I've been really quiet on the forums the last few weeks, but I had to tell the world. I hit 50,225 today at 5:00 PM.
I haven't been this excited in a long while!

Congratulations! w00t!
There will be a sign up sheet for the carpal tunnel surgery next weekend. :)
*laughing*
Seriously, mate, that rocks. I mean,. OK, I hate you a wee bit in that horribly jealous "whaddya mean you're already done" kind of way, but it's an affectionate sort of envy. :)
Wow.
I feel so... slow, somehow. *giggle*

Have also been too busy writing to do much posting, but I'm here, and I'm done! I've hit 50000K and finished my novel (it's a children's novel and wrapped up at 51400K). So, yay!!!!

That's it, then. Did it again, and I sure didn't think I would this year.
I love nano ;)

Congrats to everyone who's made it so far, and big cheers to the rest of you who still have plenty of time to finish!

I am at 49,222.
All that I feel right now is VERY tired, but hopefully I'll feel that same surge of exhilaration when I pass the finish line.

As you can see, I did it.

Congratulations! Are you finished-finished or only word count-finished?
In either case, hats off to you!

Word-count finished. The novel is only halfway done, if that.

Congratulations to everyone!
I'm very excited about my novel because not only did it finish where I wanted it to, but I sent the prologue to a publishing company in Winnipeg and they want to read the entire thing once I've finished editing it!!!! (apologies for my misuse of exclamation points, hahaha)

In the immortal words of that green guy from Just for Laughs: Mommy, it's over!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Okay, that was a lie, but I needed to get it out of my system. My novel isn't done. Actually, at the 50 000 word mark, I was writing in the point of view of a brand new character. Hehe. I'm aiming to finish the whole book by the 8th, which I understand is when the TGIO party is.

Only problem is that now that I look back on it (I sent the chapter in on a dare), I really don't have the guts to send in the rest. XP

I did it...
I just broke 50k about 30 minutes ago... What a great feeling can't wait to finish the next 50k and hopefully the novel...
See ya all at the write in...

*stumbles into the room clutching a cup of tea*
I made it. Bleeding, battered, with no idea what the story is, even at this late date, but I made it.
See you guys Thursday/Friday.
(I have a pep talk, but I left it at work. Tomorrow.)
=Bets=
PS: Check out the "Donate Words to Chris Baty" thread for a good laugh. It's under "Reaching 50,000" in Nano Tips and Strategies in the main forums. It's really rather cute. We've all made 50k, we can spare a few words for a down and out leader...

Done, as of yesterday at 10:30. I went in and verified right away, so I wouldn't miss it again this year..LOL
Now I can go ahead and order my goal-prize... ;)

Done as of yesterday. However, somewhere along the way I forgot how to upload and did it twice. Looks like I've written an enormous amount of words in the last day. Yay! Back to normal life, whatever that is.

I still have a couple of chapters to write. I will endeavour to do so before the deadline passes.

I did it sometime around 3:30 am......and immediately validated.
But the book, alas, is not done. In fact, it's the second Nano I've worked on this novel, and it's still not done. The goal is to have it done by NaNoEdMo.
Hey, it could happen.
It's freaking epic!

WOOHOO!
I coasted to victory just after the kids' naptime. When they woke, I had only 200 more words to write. So, I called in Barney the Backup and whooshed past 50k, with a few more hundred to spare, because wouldn't that just suck if you wrote exactly 50,000 and then the Nano Word Count Validator told you you only had 49,997?!
I'd say my novel is about 80% finished. I've finally reached the climax of the novel and now it's really quite exciting. (I know that in another context that sounds all wrong, but get your head out of the gutter!)
Certifiably purple,
Kim

Got across the line at about 9 p.m. *cheers*
Storyline is finished, manuscript fairly clean, a little bit of editing and continuity needed but not much else.
