I did it! I have successfully managed to punch out 50,050 words in this month of November! This makes 2007 the third year that I have successfully crossed the 50,000 line out of the four attempts I have made thus far. Now I can finally rest my fingers. :)

It’s been one hell of a ride (as it always is with NaNoWriMo), but I’m glad that I gave it a shot once again this year!

I know I haven’t been blogging much about my novel, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I currently have 40,088 words down. You are supposed to have 41,675 if you’re playing the “average” game, but due to various circumstances, I fell behind last week. The amount of writing that I’ve put in this weekend has helped me get back into the game although it’ll probably still be very difficult to juice out ten thousand words within five weekdays, we’ll see how that goes. More to come later this week.

I’m about to start transcribing the words that I had gotten down during our NaNoWriMo meeting at the Golden Griddle a few hours ago and I just wanted to note that I was completely unable to recall my lead female character’s name at all while I was there. I thought about it for at least five minutes but it just never came. So instead, I just wrote an ‘X’ in my little notebook as a placeholder. How sad.

It’s November, which means it’s another go at fifty thousand words for National Novel Writing Month for me again!
