Damn you, 50K!


45292 / 50000 words. 91% done!

It feels like I've written another novel, but it was only 2000 words! How is that fair? My story is already concluded in itself, but I'm only powering through just to make it 50K and keep my promise to myself. I will do it even if it ends me! I.WILL.DO.IT.

Yes, I'm crazy. It's just, I need to sleep, you know...

Maybe one more chapter... Come on, I can do it, COME.ON.

Heh, if we both tried, then I guess nothing to do but cheer her on! :D

I totally caved in and finished it earlier than 50K. You were both right. :))

Aw, well, I'm glad you finished then! YAY! I just read your other entry and it sounds you have something exciting to move on to anyway! :D

And yeah. We should all take a pledge to NOT do NaNo or something. Not that it's bad in general, but it seems like it's not a good idea for a lot of our writing style's.

Yeah, it's definitely not for writers like us. I'll make sure to stop you from doing the same mistake again next year, if you ever attempt to do it of course :))

I think I've finally learned my lesson, but I might need to be reminded next year! :D
