Just wanted to share with you guys that last night I hit the 50k "milestone" with my WIP novel.
Just over 1/2 done .

You're going to throw a 50k party and get hopelessly sloshed, right?
Anyway, congratulations, rcorporon! May you have fun writing the other half.

You only *think* you're halfway done...let us know if the book actually turns out to be 100k at the end!
I thought I was halfway done at 50k and now at 70k I think I'm almost done. (There is room for fluffing in the rewrite.)
OTher people I know get to 100k and realize THAT may actually be the halfway point!
Never know...
Nice job getting so much written, in any case.

Way to go. And I can speak without envy because I just passed twenty thousand words in the novel I started just two weeks ago. It may not be as much as some of you, but it's by far the best novel start I've had so far this century...

Congrats! I'm very jealous. I wish I had the time to get that far...maybe when I retire in 30 years or so.

That is cool! Looking forward to seeing your name emblazened on the cover of a new novel at bookstores across America! -Jason

Well, providing I actually learn your real name, I'm sure I'll buy a copy of your book. Congratulations on 50K!

Congrats!
I was really proud of myself for finishing my first novel at 30,000. A massive rewrite/retooling turned it into a 70,000 word novel. My second novel, I just couldn't shut up and in its current incarnation clocks in at 140K!!!!!! It's a stand alone fantasy novel, but I think I need to trim it a bit.
50,000 is a great landmark. Don't stop now!
JOHN!

I thought you were talking about NaNoWriMo there for a minute...
Congrats on 50k and good luck on the next 50!

Congrats, man. 50k isn't easy for anyone to get to, especially if it's only half way through. I'd like to be able to hit 50k soon, but I'm only at 11k now.

You're 8K ahead of me.
Congratulations.

Real name? That's easy. "Ronnie Corporon." Hence my lame username .
Thanks again for all the kind words. You've helped get me on my way and keep on plodding.
