I just hit 50k and I'm still going strong! I'm halfway to my 100k goal and my story still wants to be told! YAY! My pacing sucks, my dialogue makes me cringe, I have either wordy, long-winded description or NO description, and did I mention my pacing sucks? BUT it's 50k words of above-mentioned suckage, and thus, I'm fit to be tied! My favorite part is actually the BAD GUYS, and that NEVER happens!
I mean, even my VILLAINS are actual characters, usually they're stick figures who say 'muahahaha' and now they've got this whole sub-plot thing going and I like THEIR romance better than my MC's romance! It's amazing!
I just have to remind myself, when I think about my pacing, dialogue, descriptions and most of the characters (villains excluded), that December is for fixing and I'm not allowed to hit my delete button until that time.

Geez, how do you manage hitting that much on the first WEEK of NaNo?! I'm a first-timer so it's no surprise that I'm not even at the halfway mark yet (But hope to get there by at least Tuesday!) I'm getting there.... slowly. lol. Well, congratulations!
I love my *villain*, MCs, and supporting characters.

Hit 50k about five minutes ago, so i think I'll stop for the night! I'm having fun, alhtough i can't say my villains are really shaping up evily. I only just figured out who my villain was and I certainly haven't met her, so I've got a ways to go. Anyway, what i found is it seems like this plot is going way too quickly, but i suppose thats because the past three days i've been putting in 10k so its just bang bang bang whos dead? and everyone looks cluelessly at one another. Ok i'm not exactly sure what that analagy's supposed to mean now tat i think on it. Please excuse me. My brain hurts.
