This is my NANOWRIMO winner’s certificate. I get this and the satisfaction of knowing I’ve written over 50,000 words in less than a month!

I’ll be printing it out soon and writing my name on it in BIG FAT LETTERS!

I’m about 139 words over 50,000! I’m so happy… and tired. lol Of course, the book is not finished. I’m looking at two or more chapters to wrap it all up, but NANOWRIMO is done!

I DID IT!

Hooray! There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s not attached to a train! Of course, reaching 50,000 words is an accomplishment, but unfortunately, that will not mean the end of the novel… so it will probably take me a little while to wrap it up.

I hope to finish tomorrow night!

I have written 9118 words in the last 36 hours, bringing my grand total to 36,165. I should be finished, I hope, by next weekend. This is the home stretch, the part where I search my brain for ways to start wrapping this thing up. Yeah, the hardest part. ha ha

This is a big transition week for me. I leave one job. I am jobless for four days. I start a new job. I will be so ready for Thanksgiving and a long weekend!

As of this moment, I’m halfway through! I am just over 25,000 words in just twelve days! I do know of at least one person who was almost to 50,000 this weekend, which I can’t even imagine.

I’m putting my tired brain to bed.

That is all. 🙂

Eleven days in, I’m sitting at right under 23,000 words, which means I should pass the halfway mark tomorrow. Not bad.

I’m on pace to finish the weekend of Thanksgiving, which is good. This gives me a little breathing room, should I need to take a night off. Considering I there wasn’t one night last week where I was in bed before midnight, I may need to do that. I also have jury duty Thursday (ugh).

The book is flowing, which is good. So far, the well has not run dry and I’m grateful. I finished writing earlier today, so I can relax and hopefully go to bed at a decent hour…

I’m over 10,000 words five days in. Tonight I’ll add more. Totally ahead of schedule! So far, the story is flowing, though tonight, my brain is completely fatigued. I have to remind myself this is the rough draft…

I just finished my first night of NANOWRIMO. I wrote 1875 words, over 200 over the minimum daily required to finish in 30 days. That’s a good start!

It’s pouring out so far, but it’s very raw. I’ve been dreaming and breathing this story for weeks now. Maybe in December, when this is over, I can get a good night’s sleep again.

I’m trying to find the NANOWRIMO counter to put on my template. Hopefully I’ll find it soon. I’m ready for a nap.

27 hours and counting… should work on my outline… I will start writing Thursday when I get home from work!
