MOD POST: 1st Mandatory Check-in

[alexcat]

This is the first of three mandatory check-ins. Tell me if you're still in. You can comment on progress as well, if you wish. You have until November 15 to comment here and if you have not, I'll send a PM to you, asking you to respond. If I do not hear from you, then I'll remove you from the challenge this year.

That sounds awfully stern but it serves to let me know who is in or out and it reminds us all to write!

Happy writing!

Alex
