Just now, I reached over 50K... I've been writing like mad, really, like mad... I've been writing 5000 words a day, and just now I have been writing for 6 hours straight. Mental, I know. Though 'straight' is maybe the wrong word, I have been on forums as well....

The story is not finished yet, it needs at least 20K more, but then, I've got lots more days in the month left to do that...

But I think I will take tomorrow off.............

That's absolutely fantastic!!!! When I saw the 'I did it' I thought you were going to say you'd hit a big mile stone, so I'm totally shocked! Congratulations!

Wow! Congratulations! That must feel great.

I'm really behind--it's gonna take a lot of work to finish on time.

I did it too! I think my story needs another 5k or so, but it feels so good to have that green bar!

Turned out the story did not need that much anyway. Just now I actually finished the story, which is a first for me here on Nanowrimo. Woohooo! So proud of myself!!

Reckon mine needs about another 50K words and a complete rewrite in most places, but hey, that's NaNoWriMo, yes? :-) Got a lot of new material out of it, at the very least.

Thanks for the meetup, Hayley and all - see ya next year? - and congrats to all.
