EDIT!: 3:35 pm

Went back to the epilogue and added that last tidbit that I was too giddy to write this morning. C’est finis!

It’s all about the rewrite now.
and for the record – 50,395 words, printed out at 1.5 spacing, Tahoma font, size 11, equals ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN FREAKING PAGES!!!!

Most I’ve EVER written before? 8 pages.
kinda raised the bar for myself THERE didn’t I? *LMAO*

Still giddy, still on caffiene high, got a couple hour nap, gonna crash hard at some point tonight I’m sure.

LONG LIVE NANO!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the exact post I posted at nanowrimo just a bit ago….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did NOT plan on an all nighter tonight.

I only wanted 1500 words tonight. That’s it. No more no less.

I was at 41,138. I’d started writing, was going rather slowly, just kind puttering along, and was at 42,725.

My buddy says “I need a push! let’s rush to 5000 words!” This bastard knows I couldn’t resist that! (love the guy, i do! *L*) So I say ok! we start this mad dash througb wordcount, peppered with hysterical laughter, mutual potty breaks, massive plot twists (on HIS end. One word. INNABISH! (you’d have to be there. hehehe oh and HOMICIDAL LIGHTENING!) Mine remaind as planned..) and more coke then one should drink in a 3 hour period of time – some of it occasionally spit all over the keyboard in another laughing fit.

we! were freaking delierious!!!

But I won. *smug*

he says “no! lets go for 1000 more! really! you’re so close!”

I say ok.

I win AGAIN.

I slow down and go back and do some rewriting and adding some stuff I missed in the mad dash to beat him. (TWICE! did I mention I beat him TWICE? Barely, that second time, but I still won!) and solve a pesky little scandal problem.

I word count.

*points to lovely green bar*

BOOOOOOOOOOOOF***INGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

*giddy*

to think I didn’t do this last year because I didn’t think I possibly had that many words in me. HAHAHAHAHHAAHA.

IT EVEN HAS A PLOT! *giddy! freaking GIDDY I tell you!*

It… makes SENSE.

I’ve already done some updating so not much will need rewritten.

I”M SO BLOODY HAPPY!

(I ain’t ever coming down off this high people, so gonna close now. *L* just one more, that’s it, I promise….)

BOOOOOYYYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

    Congratulations! That’s fantastic and I am truly in awe of anyone who completes this challenge. I don’t think that I could ever do anything like it.

    Needless to say.. I hate you.

    *sniffles*

    Though I do need to get your pressie done for winning the race to 6000 (5000 + 1000) *L*

    In December though… like December 28… *LOL*

    Congratulations! πŸ™‚

    I admire everyone who enters this contest, even with nothing more than the mere intention of TRYING to write 50,000 words in a month. I could never do it. Kudos to you. πŸ™‚
