I'm almost at the best bit, so the words should come quickly. |

About 4500 words today. Not as good as I wanted, but I'll have more time tomorrow to pull another 10K day. |

| *sigh* still hovering around 26,000 and I don't anticipate finishing. If I can even break 30,000, I think I would be happy, though ^_^ |

*Walks up to the podium and takes a bow*
"Attention ladies and gentlemen, the results in for Scotty's Novel, ahem."
100,058! That's right, OVER TWICE WHAT THEY WANTED!!!! 100,058!
YEE-HAW! *Runs merrily around the room, skipping and jumping*
If you don't believe it, see for yourself.

The thing is, I didn't post anything up until today because I haven't been to my Nano page. And no, I didn't just pound on they keyboard incessantly. Those were real words I put in. And no, I didn't just post something I've already written.
The secret: Not having a life, not having any friends, not having an after school job, and being able to type at 107 wpm. Actually, I typed creatively at 35 words per minute. I'll do the math for you:I spent roughly 50 hours this month plunking away at my computer.
I could have learned a new language, I could have gone biking. I could have done any number of beneficial things but I sat at a desk and typed for nearly one and three quarters hours each of these 27 days of November until now. Now I am finished with NaNoWriMo.
I will never ever do it again. Ever.
Somehow, outrageous victory isn't as satisfying as it should be.
Now I'm going to go work out and then I will play my guitar. |

Wow, Scotty! That's unbelieveable! Congrats!
I hit 45k today. I was hoping to finish with 60, but 50 will do nicely. |

Wow, Scotty! Congrats! Hopefully some more people other than us will get 100k. That'd be cool. I just hit it not long ago, and now I think I need to take a break. By writing something else. I have a lot of old stuff that needs editing...
My story's a long way from finished, though. I just had the first climax, and it went better than I would have expected. Yeah, anyway, I may just have to go for a couple more word wars. I'm so obsessed.

45,354.
Still behind.
But catching up.
And within reach.
I can make it if I try.
And *insert swear word of choice here* it, I am determined to win for the second year in a row. Showing I can write a novel through almost anything.
I'm so close I can taste it. |

14,419.
Sigh. It's going to take a miracle for me to win at this point. I wonder if I can get some little elves to finish it for me tonight while I sleep...?
Yeah. It's late. Maybe I can just get over 15k tonight...  |
