Nano'd!

[nonionay]

I hit 50,000 words in Nanowrimo today. (Still have 30,000 or to go to novel's end). This means I get to do my favorite Nano thing -- encoding my novel to be uploaded and verified. I don't have to do this; I trust the Nano website. But it's fun! Ever since I accidentally replaced all the "o"s in The Starfever with the character's name, "Oxana," I've been using that every year. I just like having my manuscript look like this:

Mayboxana shoxana'd boxanaoxanan in Vitali's way. But why had hoxana boxanaoxanan sparoxanad? Had hoxana simply failoxanad toxana noxanaticoxana in timoxana?

(All o's and e's replaced with "oxana".)

Congratulations! I'd been watching you to see if you would be able to make it, since I crossed the line a week ago. (And a good thing I did, because I've had almost no time to write this week.) Way to put in a lot of effort right before the finish.

I so slacked off this week! I probably could have finished earlier if I didn't spend Thanksgiving hypnotized by an all-day House marathon.
And Congratulations to you! How much more until your novel's finished-finished?

Congratulations!! Good to see another winner!

(Love find and replace. I do all my vowels this way with nonsense words before verifying too.)

I'm trying to get to 60K by today, but I don't think I'll make it. In any case, the whole book will wrap up at around 75K, which I hope to get to by the middle of december.
