Check the word count, y0!

Don't think I'm stopping, though. My novel's not done yet - I think I can easily milk out another few thousand words to get to the actual climax and resolution.

So, when you all cross that magic line, reply so your fellow WriMos can see the winners' circle growing.

I'm no where near the end either, but the bones are in place and I'm happy about that. Now it's time to go back and connect all the dots.

Congrats on your winner status.

I'm there! I wrote more than 16000 words in the last four days. Who needs a damn turkey!

I'm not done, either. For one thing, the writing sucks! It's a first draft and so I expected it to suck. But I'm also not done with the first draft, but am perhaps, 3/4 of the way through. Come January I expect to be starting my first rewrite.

I'm really glad NaNo came along when it did. It was a great push, a great chance to focus myself and get a huge chunk of the writing done.

I had a write in with Starinyte, and we both reached the 50k mark! I'm not quite done with the story yet, but it's coming.

I made it! :) No where near done with the story, though. I actually think I've got another 50k in me before I'm done.

Welcome to my first four years of NaNo, before I learned to write stories that were only 50,000 words long, instead of 110,000 words...

Holy crap, I actually pulled it off this year! I guess the third time's the charm. Crossed the finish line around 6pm yesterday and enjoyed a night off. :)

Many congratulations to everyone who finished, and to everyone who gave it the ol' college try, too.

Now I just have to go back and edit, add and revise to make it a bit more coherent. Anyone have any big plans for their novels?

I finished last night, 11:10pm, says the screen print when I slid into finish. WHEW!

As for what people are doing with their novels ... I was one of the sponsored authors (you could get people to sponsor you to raise money for Office of Letters and Light), so I'll be doing (very light) editing and then sending it to Lulu Press (an on-demand publisher who publishes for very little ...check out their site) for copies made and then sending them out to my sponsors. :) Other than that, I am done with this novel. :)

Huge congrats to everyone! Hope to see you Sunday!
