I started something but.... yeah... no words. |

Er... Guilty! I did get up to 30K before I lost it all and managed to track down an old version with only 12K. I'm too lazy to keep it going.  |

I finished the 50k on the twentyseventh. 
I sort of haven't finished the last chapter though, and it needs MAJOR editing before I let anyone even get near it. |

I've finished the whole novel now. It's at 61k, somewhere in there.
So yeah, I got a novel out of it. |

| I got 50k one day early. I was so freaked out that I wouldn't make it cuz at the beginning of week four, I still only had 25k. So... I wrote half of my novel in one week. *wipes sweat off of brow* I'm happy I finished though. |

It's a challenge you can take in which you need to write a 50,000 word story in only the month of November. I didn't do it, I can't write fast. I like to take my time.
Also cuz I'm lazy  |

| I got 50k, but I wouldn't call it a novel. So I voted "other". |

I read the book-form of NaNoWriMo, and did my challenge alone, this January. I got to 50k around the 27 day mark. I am still panting from the exhaustion of it.
Editing it now. I'll post the prologue here soon enough, I should think....
All the best,
Goldie |
