I was so determined to reach 50K by the 25th this year so I can get my purple bar early. There's still a chance, but not a big one. Well done to everyone already ready to receive it!

I won't have mine on the 25th this year - the first time that's happened! But it's so nice seeing them. I always forget, then I'll be browsing around on the 24th and suddenly somebody in Australia or New Zealand will be showing one and I'll be thinking, "so am I going to stay up until midnight?" Not this year though.

Hmm, I wonder if I can find that "Ode to the purple bar" I wrote once.

I'm excited! But since I'm not done with the novel yet, I'm wondering if I should hold off validating until it's done. I'll see if I can resist.

I'm definitely excited. This is my first NaNo, and I'm gonna see purple! For the time being, green is my favorite color, but I'm going to be fickle and then I'm going to have it change to purple. :P

I can't wait for my purple bar. Then I'll feel like I can move on to other non-NaNo writing projects. Not to mention, it'll be a real accomplishment because this year I actually somewhat like my novel. It will not stay in this form, of course, but half of it (or more) is usable.

It depends on just how crazy I go over the next couple of days. At my current mindset, it's definitely possible. I'll try, probably fail. So much novel left to write >_<...I mean...^_^ fun!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

What a coincidence! This is the first I'm hearing about the purple bar, yet the 25th is exactly the day on which I want to reach 50k. (Well, if not a day earlier, as in today.)

I'm moderately excited for the purple bar because my house internet's down and I have to enter the library to validate.

And if I can't, then no official winner badge. Tomorrow, just get here already~

Just means we get to visit the winner's page twice, and feel the happy glow all over again, once it's updated with 2009 stuff ;)

YAY Natnie!

Quick question! When you validate, can you keep adding to your word count?

Of course! :) I don't recall if you can re-validate again (but I'm sure you can), but I know that you can definitely keep adding to your word count until November is over. :)

Our Aussie friends are talking about purple bars, but I don't see them. :( Guess I have to wait until midnight, when I'll be validating my own novel. The day is almost here! :D

You can validate as many times as you like, and you can keep manually updating your word count right up until November 30: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/faq#node-402942

The purple bar seems to have been scared off by our excitement. Hold tight guys, and don't fear! Tech guys will get them back for us soon :)

I'm so excited for my purple bar. It's my first NaNo and I finished, and I even finished early. I have a few 1000 words left of story, but I should be totally and completely finished by tonight so I can be finished when I go purple. Is it weird that I miss NaNo already and it's not even over yet?
