46,331.

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. :D

*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.

Scotty, you officially are a crazy person. 'Nuff said.

Wow, Scotty! Congrats! :D 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. :(

48,799. Hoping to get 49k tonight, or even past that. Shouldn't be too hard. Almost done!

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... :smt015
Home is where the books are.
