According to my spreadsheet I wrote 3485 words today, made it to 2\46,548 ... but not 50K before midnight. I tried, I really did... but I could only make 50 K with a trick ti add fake latin words by the ton to reach the 50 K... and such a cheat would be beneath me, and my cat would deserve better.

I will try to finish it Saturday, what Llakor once called "the forgotten 31st day of November", but I won't make it to 5 tries, 5 wins. I'll keep my integrity though.

I could taste the cigar as I pasted in the story to the word counters. MS said I had 50065 words, but I came up short by 13 when I submitted it to the counters. I'm going to cry now.

We can make our own club, the "Thought I could make it" club, for the writers who failed where the little engine succeeded... :(

Far as I'm concerned, both of you made it.

Well, you made it as far as you did at least! Congrats to you both :)
