Tired? Somewhere between very proud of my little story and very, very fed up with looking at it. I will let it sit until the new year until I look at it again.
Just hung up the NaNoWriMo gloves on a final count of 160,119 …
Last year, I did around 70,000, and looked at the leader board and wondered how those people in the six-figures section did it.
… I still don’t know.
Heh. That’s what you get for typing in your sleep. 
So…what’s your book about?
208 words left. I’ve been completely out of storyline for about 10,000 words now; it’s all been BS since then. Yay.
Wha … ? It was supposed to be about something?
(It’s a horror/thriller thing, about a scientific research ship that sails out of the real world when tracking a strange geomagnetic wave form* which turns out to be drawn on a fourteenth-century Norse manuscript.)
*(Any science in the story is pulled directly out of my backside, I didn’t have time to do any research.)
Aaaaand done!
This was my sixth year doing it, and definitely the hardest. It was the first time I was writing all the way until the last day, and last year’s novel was way better. But I’m done, so whatever.
I am done! This was my first year and I totally did it, even though I was sure every day that I wouldn’t make it. I had to throw in an extended sex scene to make the plot stretch as far as it had to, but hey, nothing wrong with a good sex scene (or even a bad one, really).
The word counter dropped me by nearly 100 words, but I still made it: 50,003 by Nano’s count.
Everything is awesome! And I am tired. Quit type now.
50,003? Well done! Only three extra words. There ought to be a prize for that.
An incomplete in my case.
Real life and College got me, but I will be ready next time. At least I have all chapters plotted.
Congrats to all who finished!
3 words. Wow. But congratulations on your first win and if you’ve never written a book before, you’re now a novelist!
I managed to more or less finish with about 3 hours to spare. The book came to an end (not quite the one I wanted, but an end) at 50390 according to winword and slightly more according to the NaNo counter.
I’m really going to edit last year’s book this March. This year’s book goes into the “never to be seen again” pile.
Incomplete. I lost my mojo!
I won! Verified last night, at the last minute, of course. I was so tired I didn’t come over to the SDMB afterwards. I can’t believe I did it…the novel is really about nothing, but I kind of like some parts. My husband won also, but no big surprise there–he’s actually a writer, and he’s done it before. Now we have to turn things around, just to be fair. I fully expect him to do my job in his spare time for a month. (Not really, I do cancer research, but hey…)
The big upshot is that now my mom has to do NaNoWriMo next year. When I told her I was writing a novel, she asked if she could live vicariously through me. I told her that she could, but that if I actually finished, she would have to do it next year. I called her tonight to tell her to get her ideas ready. Mwa ha ha.
