50k and then some. I felt like a slacker yesterday, and didn't get a lot done compared to most of the run so far, but hoping to hit 100k before Monday.

Slacker. Yes. Pick up the pace, you lazy writer, you.

Sarcasm? Jealousy? Me? NOOOOOOOO.

Haha but keep it up, we need someone to beat Maryland's cheater.

Woohoo! I'm over and past 50,000, but nowhere near the end of this particular story :)

Next week, I have doctor's appointments, homework due, and three massive multiple choice test that are supposed to prove I'm smart enough to become a teacher when I graduate next June. Hopefully I can get to 85K by the end of tomorrow to bulk up for the rest of the week. Crossing my fingers!

:)

Since the people last night were poking me about winning for the third time, as I was struggling towards 150k, duly posting. Won x3, and forging onward.

I finished on Wednesday the 18th, but I still have a ways to go. Yay for all of us!

I'm glad Maryland isn't here in our forums heckling us like last year. That was decidedly unpleasant.

I'm at 49,880. I'm pretty much a shoe in at this point. I could write, thank you very much the end kay thanks bye and that would do it! I'm in the same boat as many other early finishers, still another 20k to go before the story is over...

Go! Write! Win!

I DID IT! Victory #3 for me and for the first time I'm actually close to the end of the story too! Just a little under 5k should do it which is great since I need to edit to for a Christmas present for someone <3 'Grats to everyone who made it and keep trucking those who have yet to taste victory!
