the last nano post of the year

[rivendellrose]

Heeeeee. I've done it before, but I've never managed it this early before.

...And now, I have a whole lot of editing to look forward to. :D

(Note: Ignore the *actual* number on my profile page on NaNo, btw - once I knew by my own accounting that I was past 50,000, I had to pop the whole of the document that I've been working in into the validator. I've been working in so many weird little documents to get this thing done, due to my lovely word-processor hiccup, that if I'd tried to upload only the exact words I'm counting for my word count it would have gotten really confusing. I'm not really at 60,000 this month - that's just the total that I've written on this fic in the main doc, with the addition of one other doc I've been working out of to bring it up. And if that doesn't confuse you... then can I borrow your brain? :P Seriously, though - I've been keeping careful track, and I'm quite sure that I'm over 50,000 this month. So it's all good. :D)

Congrats! I haven't been keeping track; did you write an original story? I tried to participate one year, but all my plots are so fragmented in my head. :(

Nooo, this year I wimped out and decided that rather than doing my usual NaNo thing and trying to write an original work, I would use the time to finish up what I fondly call the Fic Of Doom (tm) - an absolute monster of a piece of fanfiction that I've been playing with on and off for over a year now.

That's why keeping track of word-count's been such a bitch this year - I had to discount everything I'd written before November, leading to a complex system of... writing in a different color every day. Complicated much by writing some stuff by hand at the beginning of the month, when I was struggling to catch up after my trip.

You have done what I could not.
I am awed.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Lol. I got lucky this year - the characters wouldn't leave me alone, so I pretty much had to do it. ;)

Well done!!! I think I'm only going to manage about 15k this year, which is a shame. I am very impressed with anyone who manages to succeed!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks! There were definitely a few points this year where I thought "oh, no way is this going to happen." But getting totally consumed by my story helped just a bit. As did locking myself in my bedroom every evening. ;)

Woot! Grats!! :D

I saw your wordcount this morning and nearly choked! LOL. ;D

Congratulations on hitting it before deadline even! :D

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Yeah, the word-count thing was a bit of a shock - I'd forgotten that it actually shows the full count of whatever you upload, not just "yup, over 50,000." :P

Wow, congratulations!
