Tonight, I staggered wearily across the NaNoWriMo finish line of 50,000 words. In fact, I overshot it a bit -- my ending count tonight was 50,720 words. I made it again, that's three years in a row....

It all depends on your font, size, spacing, margins, etc. That's why the final count goes by word number instead of page number -- far more objective.

I'm ending the day at 46,109 words, less than 4,000 shy of the 50k finish line. I feel good. Nothing short of having my hands chewed off by zombies will stop me from hitting the big 5-0-comma-0-0-0...

That's one. :)

It really all depends on how happy I am with the book when it's done...

No problem. :)

I mentioned this elsewhere, but I wanted to bring it up here, too. Anybody else here a fan of Podiobooks.com? I'm seriously considering, after NaNoWriMo is over, trying to submit...

Got my idea. :)

Despite having a two night classes and a major portfolio project due in November, I'm giving it the ol' college try.

Morally, yes. :D

But if you're asking if anyone has tried to plagarize my stuff, not to my knowledge. Between the copyrights on the page and the number of witnesses (including about half the...

That I am. :)

I've done it twice, and "won" both times. In fact, I posted my 2005 NaNoNovel as my annual Christmas story at my website. If anyone's interested...
