Which means I've won nano while carrying a full courseload in Grad school, 40+ hours a week working, and RCIA courses.[/quote]

No worries, Meg. You've still written more in a month than a lot of people will write in their entire life, and you should be proud of that! :))

As for me, I am at 45,100 with several plot elements left to cover. If I want to wrap this baby up within the weekend, I'm going to need to switch gears and start writing the "big" picture. Wish me luck!

But we did it, Pic! We started it, so we are cool cats now :cool:

I don't know if I'll pull off 50,000. Stopping to do some much needed pre-winter chores about the vast Lounge Daddy Estate really tossed a wrench into the momentum.

Lesson learned: don't stop after starting, and keep at it every single day until the first draft is finished.
Thus, the other lesson learned: get the pre-winter chores done before NaNoWriMo, for goodness sakes. Gosh!

Right now I am at a bit more than 35,000 words. I'm actually going to seriously try to kick out 5,000 words a day. If I don't make the 50,000 mark, it should be close.

At any rate, I am going to finish the novel. This January I will be revising the finished first draft. :punk:

5,000 a day? Who am I kidding? I'm not going to make the 50,000 word mark. *sigh*

:) But I sure am going to try and get as close as I can.

Woo hoo!! Congrats guys!

I totally flubbed NaNo :weep:. But it's okay. Had I finished that novel, I could hardly have resisted foisting the dreadful monstrosity on people, so you may all rejoice. :banana:

(I was able to work out the important background issues I'd wanted to, so that's all good.)
