It's not my fault I got nothing done...
*YWS looks skeptically at Dream Deep*
No. Seriously! Seriously. Shoot Livny and Shan. It's their fault, in all reality. ^_~

| Got to 16,000 words (yay - longest story I've ever written) before coursework overwhelmed me. Will finish the novel at a later date. |

The ubiquitous Pat Buchanan is a good excuse...or at least, a near to hand excuse.
No... I haven't finished. 12,000 words!...and no finish. !_! |

Ha. Only if you want to see what Imp's writing looks like when at the very lowest ebb, confused and meandering. ^_~ |

| Well, I wrote 50,000 words but I'm a bit disappointed with the story as a whole right now. |

| With work and school on my mind, and Kat in my heart, it's really hard to make room for anything else. I'm doing fairly well, I think, given the circumstances. |

I hit my 50,000 on the 20th and honestly, I didn't have any problem getting the writing done. *prays no one shoots her for saying this*
I'm still writing though, I'm trying to get the story finished on or by the 30th. I don't know how that's going to go. |

| Well, I hit 50k, but I didn't finish the novel, so am I technically allowed to answer with the first option? *ponders* |

Got to 50k, and am also going to try and get to the real end by the 30th. I'm not sure if its going to happen or not.
It's a novel, I'm just not sure anyone would want to read it at this point... (But I'm going to let you read it, anyway.)
 yay novels! |

| Hehe, I was lucky I had a plot that wrapped up nicely...I'm finished, with the 50k and the story as well. First time ever finishing one of these projects, too! |

I didn't do it this year. I did one like this in March last year on writing.com and just about died. I'm really bad at speed writing. 
But everyone else just about blew through it! Major kudos to all you crazy kiddos who finished so quickly. |
