I just barely crossed over the halfway mark -- woohoo! Come on peeps -- don't leave me in here by myself! And even if you are no where near the halfway mark, keep going! You are only truly defeated if you give up. But if you keep getting back up, if you keep going back to it, if you keep making the effort, however feeble it may seem, you WILL get there! Don't worry about things making perfect coherent sense. December and January are for figuring all of that out. November is for writing. So, anyone else out there able to enter this virtual hall of halfway fame?

That's it, that's it! I cannot stand it anymore. I'm in the middle of moving my life to another state, but I HAVE to participate in Nanowrimo. I'll never make it to 50k. Heck, I doubt I'll make it to 5k, but I'm writing. And I'm writing just for the pure joy bringing life to my characters and their situation.
Doubt I'll make the write-in's though ;o)

Woot! Happy dance! Happy dance! I made 25K! And before the 15th, too!
Really got rolling on my story today after a couple of days slogging through a rescue scene. Man, was that hard, and usually rescues flow easily. But now I'm back with my OC and showing the family interactions is so much fun!
Glad to be in Halfway Hall! Now onwards and upwards!

I'm just hoping at some point, I figure out what on earth I'm doing. I may be half-way, but it seems like it'll take me at least 70,000 to get this sucker wrapped up.

I just passed the mid way line.
If nobody objects I may show up at the get together tonight with my son. (kids allowed?)

Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not fergit
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to.
