two edits to the above,
----------looks like I spelled her id wrong, that should read NyanNyan, and I think she hit the big 50K yesterday.

Wow! Congrats NyanNyan. That's awesome.

Thanks! Crossed it none to soon, too. I just hit a wall. Characters need to do something, but they don't know what. *sigh*

how about they have a party for no apparent reason (although their creator hitting 50K with almost half a month to go is a great reason), they imbibe way too much alcohol and frivolity and hilarity result.

I hit 50k on day 13. My gift to myself was a more active social life this week, so I've slowed down considerably since then. I'll no doubt make it to 60k by November 30th, but would like to expand the novel enough that it ends up around 75k.
Congratulations to the others who have earned the green bar, and good luck to the rest of you!

I hit 50k on Day 18. It's a real dog's breakfast of a novel, but I'm happy.

Done. Well, not done, but over the line.
Good luck to everyone else in the next 8 days!
