So how is everyone doing? Still feeling positive? Starting to get the post-honeymoon period blues?

Personally, I have wrist ache and slightly daunted by only having 12 days left (DON'T PANIC! That's my own target as I'm going away that weekend and very busy the last week)

I've been at word wars with Prosody this afternoon and that really helped. Not competitive, honest. Well, nowhere near as competitive as certain people in the Nottingham lot anyway ;)

Right, a confession from me. I really didn't expect to get this far. I thought with all I have to do this month, I'd end it pretty early on and just concentrate on cheering on you guys. So, I'm quite chuffed with myself. Because even IF I get to 25,000 tomorrow and that's it, something serious crops up. I have some words. I do intend to keep working on this novel after November and getting some of it, no matter how much or how little, is fantastic. so, yes, my wrists hurt, I am exhausted after all the running about after men and children and writing, but I am content. Nay, I am happy.

Even better, if everything else goes to plan over the next 12 days for me, I get to print off my certificate in December. It's a win/win situation. Sweet!

Well, I'm done.
-nodnod-
So no blues for me.
I get to do happy dances and party my head off now.. pfft I wish.
My neck hurts, so there'll be non of that.

Just can't wait to tell people, I'm well pleased with myself. I didn't think I'd make it to 50, last year I only just scrapped it on the last night; somehow.
But now I'm all good, I can sit back, edit. Write a bit more untill i'm 100% happy.
^^

Really? You''re going to try to beat her word count by the end of the month? Mhmm *decides Nixtress is scary after all*. What did she get last year? Over 100k wasn't it?
