8000 words was all I could do this month. Really, I wonder how all you guys could do 50k so easily, in the midst of life and all that.

Fuck yeah. I've got this in the bag, folks.

Because I have some fairly huge essays to do on returning to school, so I worked even harder during my Thanksgiving break to make up for it.

Also Trance whoa.

Trance, you scare me a little. In a good way.

Grats

The thrill of being able to do that much in just a few days is kind of a thing, really. It's pretty satisfying.

Thanks!

Congrats to both of you for hitting 50k, and congrats to anybody else who's reaching their goal for this month.

I always miss this, this year and last.
congrats to both of you.

Two full days remaining, today and tomorrow. I hope at least one more person here makes it. A quick glance at the writing buddies tells me that Prody is close.

Finally done with this thing. It feels kind of cheating because my novel is basically three stories side by side with no relation at all, with 2 just being the same journal style I used for last year. It helps to add words, but it doesn't seem like a story I can show off, at all.

Grats, Prody!

All right, the specific amount of hours left depends on your time zone, but everyone should be finishing up today. Those of you living in the States have anywhere from six to nine hours left before deadline. Best of luck to anyone who's still going!

NaNoWriMo is over everywhere now, looks like. Thank you for everyone who participated, and congratulations to everyone who made it.

Bonus, for those of you who had trouble making it to 50k, you wouldn't have had a problem if you had made your protagonist read Don Quixote aloud starting on page 39.

Still, I'm quite curious about a novel titled "wikipedia" and at the same time holding the genre "erotic fiction"...

Forget NaNoWriMo, you're ready to make the New York Times bestseller list with that thinking

About 10~20k words of my story are sex scenes I think. I could be exaggerating that figure though!

Hmm...I need to remember that if I attempt it again. Cause when I actually thought I could do it, I chucked random bandits at them or had the big lass pick a fight with the fairy queen.
