Who's done?

So whose finally got to the glorious 50,000 words? :D

Yep! done on the 28th, more or less.

I'm finished with 50,000, but I have yet to finish my novel.

Done and done with first draft story. It's a YA sci fi satire, so I was expecting it to be short. Perfect for NaNo!

I've posted the first 10 pages on my novel info page:

Anyone else posting samples of their work? Send links!

Congrats all!

I got to 50K on Nov. 14. The novel needed more, though, so I've finished it at 85K, but I hurried through the last two chapters.

Did it. Exactly the 50k. Story line complete, some gaps to be in-filled, some rewriting and editing but delighted with what I've written. Dragons of Excalibur: Growing the Lore just might make it to publication!!!!

I have my story more or less told, but it didn't quite make it to 50,000 words.

I passed 50k on the last day, a few hours before the deadline, after being sick for a few days and not writing at all. It's very odd to realise that the largest story I've ever written isn't even done yet, there's still a ton more story to punch out.

Congratulations everyone!

My story is done and it's not as terrible as I thought it would be :). I'm still in shock that I actually made it to the 50K.

I let it sit for a couple of days, but I couldn't wait to start editing. I don't know what I'll do with it, but I would like to take the project to a completed state, just for my own satisfaction.

I am not a writer by profession. The only things I've published are technical papers. It surprised me how much I enjoyed the writing and how attached I became to my story and the characters. This has been a wonderful experience. I'm grateful to the nanowrimo folks for doing the event and all the participants on the forums. I didn't post much, but I read a lot and was inspired. :)

I still need some tweaks. I finished with a few days to spare, I did some editing last night. I had to rearrange chapters, because I wrote them when I got the idea for them. I cleaned up the typos, and for the characters that only had placeholder names, I gave them permanent names. I numbered all the chapters. I want to give each chapter a title too - in Don Quixote the chapters all have wordy titles, so I want to do that with my book.

But right now, I have my book loaded up on my Kindle, and I'm reading it. I find it easier to spot flaws when I read it that way as opposed to reading in an editor. I'll take notes and make another edit, and then it will be good enough to let a couple people read it. I may need to expand in places, and perhaps contract in places, but I'd have to say Don Quixote on Mars isn't looking too bad.

Hit 50k at 10:01 PM EST on the 30th. I did 15 thousand words in 18 hours. I was jazzed as heck to have pulled it off. :D

I finished mine just minutes before the deadline it was brutal :s But I was so relieved when I finally did, though now it's time for editing......

I finished on 11/28, even though I was behind the whole month. Let me tell you how good that made me feel...
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Yeah. That's me. ^^ right there. It was awesome.
