Have an accomplishment you feel particularly proud of? Excited to reach word count for day one (or even day thirty?) Then post all about those accomplishments here. They can be anything, big or small. Celebrate and cheer yourself and your other Wrimos along to the finish line.

I've got an accomplishment I feel particularly proud of! And it's not even NaNo, yet! But this is just so great I have to tell everybody.

On Wednesday, September 30th, 2009, after 11 years of trying and on my third attempt, I finally passed my driving test and recieved my driver's license.

Just had to brag.

Oh, and sorry about shortening the subject line. It wouldn't let me post with anything longer than 64 characters!

I just need to make up my mind if I'm using one world or not and what I'm going to do with it or its replacement and and and then replay some games for character study and oh my god I have never been so prepared before. I AM SO EXCITED.

I got better at playing Texas Hold'em. Now I only lose most of the time - rather than all the time!

I actually finished washing the dishes - once.

I slept 12 hours last night.

I am pathetic. Hear me......no my head hurts too much to roar...... cheer softly. yaaaay!

If I meet my goal of 1667 today, I'll break over 13,000 words. It took almost three months to write that many on my last novel. And someone said the second one was harder. *ppppffffffftttttt*

I am immensely jealous your second one has not been harder. My second novel was awful. I tried to write a romance novel and discovered that I can't write romance novels, but I did get to the end of that terrible monster, so that counts for something.

Fantastic job on word count! Can you feel your fingers?

Crossed into the realm of 30k at the Write In today. There were only three of us present at Rendezvous, but we didn't let that stop us!

Now I'm off to work. Ugh.
