NaNo Day 20 (51,844) ... WOOT!!

[texchan]

WOOT!! NaNo is DONE! *falls over DED*

And, even better, my book is actually done, too. I had hoped I could finish up the whole thing within the 50K words -- or close to it. And I had also hoped to finish it up during November. Just so I could say it was "done", you know? I still haven't finished my NaNo project from last year, and I did not want another uncompleted task hanging over my head.

Needless to say, I am thrilled -- and actually totally shocked -- that I wrapped the book up just now. Which means I have now officially written two books. zOMG -- I can't freaking believe that! O_O

(Now if I could only get off my lazy duff and actually edit the first one! >.O)

Progress meter thingy:

Heh, heh. I guess that is the "EXTREMELY Happy Balloon". (eep! o_o) *snickers*

Thanks! *GLOMS*

I think getting a lot of extra progress in early in the month was the only thing that let me finish. By the time the distractions really started to hit, I was already at the point where I had done so much work, so I think it encouraged me to keep on going. Otherwise, it would have been a lot easier to drop the whole thing.

With that said, I was really worried about (and not expecting to) finish this year. I was in a terrible funk when I started this thing -- and had been for several months. Plus, last year I finished before my parents arrived for their visit. I did not expect to get much writing time in after they came, as they are not usually understanding of my need to sit alone and work. It was a bit better this year, for some reason, so that was a relief. =)
