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.

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.

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!
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.
I've just hit 80. Now for a weekend of seclusion...
