I just hit 25k! I never thought i'd make it this far, honestly. I always give up on stuff like this! Knowing that other people are slogging along with me really helps--i'm very grateful for these forums. Happy writing!

I hit halfway at the write in today. I wanted to shout out loud when I did, but that part of me that cares what others think told me not to (stupid other part. Why do I always listen to you!).

I just hit halfway, only a day early. I'm gonna get my tooth pulled tomorrow morning, so hopefully I'll be back to writing on Tuesday when the nice pain pills wear off.

Thanks to all for the inspiration!

YAY Halfway!

Yes I agree that having other people helps keep the motivation up.

And I never write this much outside of November!

I wanted to hit the halfway point yesterday (the 8th) but I was simply too tired, and so I aimed for it today. I'm off the next two days, and I plan to spend them mostly writing, so hopefully I'll be finishing up my 50k by the 15th so I can focus on finishing the story. :D

Congratulations! You're really kicking butt!
(I now feel like a slacker; so many people going above and beyond this year is amazing)
