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.
I wrote the above just for you.

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. !_!

And will we be seeing those 12,000 words, by any chance, my fine Imp? ^_~

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.
Got YWS? I do.

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.)

:-D 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. :D 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. :P

But everyone else just about blew through it! Major kudos to all you crazy kiddos who finished so quickly. :D
