So, with Miguel, Jess and myself making it to 50K that’s half of the crew finishing (at least of the people that have been posting updates).
But, we are still here to try to keep the rest of you motivated! Let us know how you are doing, what kinds of struggles you are having. Just remember to keep going…you can make it. You guys are all on or near par, and that is the best way to approach this challenge: one day at a time, and with constant movement.

Heh, I don’t usually do an early finish celebration. I draw crappy cover art for my project. …unfortunately I don’t have any crappy cover art from old NaNos to share, because a) some of it features my boringname, rather than a dashing nom de plume or a Notorious Hacker Alias, and b) it’s old art and my standards have gone up and up I guess. Also c) it’s currently sitting on a NAS backup dump and I need to rebuild this bugger.
Anyway, not super struggling! Wrote stuff today! Tomorrow the local central library opens after a couple of years of renovation and I’ll go there and maybe get close to recommended wordcount? Maybe do actual research while at it? Dunno how I’ll do yet.
I’ve never bothered with cover art for anything I’ve finished… And even if I did, it would probably just be something semi-generic looking, like a hardcover book style with embossed lettering… I have this thing about retro looking objects – but making them by hand.
Cool that the library is opening tomorrow. Hopefully you don’t get too lost in the stacks. ;)
