MADE IT!

I'm 58 and my birthday is in January so I'm pleased to say I was able to do this in record time. 50,894 as of today, yes! But my poor butt and back are paying for all the sitting. My eyes aren't doing so good either.

My story is by no means finished but now I can take more time with it instead of feeling I was on a speeding train, LOL. Good luck to those still fighting to get there. Oh and by the way, this was my very first NaNoWriMo and very first original novel!

CONGRATULATIONS!!1

And an early Happy Birthday!!

(Throwing confetti and breaking out the party hats)

Congrats to Uly and Joe!

I made it a couple of days ago too.

I see there are some others that have made it or are very close. Be sure to add your names.

Made it a couple of days ago! Woot!

Now comes the hard part, eh? (Editing, editng, editing, and still more editing.)

Crossed the line a couple of days ago, but I'm still tapping away. I'm thinking another 10k will finish it up. This has been the easiest NaNo novel so far. Once it's done, I'll put it away until some of my WIPs are finished. Editing (and rewrites) is much easier when the book isn't so fresh in mind.

Well, I haven't gotten to 50 K yet, but i am now a day or two ahead of schedule, so that feels good. Hearing about people who have already finished makes me want to get there all the more too! Congratulations!

Congratulations, everyone!

EXCITING! There is nothing like that sense of accomplishment not knowing if you can do it and then finding you CAN!
I'm about on target. Not as excited this year as the "novel" is more introspective and frankly, boring. I hope to break out in the last 15,000 or so. But that is my life right now, looking inward and taking time to ponder.

Crossed the 50,000 line today, but I still have three chapters to go.

Good luck to everyone. Keep on writing!

Made it yesterday during a write-in at Starbucks in Edinburgh - I still have a few thousand words to go until I can write 'The End' and then another few thousand to add in the middle to help explain something that happens near the end! But I seem to be getting faster and faster at writing as I get older, for some reason. Maybe I'm just rambling more...

Congratulations to everybody who's passed 50k and fingers crossed for everybody else! It's my first NaNo and I'm really excited to be part of such a positive project.

I made it by the end of week 2, so you can see that I've slowed down considerably even though I have a lot more story left to tell.

Congratulations. I am almost there and feeling good about it. ;-)

yeehaw to all who've crossed over!
and shreds of hope to those of us still plodding...

I haven't made it but I am on schedule (granted with no cushion). As this is the first time I have written fiction or anything of this length, I am pleased with how it is going thus far.

I just made it also! My novel is not yet finished and I still feel like writing.

I crossed the 50K line sometime during a Friday-Saturday All Night Write-in.

Sometime today I should finish sheet number four of a nine sheet Phase Outline. (I write on both sides of the paper, approximately twelve scenes per side.)

I'm hoping to hit 100K by the end of November, though it will be a push to do it.

With luck I'll finish in December.

Congratulations everyone who hit that 50K with days to go!

I'm right behind you and should be done by Wednesday. My novel will go beyond 50K but I plan on leaving it as a cliff hanger this time, none of that happily ever after stuff this time. Gives me plenty of stuff for a third book.

Congratulations to all of you who have made it. I had to take a couple of days off, but I hope to get over the line in a few days.

Just another one sliding into home.

Congrats to all that have made it so far, and good luck to those who haven't. We'll see ya soon!
