WINNER.

NaNo's off my plate. PHEW.

I should post a cute little worm. Okay:

52,296 / 50,000 (104.0%)

That word count is drastically inflated. I think I'm more like 50200 real words. Hey, I don't care. I'm sure about the important bit: it's over 50K.

Boy oh boy, is it crap. But I have a nifty little certificate in Acrobat format saying that it was fifty thousand plus words of crap.

With a lot of work, it could be enjoyable to read. That's more than I can say for my 2003 NaNovel. Improvement!

Food soon.

Hurrah, hurray, huzzah!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am SO glad to have that done. Next month I'll be proud of it; right now I'm immensely relieved that I can concentrate on the other two very large things I'm trying to do on a deadline. And on my job, yeah, that too. :-)

[lkeele.livejournal.com]

Ooo, what two very large things?

I'm proud of you, even if you aren't yet.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you!

Learning Japanese and writing all the choreo I'll need for the convention in Tokyo in a month.

Congratulations on finishing!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Right now I'm just relieved.

I'm thinking snow thoughts for you!

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

DAMN! you go girl! i'm quite impressed.

yay!!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm relieved. :-)

Okay, I've used them before, but nothing less will do!

Woo hoo, I got the conga rats!

[joedecker.livejournal.com]

yay!!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

thanks! :)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Yay, you!!!! (Way more exclamation points are warranted, but I didn't wanna go crazy.)

(I have sat myself down to write today and ended up with a net of about 200 words. You rock.)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Yeah, some writing days are like that. I had days where I netted something like 200 words. I've discovered doing NaNo when I'm busy is a lot harder than doing it when I'm not!

Yay!

Re: Yay!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Woohoo, my Crap Certificate! Thanks, Dan! :-)

Glad you liked it. :-) I couldn't resist flexing my l33t html ski11z.

Congratulations!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! What a relief.

[pixiecrinkle.livejournal.com]

Congrats!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so relieved it's done.

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

yay! congrats :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Wow am I ever relieved.

[abenn.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on finishing. Crap it may be, but at least it's finished crap!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Indeed it is! With lots of work, it could be something good, so I'm pleased about that. But mostly I'm just glad I don't have to look at it again until after the new year!

Wee!

[dobledorje.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

Re: Wee!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Your approach also seems quite sane. At this point (now that I've done it twice) I'm not sure what I'm proving to myself either.

Hooray! I had a Nanowrimo goal to finish last year's novel (which I wrote 50K words on but didn't finish the story), but I only wrote one word. Well, better luck to me next year :-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

One word! That sounds like something out of Hitchhiker's Guide. Was it a word you liked very much? :-)

[firecat]

No, I only did it so that I could force the file to generate a new wordcount!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Aw dang!

Yeah, better luck to you next year. I may use next November to flesh out and improve this year's, too. Unfinished work butters no parsnips, or whatever the phrase is.

[firecat]

There's always NaNoEdMo in March for me to look forward to...

[just-cyd.livejournal.com]

hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so glad you made it to the finish line!! *high fives*

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And congrats again to you, too!
