48794...! * Emerges from pile of words gasping for breath* *Wonders if she will finish tonight*

Ok, forget that about wondering....



50K!

Congratulations, Azlyn!

Thanks, Jonathan! *Can't resist posting on here one last time even though it is nearly 2 am*

NaNo liked my word count, apparently. It found a way to turn 50092 on gdocs into 63k on NaNo site! Not that I'm complaining.

That's quite the word count difference. At least it was in a good way.

Yay Azzy!!!

Good job, Azlyn!

I know! I have no idea why it did that. Although in a bad way word count change would have been far worse.

Thanks, Arien and Jo!

Wow! There's something wrong with your current word counter.

About 7K to go. *staggers a little and retreats to doc* 'Course, it stinks that I don't have my doc on my new laptop.

Mae! My dear Mae! I am so THRILLED for you! And you actually did well over, thanks to that word count difference. CUPCAKES!

*Gobbles cupcakes* It might just be the NaNo counter that is wrong. I know some word counters count every " like at the beginning of a speech as a word, so maybe the nano counter is doing that? Oh well.

Woohoo! Congratulations, Zlynny!

*throws confetti*

Congatulations, Azlyn!

I'm done too. I actually got my 20 000 out of this story, and I stil have probably 1500 words to go in order to actually finish the story. But now I have these two extra characters... I'll edit this up in order to fit everything together, I guess. But I made it! I didn't think I would...

Peoples, don't worry if the Nano counter disagrees. I re-vaidated my novel, and it said I had 49K. So I cheated a little and pasted the last chapter again, since I know I have the right WC, even if NaNo is confused. So now it's at 53k, a little bit close to what I actually have.

Congrats, Aldara! You can finish that last 1.5k and be done with your novel!

I have officially won with a validated word count of 50620! Praise God for a wonderful month of challenges! Now to set a goal to actually finish the book...

Congratulations, Aldara! And Phili!

*hands out muffins*

Congratulations! And yes, now you must finish it.

Must. . . finish. . . Nano.

I have 4000 words left to do! I will do it!!!

Congratulations, finishers!!! I'm so proud of all of you! I know how hard it is, and that is a real accomplishment!

Yes, Elly little sis! You must finish! And I must too!

*goes to write*

YES!!! GO! WRITE!!!!!

Let's just put it this way... if you don't finish, Leah/Del will NOT be happy.

Thank you, Jonathan! Yes, I must... but I'm allowing myself to take at least this week off from it, if I feel like it.

Awesome, guys! You're almost there! Keep it up!



I think that's reasonable.

*giggles at the name on the quote*

And I'm done! I finished Nano last night and I finished the story this afternoon. I still have parts of stories missing that a skipped, but they can worry themselves over that later. For now I'm just going to celebrate!!!

Yay!!! KATIE!! YOU ARE AWESOME! *showers Katie with cookies*

When will it be in my inbox?

About 2800 left...

Congratulations, Vanya!!

Heh.

When I'm ready to throw CoL so far away I'll never remember it exists and am altogether ready to give up on the world of publishing, then you can start looking for traces of it.

I finished a day early by writing 7k yesterday! I just forgot to come say so here

I wonneth!
Congratulations! I bet you're all looking forward to next year. Right?

Awesome, every one of you!!!!!

* penguins bring in punch and cookies for everyone *

I already told you this in chat, Elly, but I'll say it here too.

Congratulations, and great work!!

Yes, I'm looking forward to next year.

*hugs Elly tight* I knew you could! Have a few cupcakes.

There's so much to do between now and November that I can't even think of NaNo. I'd kinda like to self-publish three more books by that time...

Wow! Lots of people finished NaNo. Congratulations!


Three?

Congratulations, Elly!

Well done to all you guys who put so much work in. *Applauds*

I'm about to make last, desperate, bullet-riddled, grenade-clutching, last-magazine attempt. Or as my brother put it, a last stand.

It's the first of December here now.

I hope you succeed, Varon.

Thanks.

Go, Varon! *cheers from the finish line*

1704 words down...

YAY, ZOLLYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! *throws glitter and brownies all over Zolly* You did it! I'm so proud of you!

I have done it with 180 words extra!



It's a quote from Invictus, which describes me perfectly at the moment, since I wrote over 5k today, which more than 1/3 of my total word count goal.

Congratulations, Varon!

Told you you could do it! *cheers*

Thank you.

I just wish I'd gotten farther than kicking off the real conflict .

Congratulations to all the winners!
God bless,
Joel ><>.

Woohoo, Varon!

Kinda vanished from these threads over November....
Yay for all you winners! I've been watching some of your announcements on twitter or chat. Great going!

Anyways, if you're wondering what became of me, I stopped on November 29 with 30k. I can NOT do two 10k days back to back.But since I'm young enough, I went on my old YWP account, set a goal of 30k, and validated. So I get the kiddie's prizes.

However, in December, I am doing National Novel Finishing Month. More info in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=34&t=5025

Yeah, three. I'd kinda like to publish something in the spring if it's ready (probably Peter's Angel), and then the informal release date for Faded is in June, and then if I go ahead with a Red Rain sequel I was thinking it might be nice to release it in September, about a year from the first book... So, yeah. I have plans. Still working out the logistics, but it's a possibility.

VARON! I am so thrilled and DELIGHTED! You know how I love your writing, so I'm overjoyed with the fact that you wrote so much. But even more so, I'm so happy that you pushed yourself and succeeded powerfully. HOORAY!

Congratulations, Varon! We knew you could do it all along!
