Alright! I am here. Just cracked the barrier moments ago. And I think I'm done for the night - no way I'm going to double my daily word count today. But hey, maybe I'll get to the will reading sometime in the next 10K. I can always hope, right?

I have faced the blank pages, and I have beaten 30,000 words into them.

Home run ( a few hours ago, but you can't use wifi at Opryland without paying).

I love the penguins!

Hooray! I'm here. Still feels kind of surreal, but good.

Since 30,000 is over half over it's time for me to start bending the arc to make sure I get to the end.

In the meantime, just plain old YAY!

Finally here... what a horrible week! 70+ hours at work, no time for the gym, and several nights of actually falling asleep over my keyboard, but I'm here. YAY!

Congrats to the rest of you 30kers, too! =)

A day late for pacing, a perpetual dollar short, but I'm here at 60%. Which, as my professors used to tell me (a little too consistently) is still a failing grade. Eesh. Onward!

It pleases me that so many NaNoites like to wade in the filth with me! The wrongness is slowly taking us over!

Oh yeah, 30K. I am amazed at the people who managed to get this far in 3 days. Then again, school and after-school stuff gets in the way. And having a life.

I remember when signatures used to like... mean something to me. LOL, life.

I did it. I actually did it.

I missed writing for two days (thank you, body) and sat down today just knowing I couldn't write a lick.

Four hours later I've popped out 5K words, and am thoroughly amazed.

Woo-hoo.

Just passed 30k tonight. A bit behind, but I find myself far more motivated to write when I'm behind in my word count than when I'm ahead, so maybe that's a good thing.

Yeah I know I'm like a week behind in hitting 30k, but I'm still excited! Only 7 or so sleepless nights to go and I still have 2/3 of a novel to write.

Go! Go! Go!
