NaNoWriMo Update — 50,000!

by John Hewitt on 11/28/2007

I’m not sure I would call it a novel yet. It seems more like a collection of random scenes, but nonetheless, I have hit my 50,000 work mark for NaNoWriMo! I officially have 50,049 words. I’ll discuss the experience more later, after I get some sleep.

cerebralmum November 28, 2007 at 3:56 am: So impressed! Let me be the first to congratulate you. I hope you decide to keep working with it and pull it all together. I’m looking forward to hearing more about the experience.
JoniB November 28, 2007 at 5:21 am: Wow! I’m very impressed. You worked HARD! I’m about 3,000 away and struggling – lots of late day/early evening meetings at work are draining me. (The constant drone of budget whiners has sucked creativity out of my bones.)

I agree with cerebralmum – Keep working on it!
Leah November 28, 2007 at 2:18 pm: Yay! Good job! No feeling better than that
John Hewitt November 28, 2007 at 2:34 pm: Thank you all. It was very satisfying to finish. I had convinced myself that it would take one more session, but I just kept pushing on as I found myself getting closer to the goal. Good luck getting those 3000 Joni! I’m sure you’ll have them soon.
Rosemary Nissen-Wade November 28, 2007 at 5:40 pm: Woo-hoo!
JoniB November 28, 2007 at 8:54 pm: 534 left to go. I can’t keep my eyes open anymore tonite. Tomorrow I’ll cross the finish line.
Naoko Kensaku November 29, 2007 at 12:57 am: I got here from a page that iGoogle added to my writing tabs, and I would like to say “CONGRATULATIONS! You made it through!”
JoniB November 29, 2007 at 5:04 am: Yay! 50,028! I woke up at 3:15 a.m. thinking about my novel and couldn’t get back to sleep. I did it!

Thanks for all your help, John! Your blog is fantastic and keeps me going with all your exercises and challenges.

Thank you!
John Hewitt November 29, 2007 at 8:36 am: Congratulations Joni!
Rosemary Nissen-Wade December 1, 2007 at 4:29 pm: Yes, good on you Joni!
