Yikes, it's the last day of NaNoWriMo! I currently have 12,000 words to write and luckily we have nothing going on today (other than the usual meals and school stuff). I'll try to update my word count throughout the day and hopefully tonight I'll have my nifty little "winner" icon to show you. My fingers are going to need some serious pampering later...
Edit at 10:45am: Woot! Broke the 40,000 barrier by 4 words so far. LOL One cup of tea down, working on a mug of hot chocolate. I picked a fine day to run out of Mountain Dew.
Edit at 12:30pm: 43,117 of 50,000. Ow, my fingers hurt. Taking a quick break for lunch (although Kyle and Kelly have already helped themselves to yogurt cups and bananas).
Edit at 2:30pm: Eek, that was kind of a long lunch break. And hmm, 29 additional words. What a time to hit a writing block. arrrgggghhh...
Edit at 3:30pm: Block, what block? Up to 45,322 now. Less than 5,000 words is so doable for me. The kids are home from school so another quick break and I hope to finish shortly after dinner. As for reading this crap, sorry it's not going to happen. I told Steph earlier over IM that I didn't even have a kissing scene until about word 41,000. And what good is a book without more of that? hehe Next year, I'm definitely picking a different (and easier!) genre.
Edit at 6pm: Did you know that Microsoft Word gives up trying to mark your spelling mistakes and grammar errors after 76 pages of them? hehe 48,034 words It's all downhill from here!
