Five thousand behind at the moment, it's not looking good.
Still, I'm about to embark on a journey back home to the parents so the tube and train ride may provide me with some inspiration.

About 24,000 at the moment. Had family things to do over the weekend so any chance to catch up went out of the window.
But, dinner has been taken care of any no annoying flat mate to disturb me so progress may be made.
Also, 41,000. I'm impressed.

I keep falling asleep. It really s very difficult to find the time and not stay up so late that I endanger my job! So I'm only 32,000 words - just about on track, but it'll be a close call.
Still, I think I've got over the hump now - for a few days it wasn't just exhauston making me not write, it was lack of will to write. Neil Gaiman's pep talk was like reading my own thoughts expressed by someone else. Very helpful!
41,000 Marty - well done. No way I'm going to catch up with you now!

only 16000 words at moment and not much prospect of adding mahoosively to that in next week.
so another year another failure.. in fact it is three failures at once because i was working three previous unfinished novels at once. very gloomy about it. but i will be back next year.

I knew I would have no chance this year, so I've just been adding to last year's successful nano but not completed one...
It's nearing its end.
Looking back much of the nano bits need improving , of course

I'm on about 45,500 words now, though about 2000 of that is still in handwritten form. Don't know if I'll have time to type that up and write the last five thousand - especially since I'm away on the thirtieth in the evening and am workng all that day, so have to get it finished by the 29th really.
I think I will manage it, though. The last few days were very slow because I was working on a really tricky part. Then I decided to fuck that bit off and finish it later, after completing the easier subsequent parts.
The story even has a title and three section headings now!

I am now sitting here with a big idiotic grin on my face because I've passed the 50,000 milestone.
50,000 + words in 21 days (because I started late), with full-time work, childcare and band - and whenever I've read back I've really liked the story, too. They haven't just been 50,000 shit words!
I feel like jumping up and down around the room. Hell, I think I will!

now if i'd been writing a book like Marty's that would have been good material
Aww, that's horrible.
Anything can be good material for a book, though - maybe you can use this for a future story. That's one good thing about writing - even the crappy times are valuable. I've been very lucky in having a GF who could cope with being a NaNo widow - but that was partly because I was a FAWM widow in February when she wrote an album in one month for a similar challenge.
Onemonkey that is unspeakably harsh. Sorry to hear that
