NaNoWriMo 2009 Winner!
A major push today at the Tattered Cover write-in, and here I am at 50,070 words. Woot!
Many thanks to Margie, who made it all possible by letting me do it and putting up with me in the process.
Thanks to Suzanne, one of the write-in buddies, for taking the picture here.
Thanks to the NaNo staff and Denver support team for holding these Write-Ins.
Thanks to Doyce for all his advice posts (which I’ve been woefully poor about posting about).
Thanks to Kitten for being a trooper today and finding some way to entertain herself while I was NaNoing. We’ll catch up on your story tonight, Kitten!
My novel is, of course, seriously undone. Major plot complications today, a big battle, and I hit my word count (and am stopping today) in the middle of a digression.
So the real challenge, in the days to come, will be to continue with the writing, then the editing, and the etc.
But … for tonight … I’m done. And I’m very pleased with having hit my 50K and being a winner. Woot!
More about all of this later ….

Yay, congratulations!! Isn’t it an amazing feeling?
I’m in the same boat as you: over 50k, but the book still isn’t finished (and needs lots of editing)! Good luck and congrats again!

Grats! Woot! Et cetera!
So… How many more words do you reckon until it’s done?

That one’s hard to say. I have a sense that I’m half- to two-thirds-done, which would make it another 25-50K. I’m not sure, though, since I don’t have a solid outline of where I’m going from here. I know the antagonists and backstory — what my protagonist’s role is going to be in it and how and why … not so much.
