I'm freaking out a bit because I'm got just under 5,000 words to write before midnight (that'd be in about 5 hours). I've written 3,000 in the last 2 hours, so I know it's possible - and I've completed NaNo twice before - but still, I need some encouragement! How about the rest of you? Any other stragglers, or am I on my own in this last minute rush?

Go darkgirl!!
Just write. Write whatever comes to you, and weave it into your story. You never know what will come of these streams of ideas. Remember, no one's readin' it but you at this point!!

Thanks, CCCG! And congratulations on reaching the magical mark yourself!
Now, it may seem like I'm slacking by reading the boards, but in fact I just wrote another 1,000 words in the last half hour. Less than 4K to go now!

Personally I spent my nano writing time alternating between eating Halloween candy and checking out fun stuff on the internet. Oh yeah, and writing. But I'm going to shut up now, unless you need more encouragement.

I'm good for now, thanks. Maybe I'll need another kick in the behind in another hour or so? :P

I'm not a straggler this year, but I've been there before.
You can do it! Keep going. It's amazing how fast you can write when you just let your hands do the typing.

I did it! And with 2.25 hours to spare, too!
