October Novel Prep Challenge

Hi Darlings!
Hey, I am feeling a bit confused, because the countdowns to the start of prep are different in different countries.

When I was having a little its-nearly-here panic with Elle - on hiatus and said, well at least since we are a day ahead in NZ we have more time - and she replied actually that means October 1st starts for us sooner! (Duh, which I knew, but thought the challenge was on WDC time.)


So, is that right? Do I actually need to start in: Auckland: [Refresh to load countdown.]
While folk in the States get to lounge another: New York: [Refresh to load countdown.]

I was really hoping that we were all using the same WDC clock
