Fireworks!!!

I did it!! 50000 words in 29 days. Yes, I already hit the target last night!
Have a look at this sweety:

Ah, I am indeed a little proud. And I will be even prouder if I manage to keep going and actually finish the novel - without an external motivator, that is. There's still a LOT of work to do and so much to tell. I don't think that I'm even half way through.

I'll keep you updated.
Also, I'd appreciate any kind of cheering on aka kick in the butt!

Cheers!

40k and moving on

Just enough time to squeeze in the news: Reached 40k close to midnight last night and thus earned the final word count badge before the actual finale! Hurrah!

Also, I found out something interesting: No matter how grumpy I might be after a long day with work and kids and chores, no matter how fed-up and wasted - I always feel wonderful and refreshed after my nightly writing session, and also a little proud of myself (especially when I managed to turn the daily word count bar a nice shade of green).
Wish every month could be NaNoWriMo! ...

Well, no, I guess not. If it was NaNoWriMo every month I would probably get all the real bad symptoms caused by sleep deprivation very soon. Like ... ah ... what's it called ... uh ... amnesic aphasia - that's it!

Right, gotta go back to work. 10k and 8 days more to go - I do have a good feeling about this.

More posts when September ... no, when November ends.
