50,044!

[monkeybard]

Just pausing briefly to announce my current word count.  I'm going to get straight back to it now so that I know I have enough for NaNoWriMo's word counters to believe I'm over 50,000.  I recall them being distinctly stingy compared to my word counter last year.

ETA: And I was right.  My word counter currently says 50,325.  NaNoWriMo's says 50,178.  That's 147 words less.  Ah well.  I still win.  May I now please worry about how much sense this novel doesn't make?!

Congratulations!!

...and yes, now that you've hit the Magical Utterly Arbitrary Goal of 50K words, you get to worry about other things. :D

Thank you! and Thank you. It really doesn't make any sense. I'd like to tie everything together, but we'll see if it'll happen. Could be that once it's done a third of it gets edited out completely. There's just too damned much going on, IMO.

go you! you're done! sort of. :) done with the "requirement", anyways. Wahoo!!!

[monkeybard]

Yes. The arbitrary meaningless deadline is still four days out and I have surpassed the arbitrary word count requirement. Yay! ;)

How was your trip? And when are we running? I need to unload the two Thanksgiving dinners I had last week. :P

trip was great. and i can run any of the days this week...hopefully they'll be dryer than now!

Maybe Tuesday at 2ish? Let's email.

that would work for me, provided I can remember to bring my gear. ;)

YAY! YOU! ;D

[monkeybard]

Thanks! :D

Woo-hoo!

Yay you! Way to go!

Bet it makes way more sense when you give it a full read through. Now comes the fun part! (Yes, I enjoy editing/revising. I'm sick that way.)

And we shall not talk about my word count. :P

Thanks! I enjoy editing and revising, too, but I think I should maybe finish first just so I know what the hell the novel is about. ;)

Congratulations!!! We'll definitely have to go out and celebrate, assuming we can find a mutually-workable time to do so. :-)

Yes, yes! The pub is open until 11 on mid-weeknights. Of course, I got out of rehearsal at 11 last night. :P Shouldn't be that bad again until next week (she said, crossing her fingers and hoping hard).
