HOW FAR DID YOU GET?

Here is the place to post how far you got this month with NaPoWriMo, and congratulate your friends.

:D

I, myself, managed to finish and write 30 poems. w00t.

Ta,

A terrible one-third of the way.

In my defence I had 8,000 words of academic papers and read about 50 books/articles in that time for Uni. But still. I had hoped to make at least 20 D:

I got thirty myself.

Even if I did "cheat" and write four in one day sometimes. Heh.

Congrats Cal!

Congrats to everyone who made it to thirty! And well done to those who didn't too, good work everyone.

I managed sixteen and a half but the last one and a half aren't typed. In my defense, I also wrote a couple of poems that I hated too much to count XD

Five or six of them are quite good though so I'm happy.

One poem a day for 30 days :)

Congrats everyone. It was great fun, no?

^^ Thirty! Although a fair number of them were haikus. :P Still, a poem is a poem!

Congrats to everyone who finished, and to those who don't, there's always NaNo! ;)

Congrats to all!

This really has been a fun 30 days. It was way better than NaNo for it not as stressful.

I wrote 30 poems! I am very fond of a few but some of them are horrible. Others freaked me out but at the end of the day, I am proud of myself for writing them.

I have four hours to write three poems.

It's in the bag.

Well, with playing catch-up (which I think I was allowed to do, since I had worked ahead earlier in the month), I finished with a grand total of forty poems! HUZZAH~

Done. I've even chosen a name for the collection.

And Hannah! Fantastic! I need to go read some of yours. This very minute.

I got all thirty finished! :D It was hard!!! But! I made it through!

I was really, really forgetful sometimes though. I forgot to post everyday, but, in my defense, I was really busy this month. Yet I still made it through. Huzzah!

:D:P:D

8) :lol:

My first year! Thank you YWS for inspiring me to do this! Never written that many poems before... I'll definitely lay off poetry for a while. My brain is worked!

Congrats to all my other fellow successors! To all who didn't quite make it, congrats anyway, just for trying :)

I've written fifteen, I'll do what I can to actually write another 15 in the next few weeks, just so it can feel complete.

Oh men! I was behind, so I only did 27, I believe :(

Congratulations to everyone that did make it to thirty!
