OWN IT!" because seriously, that's a lot of wordage. When I did NaNo last year, I think I made it something over 25,000 for the entire month, and I think I was just amazed by the fact I'd managed more words in a month than I thought I could.<br /><br />So, your progress totally pwns my progress. :) Just remember, part of NaNo is not having any idea what the frell is going on and hoping for the best. I wish comment wordage counted towards NaNo wordcount...Krispyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492607213249874138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-76280298324364184532009-11-16T14:10:03.703-08:002009-11-16T14:10:03.703-08:00Um, you have 24,000 words more than I do.

Sometimes it really helps to resist the urge and not read back. That always leaves me drowning in self-doubt and "omigoshIshouldjustquitwhatamIdoing."Sarah Wyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576639307836794270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244084325311642260.post-19864369439328563662009-11-16T12:46:08.698-08:002009-11-16T12:46:08.698-08:00Dude, 25,000 words is a LOT of progress!
