Congrats, Clau! I thought your story idea sounded excellent, so I've been tracking your progress for a while. I can't wait to read the entire thing!

Oy... It's no where near finished, which is the worst part. I'm around 55k now and I have a feeling I'll have about 20k more to write. If not more than that. It's ridiculous.

I know the feeling. I've only outlined about two thirds of this, and I'm over 84k. Still haven't finished with that outline. :)

I did it! Woo!

Not bad for a first time NaNoer. ;)

Although my novel isn't anywhere near done. I think I'll give it a break for a wee while before I start hacking at it again. :D

Fwah! *high fives Tillychan, Saint Razorblade, and Insomnia*

Well, I'm an emotional wreck now, but I did it. XD Unfortunately, I still have a good 10-20K left to go. Oh, well! Four days left. I'll make it work.

I'll join you, Clau! Let's bake brownies and have a party. ;)

Haha. This two day road trip to L.A. is the perfect getaway from my NaNo. I'll probably be back at it by Thursday, if not Wednesday evening out of sheer boredom. ^_^

It was a NaNo horror story: I reached over 47,771 words when typing at work, and thought that I could finish it at home, so I emailed the file to myself, and went home, only to discover that the internet was down at home! I was shocked and nearly spiraled into depression. But then I thought, "I don't need the rest of my file! I was at a chapter break, and I just need to subtract my word count from 50,000, type that much, and I'll get it!"

So I typed 2289 words, and added that to my word count I reached at work, and was overjoyed to have reached 50,060 words!

The internet was back up this morning, so I checked to make sure, and sure enough, there it was!

Yay you guys! Alrigh'.

My first Nano was a lot of fun. Of course, there were about a million other things I could have been doing, but hey, you can't beat that printable golden certificate .pdf, can you? And now I have another novel to edit, so yeah, it was okay.

Oh yeah, did I mention I had 100,058 words? YEAH!
