I am sitting at 24k words at this point and I am behind I admit but the ideas still come from my mind. I can see why an outline would have been needed and ideas to be written down as I sometimes have no idea where to take this story.
Well done aileth for reaching 50k.

Well, I did it on the last night, but I hit 50k. I still need to do some work to finish this draft, but I'm pleased I got this much.

Congrats! I am very happy for you.
I made it myself but I am far from finished, I have alot more to add and then get drafted.

Congratulations, stwin and Dany, for making it! Sounds like some of us still have more work to do Isn't that delightful? Oh, yeah, that's not strange, is it?
I put in 70,000 words in November, and still no end in sight (well, the end is barely visible at a long, long distance; maybe this'll become two books in time) so just.keep.writing.
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away ... my days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle
Congrats to those who finished--and good luck to those who still have a ways to go!
I "finished", by which I mean I wrote the story I thought I was writing, and then on December 1st had a thought which will require reworking the setting. But it'll be cooler in the long run, I hope...
