    I broke 50K yesterday...and today I finished my story (I even put [THE END]). The ending's crap, and pretty much the whole thing is crap, but come January or February I'll go back to it and edit the whole thing...like mad.

    My final word count is 51, 369. *Happy dance.* And tomorrow I get to celebtrate! My brother is buying me Tempest for a late birthday present.

    Congrats Kestrel, and everyone else who's finished!!!

    Eleventh_Gaurd: My final battle really sucked, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can always go back and fix it after you've taken a break from it. Good luck!

    Gah, I haven't gotten anywhere today.

    ...Unless you count noticing that if I were to attribute to my main character, as writing or dreams, some of the story-fragments I've written for Neopets during the month of November, I could boost by over 9000 words all at once.

    Wow! You guys are very impressive. Congratulations to all of you, okay, maybe not the person who has only written 500 words :p but really, what an accomplishment.

    Congrats to all you guys who have made it to 50K!

    I broke 47K today...my Spanish test is going to suffer for it I'm afraid. I won't be able to write tomorrow at all though... Only 3K more to go!

    Congrats to everyone who has passed the finishline so far and, frankly, congrats to those who started at all.... Just the idea of writing that much in a month had my head reeling!

    4225 words.

    I'm hoping to make it to 5000, but I might not be able to get online to actually make it official. But I'll still have written the words, so I've decided it's all good.


    ETA:

    And I made it to 5000.

    I now have 5358 words. This is probably the last milestone I'll hit before the month is over, as I'll never make it to 10,000 in time. Oh, well.

    Congrats to the winners!
    Keep writing everyone else!!!

    Me, I'm reached my crazy stopping point and will be enjoying the happy 50K glow.

    I'm being generous by describing my "ending" as a craptastic pile of verbal vomit, but they gave me the certificate nonetheless.

    I won!

    And in the event that you fail, look at it this way, you all wrote more than I did LOL.

    Congratulations to all--and I see that some of my congratulations were a tad late. [face_blush]

    For the rest of you, hang in there! You guys are going above and beyond anything I could imagine in a month.

    I won! [face_dancing]

    It was a long, hard road for me. I can actually count the number of times I wanted to give up. But thanks to some very supportive friends and groups, I did not. So my story is finished and the word count validated.

    Now the question is what is to be my reward?

    Final word count: 50,054

    That sounds like most of my story! There's a plot in there somewhere chasing it's own tail, but there's a lot of filler as well..
    Congrats to the new winners!

    Congrats to all who've finished...way to go....[face_dancing]


    I see the finish line and actually may be done with my 50K worth of words, at least, hopefully by tonight...I was hoping to finish Part One of my novel which encompasses the first 15 chapters of a possible 45, but that may not happen...Oh well, the goal was to write 50,000 words...which if all goes well I will do....:D


    My official NaNo word count so far: 47,208
