      <title>40k! :)</title>
      <description>Anyone near the final 10k stretch? :D 

My actual count is 41,414 but thought I'd post this for anyone that's hitting 40k. :D Hoping tomorrow is the day that I can get over the line, praying that the plot holds up and that there's no unforeseen circumstances. 

Keep going all. :D</description>

      <description>Currently at 38 159, I am going to cross the magic 40k line today. =)

Then, tomorrow ... I'll write the last 10k and just be happy. </description>

My goal is to finish the book this month, but I have a little over half left, unless I find I don't write as much as I thought. Still, feeling pretty good about finishing the book. I cannot wait!</description>

      <description>Just crossed the border into 40K. For me, that means I'm halfway done. (I'm aiming for 80K this year.) Good luck to everyone still fighting the good fight. I just hope I can keep up this pace all the way to the bittersweet end.</description>

      <title>Re: 40k! :)</title>
      <description>Yaaaaaaay! 40k in 14 days is a massive, massive effort for me, especially with full time work and the standard life commitments in the mix. I was aiming for 70k this month, but the story may not need it in the end - mostly I just really want to FINISH a first draft so I can do some edits in January. I am hoping this year will be the year! 

Anyway - huzzah for making it to 40k! Now, onward! 

(But not tonight. I am absolutely braindead.)</description>

      <description>I'm at 4lk as of last night, but am taking tonight off, other than reading some posts. This is my first NaNo and I was pretty nervous. The freedom to lock away my editor has really made a difference and the words flow much easier. I may not have 41k good words, but they're words and give me something to edit next month.

This is actually fun!</description>

      <description>And I'm past 40k! I'm so excited! Yay! :D

Although I feel like my story's barely begun, so I know I have a lot more to write. I just hope to finish it by this month. I hope I can continue writing and not just stop because I've reached 50k.</description>

      <description>Woohoo!   40033!  I think my brain just crapped out for the night, though, so that's definitely it for today.  I know I still have a lot more to go, but I'm hoping to get around 65-70k by the end of November and then just carry on the NaNo habits into December until done (I think around 90-100k, but I'm guessing right now, despite the outline that is more or less being followed).

This is my first NaNo, and I'm having so much fun.  I forgot how much I love to just write, and the freedom during NaNo to just get the first draft done, whatever state it might be in when I finish is amazing.  I might have to make a habit of this if it works out.

Okay, off to bed, let the brain try to rest and heal so I can get up, go to work, then come home and do it all again tomorrow.</description>

      <description>Just hit 46756.

I've completed NanoWrimo five times before now, each time doing a fraction over the daily wordcount and finally making the finish line with 2-3 days to go.

This year I'm smokin' it.

I might even aim for 100k, which would be a very nice achievement.</description>

But I haven't written the lead up to the climax, the climax, the denouement, and several other things I wanted to touch on.  This might be the first year I go significantly over 50k.  Then again, with all my other commitments, maybe not . . .</description>

      <description>Reached the 40 K mark today in the library. 
I can safely say I am actually enjoying it and will, in all probability go OVER the 50 K mark! I haven't even reached the epitome of the novel (I despise the word climax and refuse to use it). 
I have been hiding in my literary hole, trying to not get bogged down in the forums, so I thought I'd treat myself to a post :) 

Congrats to those that have reached it 
and Good Luck to those that haven't. </description>

      <description>Just reached 40k and closing day 16 with 40 827 words in total. My personal target is to hit 50k before the end of this week, so that means about 2,5k per day, which is not bad at all, especially 'cause we have no school on Friday.</description>

      <description>I hoped that I'd make it today and I just have.  Word count 40279.  The last 5K have been easier than from 25 - 30.  they were the hardest so far.   I can't believe that I might actually hit 50k by monday...</description>

      <description>Oh, I can feel ease of those last 10k already...  I see it, I see the end, I know what's going to happen, and how, and why...  Words are trying to get out of my head, I have a feeling this might be over faster than I expected.</description>

This is so early for me. Last year I was right on schedule. o_o </description>

      <description>And now we're here and in a very strange place...Sententia dear, you were supposed to be a short story.  Now you're already a novella.  How am I going to fit in the last short story without making this a 600 page book?  By (in december) cutting all that rubbish with you walking through the woods.  It's funny, really.  I thought this was the story with the least plot.</description>

      <description>Hit 40K just now, feeling very happy, but this story is nowhere near a climax or an end....in fact, I think I've only just completed act 1!

But still, 40K. I will definitely make the 50K by the end of the week, and that's good. </description>

      <description>40,016 words... Whew! Plot-wise I think I'm only about half-way done, which worries me some, because we're more than half-way through the month. But things are starting to roll again... and that's a wonderful feeling. I had gone back and written a bunch of scenes to go in the beginning, and that just made me feel like I was starting over from scratch. But I'm almost back to the parts that I wrote first... so I should be able to move on soon! Happy day. But now... it's DEFINITELY time for bed. I haven't been to bed before midnight all week... gotta get those words in, you know! ;-)</description>

I've been doing so well I'm actually tempted to up my goal to 75k by the end of the month. At least that way I'll be closer to finishing the actual story this month (most likely, at this rate, mid-December).</description>

      <description>I've hit 40K too!

Though at the rate I'm going on the current day of my novel, I may need to spend more time than I'd need to cross 50K to actually finish the novel. Welp.</description>

      <description>I made it! 10K to reach the main goal, 20K to reach my personal goal. 

Tomorrow, a little bit of time to assess and try to get my plot heading toward the ending... and another 2K! Tonight, a celebration.</description>

Now... to take the day off to muck around online and crochet.

      <description>80% of the way through to 50k and I'm hoping to make good by the end of the week.

Then it's the rest of the novel 85-90k by Christmas. 

Anyone know where I can get the equivalent of the Stat page after November is over?</description>

Who's behind the rumor mill? How to prove they're tried and true is the story of Casey Blue. 40,000 words have past, and 10,000 more won't be my last.  Who shot at them from the trees?

      <description>OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GONNA GET TO 40K.  For some reason, everything since about 32K has been an uphill battle.  But I'm here!  Waaaaay behind target for where I personally wanted to be at this time of the month, but I can't complain.  I'm staying afloat. @_@</description>

      <description>Forced myself to write the 300 words, then the 30 words, that would put me over 40k. Yay! This is going a lot better than I'd hoped.</description>

      <description>I made it at about 15 minutes past midnight.  So now I am finally caught up!

When I sat down to write at 10 PM, I was 3000 words behind.  I don't think I've ever written this much in a single stretch.

Whew.</description>

I would be able to write more today if I wanted to but I have other things to do, even though I am a bit late. I think of having a supe-hyper-writing-weekend so that I could finish my novel before Monday... I could relax for the last days of November.</description>

      <title>Re: 40k! :)</title>
      <description>I was out of town for a wedding and family visits Friday-Monday of this past week.  Between that and Thanksgiving, I got pretty behind, even though I had built up a bit of a buffer in anticipation of all that.  But!  I've been working hard all week and now I've finally hit 40k today!  

Although I'm technically still one day behind, and I'll lose a day Sunday to driving home, I'm not worried at all.  After all this, the last 10k seems like nothing!  

I've attempted NaNo two years before this, and I don't think I broke 15k for either attempt, so this is an amazing feeling for me!  I definitely feel like at this point, after having come so far, there is no way I can lose.  It sort of feels like I've already won!  Hooray!</description>

      <description>Yeah, I hit 40K!  I technically hit it before the clock turned over to today, but I wanted to get as many words in before midnight as I could. So I had about 200 to spare when the date turned over.  I'm a day behind at this point, but I'm doing pretty well, considering.  Just gotta celebrate the 40K mark!</description>

home.

I wrote almost 9,000 words between yesterday and today in order to get to this point, so I'm very hopeful that I can accomplish something similar in the next couple of days -- it certainly would help to have some cushion.</description>

I've signed up many times, but only really tried twice -- last year, and this. Last year I only managed to squeeze out 600 words. This has been a huge growth experience!</description>

Now, I have just over 3K to go until I'm caught up, and can relax.  This is where the magic happens...</description>

      <description>After a 13K Sunday, I am now at 40K. Sitting with 15K over Thanksgiving, I definitely exceeded my own expectations. And I just did a happy dance, and for someone who prides themselves on being a manly man who only does such things when his sports teams win, that is significant.</description>

My characters have been moping around and doing nothing for about 5,000 words, but hopefully the next 10k will be exciting and, of course, winning.

      <title>Re: 40k! :)</title>
      <description>I've written an additional 1000 words so far today (here on the West Coast of US, so lots of time before this day is over) and I think I'm going to win.

It's amazing.  The first time I've ever tried anything like this and I'm 54.  And I've been the muse for my husband who's about 10K into a short story (perhaps it'll be a novel, too . . .).

It's literally been decades since I've attempted fiction writing and even though this has been a tough month, it's been incredibly rewarding.  So with about 9K to go and 3 days to do it in, I better get back to it.

Thank you, Nanowrimo and all the good and courageous people out there doing this.  I'm honored to be in the company, truly.

I got to 40 k, but so tired...

      <description>40K! Finally! And yet I'm still far from done. I still need to get at least to 46K to get my 10K minimum for today's session, and I may want to sacrifice some sleep in order to get the win.

Next: dinner. And then watch out 41K!</description>
