And it's a rather ugly spot instead of a bar. But it's still exciting that I have finished the challenge!
I hit the 50k mark tonight. And now I think I need to start studying for my exams.

Congratulations!
I wondered what the hell that spot was when I first saw it, but then I saw the number of words you had down.

Gah! I was hot on your heels today and then decided to stop and watch a couple of movies. Then next time I look you've bolted across the finish line!
Well done!
Now whose tally am I going to chase?.. *pouts*

Well, I am about twelve hours later than you but at last I've made it too!
YAY!!!!
Now can we slow down a little?....LOL

Congratulations, Red! And yes, I really agree about slowing down. Perhaps with this out of the way, I won't stay up until midnight anymore on days where I have a 7 o'clock start at work...

You know, your green stumps are inhumane and will most likely end up being the cause of many suicides... Well, maybe not, but that would be cool, right?
Anyway, congratulations now go away you weirdo's =P

You know, I was just thinking, and since it is late and I really really need sleep... This gives a whole new meaning to going green. I know, lame, but that was my first thought when I logged on just now.

I might go to sleep now :-)
I'm going green by the 19th! It's my goal!

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH!!
I'm gonna be lucky to make green this year. I think I'm suffering a case of sophomore smackdown... but darnit I will reach 50k!!

Thanks for the congratulations!
A few write-ins over the weekend, and you'll be fine getting the word count up. All is good!
Apparently the secnod year is meant to be more difficult than the first - I'm just happy I had better circumstances this year that allowed me to properly write.

I missed the green and went straight to purple dammit... I should have savoured the moment and made it linger...
Oh well. Yey for me. It be a lovely shade of purple now.

Sooooo close now. 700 words to go. :-) I think I could go green today.

I think you can do it! It is so close you can almost smell the grape purple-ness. (At least, that's what I'm imagining it would be if we had scratch and sniff computers)

I'm gonna take off my clothes and roll around on the green for a while first.

*hangs head and sniffs sadly*
I wish I had done that. Roll an extra little bit for me will you?

Ah, the green bar of happiness!
Tomorrow it will be the purple bar of smugness. :-)

Well done!
While I know hitting green is hard for all of us, I know you had some nasty computer issues mid-month, so go you for a terrific comeback!
So, are you ready to cross swords....errr.. keyboards again next year?
*grins*

I do my writing on my laptop, which was fine. It was the itchy allergic reaction that threw off my novelling concentration. I'll post my daily wordcounts in the Wordcount thread tomorrow. It's an epic tale of mighty conquest, then defeat, following by an incredible journey through good times and bad to a glorious yet thought provoking finish. Think Ben Hur meets Ulysses. And that's just the list of numbers.

You know, that sounds almost like a wine buff's description of a good wine.....:)
But then, I can see how there would be similarities ...;)
