According to the NaNo Website I have less than two hours to finish... ;__;
Because it's counting time according to local time. And yes, that's what it says in the NaNo rules: you have to be done by midnight local time.
*sigh*
If my taxes hadn't gotten in the way at the last moment... But the IRS more or less gave me a final deadline: today. Or pay an amount of taxes that *they* would determine. >.> So I was working on my taxes until 3 am this morning. Then dropped dead. By the time I managed to get back to writing, it was more or less evening.
*another sigh*
And I *so* wanted to finish this time... ;__;
31515 words. There's no way I can write another 18485 words in the next 1 hour and 44 minutes left...
And I don't want to cheat... really I don't...
Oh well... ;__;
EDIT: 33501 words at the last second...
Maybe next year...
I think I'll just go over into that corner and huddle there, feeling very, very unhappy and sorry for myself.

Thank you for your encouraging words. Sure I could have just copied part of the text and added it in to fill the gap. But I wanted actually *write* this thing to the end. *sigh* To prove something to myself. So yeah, I was quite depressed last night, even this morning.
But I'll get over it. I do want to finish the story - I still have quite a bit to go with it - and then I want to edit it and turn it into something good. :)
Thank you. <3
Next year you'll do it.
Well, I'd had my heart set on finishing. At least *this* year. But I guess I just started too late... >.> Though I did get more written this month than in the last 10 years... ^___^ So maybe I should just look at *that* as an achievement.
Yes, I'll *definitely* make it next year! *HUGS*
Thank you so much! And yes, I'm going to finish it. Even if I didn't make NaNo, I still want a complete story, once I'm done. At least it got me back into writing... :)
Maybe we'll just start together next year? :)
Hope it reads perfectly when you come round to looking over it!
It seems insignificant compared to the goal, but maybe it isn't so bad, because it *did* get me started on writing again. And I definitely want to not only finish it, but also go over it afterwards and make it *good*. ^___^
Can I say, I think 33k is bloody fantastic??!!!
Pat yourself on the back for that!
But... but... but...
I was *sooo* determined to win *this* time... ;__;
Hm... *eyes you speculatively*
How would you like to be my editor? ^_____^
*coughonlyifyouhavetimeofcoursecough*
Thank you. *HUGSHUGS*
Now all I have to do is finish convincing myself that it's ok... But you know how that is... ^^
Hon, I would love to, but I'm in a bit of a time crisis already :(. I'm not a safe bet LOL!!
*sigh* seriously, I already just 'resigned' from betaing for someone else, which was a real disappointment for me, but I just couldn't make the time for it and I wasn't being fair to her. I'll be the first to volunteer for you though, if my circumstances change!
*hugs*
*HUGS back*
