When I got within about 127 words of reaching the goal of having a 50,000-word draft of my novel (which doesn't mean it's finished, of course), I furled the sails and waited. Then last evening I went off to our region's Big Push Write-In wearing a new t-shirt, given to me by my friend in honor of this momentous occasion. On the front of it are these words:end up in my novel
And there, among friends, I typed the last words needed to cross the line for NaNoWriMo's word-count goal. No, I didn't stand up and cheer and shout, but it was fun to share that time with them. Then I entered the word count in the meter at the top of my profile page, confusing the wrimo sitting next to me. Yes, it was deliberate -- because I wanted to see my word-count meter turn solid green. Then (and only then) did I put the **whole** kit and caboodle through the validator to see the meter turn gloriously purple with WINNER! across the face of it. Wanna see?

Congratulations, Bonnie! What an accomplishment...and a day early, too! My hat is off to you!
Congratulations! I'm very impressed :-)
Congrats, Bonnie. I did the green first and then purple thing myself. I validated it yesterday. My story, like yours, isn't finished yet.

Congratulations, Bonnie!
Congrats Bonnie!! That's very impressive. Your story sounds really good too! Hopefully, when you are a published author, I can get an autographed copy...and can say, "I knew her when...."
Well done Bonnie! That is such a fantastic achievement.
Oh well done, Bonnie, brilliant stuff!
