    I just reached the 65,000 mark. I thought that I would post at the 50,000 mark, but found myself to irritated with the characters, so I had to keep pressing on. I've been away from writing my NaNo novel since last weekend and decided to blow it out of the water and prove to myself that I could write it all out. Didn't think it would take me a day and a half. Ha.

    Now, to continue writing!

    Nice. I'm within 5,000-8,000 words of the end of the novel at 69k+. Starting to slow down some and lose motivation but it's almost done.

    Going to finish the novel today. Just have the closing chapter and the epilogue to do, and it's a wrap. Will finish the NaSoAlMo album Friday, just have to do the final mix on three of the tracks. Plus this is my fifth day without a cigarette, after 35 years of smoking. Yay me

    Ah. Well.... I am sad to announce that I won't be finishing NaNo this year. And although I'm a bit sad I'm also a bit proud that I wrote as much as I did on my first try. I know that next year will definitely be a success since I won't have a boyfriend leaving to South Korea, etc. Man, it was a lot of fun though. I've had a really great time and I'm so excited to see what everyone has written and to continue writing the story I have started. Congratulations to everyone who has finished and hurrah for everyone who didn't! It's a journey anyhow.

    And you know, I've learned something today. Sometimes it's okay to say "I can't do it all" and to still feel good about the path traveled. It's also a good place to cheer on others who are still struggling to make it. 'Cause isn't that what NaNo is all about?

    Cheers, all. Cheers.

    Raging - I'm in the same boat, almost (without the boyfriend going away part).

    I myself have reached about 39,000 and have no chance of making the 50,000 by the end of the month but I will continue writing a little more everyday until I finish the novel. Next year I will win!! I'm really pleased with what I've done so far because it's more than I have ever written for one piece.

    Congratulations everyone for taking part!

    With a final push over the weekend, I finished at 55,615. I know when I go back to it, I'll only have probably half that worth working with. Still, not a bad start to work with later.

    Our son and daughter also finished in the NaNo Young Writers Program. Our son, ten years old, set his word count goal at 500 and hit it. Our daughter, twelve years old, set hers at 5,000 words and she just finished it up to win too.

    So four of the five of us in the house accomplished it. Now we're just waiting for our six year old to join in a few years and it will be an entire family affair.

    I've been doing NaNoWriMo for eight years now, and I've won each year. This time I finished with 50,134 words, a far cry from the number of words that I wanted to write... about 120,000, maybe more.
