Word Count - Six Days In

Well, a trmendous number of participants have neglected to send me their word counts as they promised. Fortunately, NaNoWriMo's Central Office has lent me some of their guilt monkeys for unleashment on these people, so they'll be feeling the wrath shortly. Here are the rest of the counts (bear in mind that a thirty-one day pace means that participants "should" be done 9677.42 words by this time):

Update: Nick Tam and Jake Troughton were less than half an hour late. We forgive them. But will the guilt monkeys?

Upperdate: Scott Lilwall reported on time, just to the wrong e-mail address. The guilt monkeys have been called off.

Uppest (for now) date: Richard Casey, Barrett Klesko, and Chris Samuel chime in in the middle of the night.

Upper yet date: The guilt monkeys bring in their first victims: Matt Costello, Dave Cournoyer, Caitlin Crawshaw, and Kim Misutka.

Some variation on the word "up", followed by the word date: Mike Larocque and Krystina Sulatycki succumbed to the wiles of the guilt monkeys, while Natalie Climenhaga and Ryan Heise wandered into the office in which we all work.

Date. Very up: Janet Lo, Donald Heitzman, and Ashraf Rushdy chime in.

Steve Smith: 11817
Scott Lilwall: 11500
Adam Demaniuk: 10188
Catrin Berghoff: 9705
Ryan Heise: 7000
Jake Troughton: 5500
Nicholas Tam: 5133
Nadia Rushdy: 4230
David Cournoyer: 3113
Jenna Greig: 2639
Daniel Kaszor: 2400
Amanda Henry: 2366
Matt Costello: 2265
Erik Jacobs: 1959
Richard Casey: 1511
Erin Reddekopp: 1278
Erran Rilkoff: 1156
Bryn Cox: 1113
Justin Benko: 1080
Michelle Kelly: 1028
Ashraf Rushdy: 900
Heather Olah: 887
Ashley Geis: 633
Krystina Sulatycki: 572
Chris Samuel: 565
Josh Bazin: 400
Natalie Climenhaga: 4
Mike Larocque: "so close to zero that I might as well have not started"
Janet Lo: 0
Kim Misutka: 0
Steph Shantz: 0
Heather Smith: 0

So last year at this time, only I was on pace to finish. This year, a whopping three people are (and I think Scott Lilwall is as well), so my prediction of forty new novels seems well on its way to fruition. Go team!

Uzma Rajan, Stephen Beckman, Caitlin Crawshaw, Donald Heitzman, and Barrett Klesko have dropped out, but, as you might have gathered from the above list, we have two new participants: Amanda Henry and Jenna Greig.

The following people haven't sent me word counts, and therefore should not be trusted about anything ever:

Ian Cole
Elliot Kerr
Thabo Miller
Michael Ng
Chris O'Leary
Greg Overguard
Shawna Pandya
Tim Peppin
Chris Schafenacker
Michael Smith
Iman Verjee

I'll update this post if any of the above people update me in the next couple of hours.
