NaNoWriMo 2011, Day 29

Ahem. Notice the icon, folks! Hee.

Well, I'll probably be able to finish part one tomorrow, but I wanted to validate my word count today because I don't trust NaNo's site to be up and interactive tomorrow! My official word count was 56997, which was two more than wc -w gave me on my Linux box.

So yay!

It's been fun. I started out feeling very uncertain that I'd be able to make a story out of what I had, but I think I've more or less managed. It isn't great, as stories go, but it's been interesting writing fantasy, trying to make sure the vocabulary and images I use are acceptable in a magic, not technology, based society, and how mysterious the steam punkish society that shares this world seems to them in many ways.

Congrats! I got across the line last night. 50,002 words. I just needed to be over and then I stopped. It's a good feeling, isn't it?
