I reached 50413. I'm getting ready to have the crap counted. :)

Woo-hoo! Congratulations!

I'm right behind ya - should be there in an hour or so. I don't think the story will be done for another two thousand or so beyond that, but it'll be pretty close. Yay! I'll be THROUGH with this crap for awhile!

I stopped at a "transition scene." The main conflict of this story is over but I have enough loose ends to start "Crap, The Sequel."

It's official:

NaNoWriMo 2002 Winner

Now I can get that low G!

Don't congratulate me yet! I still have about an hour of writing left before I can get verified, and another little bit tomorrow to finish the story. And that's just the rough draft...if I really wanted to FINISH, I'd have to fix it.

But I'm close to at least being done the challenge, I guess! 1200 words!

Mine needs MAJOR fixing but at least I have a beginning, middle and end.

Which is more I can say for any other longish stories I've attempted! I'll be so glad if I can do this, even badly. Usually, as I've said before, I edit the heck out of the thing as I'm writing and never get past the introductory stuff.

900 to go!

I finally got around to listening to "Gollum's Song" from the soundtrack downloads. I couldn't get over the fact that it has a distinctly Middle Eastern sound to it, and I thought about you! It is an interesting song, and the orchestration at the end of it leads me to believe that it will be used as the song at the end of the credits the same way that "In Dreams" was used at the end of "Fellowship".

LOL!! Well, I TOLD you it was cold, didn't I? Was your son excited seeing all the snow? Are you getting some more now? It started snowing here about 3 hours ago, but I think it has tapered off some. I don't remember what the predictions were for the Concord area. We might have gotten another inch, but not much. It was enough to cover the dirty snow that had been plowed off the streets!

Hullo Kevin! - Glad you checked in!

I'm glad you got up to NH! - It isn't right for a man to live in a land without seasons. Before you know it they are runnin' around without skivvies. It ain't natural!

My sons loved seeing the snow. As soon as we got out of the airport they started throwing snow at each other with their bare hands. Then they complained about their hands being cold because they didn't realize the snow would actually be cold. ;^)

They have been outside almost non-stop today, making snow angels, sledding, traipsing around in the woods. It has been a very good day.
