OH MY GOD I WON! TEN MINUTES AGO, AT 10:45 ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER THE 29TH OF 2008, I WON NANOWRIMO FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WITH A WORD COUNT OF 50,127!
YES! I DID IT! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

/end all-caps excitement

Still grinning like an idiot. I can't believe I actually did it! This is probably the proudest I have felt of myself in a very, very long time. I actually wrote fifty-fucking-THOUSAND words in ONE month! Ohmigod! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Good luck to anyone who's not quite there yet! I'll be waiting for you at the finish line. I've got cake... *entices with cake* ^________________________^

OHMIGOD I DID IT!!!!!

... dude, I am sooo craving cake. D: I might have to go out and buy myself some when I pass the 50k line.

Thank you! ^___^

I know, cake sounds like a really good reward right now. Yay for sugar!

Wow!
Well done!
What's the procedure now - do you get editing time before handing it in to the teacher?

Well, it was for National Novel Writing Month (http://www.nanowrimo.org/), so there's no teacher, just me. (If you've never done it before, try it next November. It's really quite fun, if you can live through the hand cramps and the lack of sleep. ^_^ ) Although I believe January is National Novel Editing Month, so I will be working on it further...
Basically, it was for my own satisfaction, and the ability to say that I've written 50,000 words in one month. Also, if my very, very disjointed story somehow manages to be coherent once I edit it, who knows? Maybe I'll be able to publish it somewhere?
I've got a lot more work to do, and it's not anywhere near being finished, but I achieved my goal, and now I've got the motivation to keep working on it.
