The counter script runs at 11:50pm sharp, and however many words I have written by then is what gets posted. This daily deadline has actually been a great motivator. I wrote almost a thousand words in the last half hour before it yesterday.

And there's still a fair bit of story to go, so I think I'll end up somewhere around 55k words.

Ah, I see how it works. The rate you've cracked through this has been bloody impressive.

Heh, I can see how it would focus the mind.

I'm still far, far slower than themerovingian who had her first 50k words done by Thursday the 6th. But I think I've done pretty well anyway. Although we'll see if I still think that once I try to read what I've written :-)

50k in a week... That's just astonishing. I just wrote a 50k piece, and it took me seven weeks.

I thought the challenge was to hit the word count! I think you've done amazingly. If you're going to carry on writing, I hope we still get to see those progressbots. I'll miss them off my friends page.

Well, yes, that is the challenge. But so far I have a feeling that the story is actually not at all bad, it'd be a nice bonus if that's really the case.

And the bot is set up to run for all of November.

Now that the NaNo challenge is met, you have the luxury of turning it into the piece you really want it to be.
