Word Count so far

[Darren]

Just broke 30k, which I'm pleased about because I didn't think I was going to get that far.

Maybe your story has reached its natural conclusion? Assuming you have a beginning, middle and ending, of course. if it just peters off, that's a different... erm, story.

[Nancy]

Er... I can't be the only person here who's broken 50k, right?

[Jennifer]

Congrats Nancy! I just broke 50k today. Heh, I celebrated with pizza for dinner.

[Thomas]

I broke 50k on the 21st. I started with a fast pace, thinking I would get ahead so the second and third week wouldn't be so difficult. My pace didn't ebb though.

[Nancy]

Congrats to Jennifer and Thomas! Hopefully, we'll have some other people joining us soon :)

[Sky]

Forgot to keep track over the weekend, but apparently I was vomiting more words than I thought. Ended just shy of 60k, time to play video games. I'll save the cringing for when I come back to it in a few months...

[Lisa]

Managed to break 50k today, yay! Story isn't quite done yet, but will hopefully done soon.

[Sophie]

Just got my 50K today too! A whole 33 hours early. Take that procrastination!

[Dwayne]

50K! I estimate I'm about 20 to 30K short of completing the novel though. :/

[Name Less]

Done. Damnit.

[Nancy]

Congrats to everyone who's finished, or surpassed, 50k! I managed to hammer out 65k this year, which is the best I've ever done for NaNoWriMo. (first time I tried, I just made it over 50k. Second time was 63k, third time was 61k). Unfortunately, I have about 25k left in the book, so I guess I'll be doing a half a NaNo next month. Anyone else have plenty of story left to go?

Probably have the same amount. Unless my brain decides to throw a major surprise my way when I least expect it like it sometimes does. The rewrite's gonna suck to get through.

[Jay]

I'm at 68k at least according to the Validator (sounds so authoritative!). Judging from my story last time, I'm about halfway done. Think it was late December by the time I finished the first full draft. But dammit, that sucker was done. Will probably do a second draft on that one once I've got this finished.

Congrats to all who participated!

[Trike]

I ended up at just over 5k. Note to self: next year plan better (try an outline) and turn off the internal editor.

[Trike]

2014 update:

1,300 words so far.

Working on fleshing out an outline this time. Discovery writing is not for me.

[Joseph]

15.8k of hot garbage :)

[G.R.]

Is there a NaNoWriYe?

My sequel has been years in the making. Two months ago I hit 75,000 words when I went, 'oh, crap.' I finally made it to the good part when the expedition gets to the new planet only to realize that I still hadn't developed the culture and characters of this planet.

So now, partly as an exercise, and partly to get my head back in the game, I'm writing an unrelated/related short story to do just that. Just recently wrote 1,200 words on the plane (coming and going) for a business trip that gets me up to 8,000 words total (which I think is about halfway).
