	It's over.
	wordcount widgets wordcount widgets I will still be working on the story. There's a little problem of a major denouncement of the villain that's yet to be written, but that will be a breeze compared to the major editing I'll be doing on the early chapters! Thank You to the Nano team for organizing this amazing self-competion, to the writers who wrote pep talks for their encouragment and practical advice. Thank You to my family and friends for giving me just the write balance of teasing and space to inspire and to actually write. And most of all, Thank You to all my LJ friends for your support!!! For those times when I was so far behind, I wasn't sure I'd ever catch up. For the encouragement when I felt I was writing crap! Even for the warm thoughts you sent my way when I was so emotionally frazzled, I couldn't write. I really, really couldn't have done it without you guys. hugs Now I just have one more favour to ask: next year, if for some Insane reason, I start talking about taking this on again, please someone shoot me. Thank you. Tags: nano Current Mood: Victory is mine!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! I'm so proud of you!!! ♥ ♥

I'm thinking of counting all of my blogging this month towards my word count, since my story ended up being something therapy related and based on real life... ROFL

That's fantastic! Congratulations!

C'mon - admit it - you're really glad you did it! It's probably like other creative pursuits (giving birth, maybe?) - a year from now you'll only remember the good result, and you'll wonder mightily why people are threatening to shoot you...

Oh no! Not the childbirth analogy! You're feeding one of my pet phobias. :P

LOL! Well, we'll see. *hugs* Thanks so much!

Congrats!!! You're now my idol. I will hold you up as the model to aspire to ...next year if I'm crazy enough to try this again. My own efforts stalled somewhere back around 7,000 words!!

Congrats!!! You're now my idol.

*giggles and blushes* Well, don't hold up my pulling all-nighters because I spent the time I should have been writing chewing my nails over fictional characters. :P

7,000 words is not that bad. *hugs* Hopefully, next time, you'll have a better support system than me. :(

*claps* Congrats!
and you even went over 50K

*hugs* You're awesome.
I can't wait to read it one day ;)

I'm not sure I went that much over 50K. According to Microsoft Word's word count, I had 50,070 words. I think the robot counters on the nanowrimo website may have incorrectly counted some characters as words.

Thanks a lot, dear! I'll take a break from that story for a few weeks but I'll start editing it before the end of the year.

Yay! You did it! *does crazy Kermit the Frog dance*

But why must you denounce the villain? I'm sure she/he would be much better served by a nice hug. ;)

And also, inquiring minds want to know: Just who did kill Palpatine? ;)

And in honour of that, I break the chain of nano icons to use this one. ^

HA! As for who killed Palpatine... you have to read it to find out. :P

In my confusion I forgot to say, well done! Are you going to leave what you've written alone now or work on it a bit more?

Cool icon! :D

I'll hold off working on it more for some weeks but I will do some additional work. The ending was rushed and there is a large chunk of the first chapters that will be retconned.

In my confusion I forgot to say, well done!

He he. Thanks! It's not a competition against others, just your own goal to reach the 50,000 word mark. So yes, there are many winners!
