I forgot to post when I got there...but give a shout when you hit 25k words so we can toss gratuitous "for he/she is a jolly good fellow" at you...you're only halfway....that's half the story done, halway to victory, halfway through the pain....all you need to do is what you've done up to this point and you'll be a winner.

Well done guys.

I made it halfway! YAY!
Now only another 25 000 to go... or however long it takes to finish this book.

Oi.

Argh! You're all passing me! I didn't write this weekend - decided to do the Big Walk in the pouring rain instead.

I'll catch you, even if it means no sleep tonight!

Eish! Just when I've reached the point where all my characters are irritating me to death, you want me to produce words at war!

It's as good a time as any, I suppose.

Bring it on.

I hit halfway on Saturday. Hoped to make it to 30k by the end of the weekend, but I've fallen a little short.

I was a day behind hitting the half-way mark (I had to work and ran out of time). It was sad as I really wanted to make it on time. I'm there now but it's not the same. Oh well.

Woohoo me!?

Now that I am half way, the entire project is starting to look daunting. I hope I can make it all the way.
