now Iām going to go back and read the posts from the past day. That should be fun and informative.
I was too late to enter but glad to discover that I was ready to give something like this a try.
Okay, mine is in, Just an hour late.
So mine went in this afternoon I did it sitting outside our tent in Luxembourg never used scrivener on iPad before so I apologise now but family called our son is doing ironman tomorrow but I just did not want to not do it and managed to use phone paired to iPad to send
Good luck all and thank you rog for all your hard work so far and to come still
Still working on mine. I know Iām past the deadline.
I just sent it in.
Apologies for the appallingly beastly tardiness.
Mine went in late too. I had the countdown clock up and it kept adding time. Iām not sure what is going on, but itās still counting down to something.
I set my language to UK English, but when I tested it all that it did was stop highlighting UK spellings; didnāt catch US spellings. I donāt think I used any of the obvious ones anyway, which is a shame, but I did remember that they apparently use āamongstā and ātowardsā much more often in the UK and gleefully went with my instinct to use them over āamongā and ātowardā. And after Iād carefully trained myself out of it!
I did forget they have different quotation rules, but I didnāt have that many quotations sooo.
Almost there now - just a handful of chapters still to come in before I can start the magic of compile and upload.
How has everyone found it this year? Has it been fun?
Itās been brill. Iām a first timer and I loved it. Cannae wait to read it.
Huge thanks to Rog for the Herculean effort in getting th s off the ground.
Opening the brief was like unwrapping my first Tiny Tears Doll - Christmas Day 1979 give or take a year or two.
Itās been more than fun. Iāve grown and learned ā¦ Iāve identified things that I want to work on in my writing. Iāve also learned a great deal of strange facts about the afterlife that I now have to remember arenāt true. That a skilled Marley boasts a 60% conversion rate, but only about 5% last long-term ā are statistics Iāll be quoting for a long time.
I had a great time. Thank you so may for handling the hard part. Although after reading some of the responses and the amount of work others did, I almost feel like I cheated. I had a heck of a time drafting my chapter, spent the entire night writing and rewriting, throwing my hands up in the air and saying āforget it. I donāt want to be a writer. This blows.ā
So see you in October.
