the final countdown, or something like that

And my story is finished (I actually didn't allow myself to 'validate' and become an official winner until I finished the story).

...holy crap.

I almost got a little teary in the middle of Panera Bread. I can't believe I did it! And I can't believe it's over!

I'm going to go be stunned a little more now. And possibly eat a cheese danish.

YAY! *big hugs* Congratulations! I knew you could do it!

[amatyultare.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I am sort of still in shock...

[piano1815.livejournal.com]

Congrats darling! And just think, you'll get to do it all over again in a year! ^_^

[amatyultare.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Too true. ^_^ Plus there's Script Frenzy in April...

NaScFrMo of course!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

That's so awesome and exciting and cool! It's also making me go, "Man, I wish I had done NaNoWriMo this year" inside, except then another voice goes, "NO, YOU DO NOT! You're supposed to be working on a paper right now, you slacker!"

So is any of this completed work going to be put on LJ?

[amatyultare.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, NaNo during grad school is a super-crazy idea. There will be other years! And then we can have word wars, and it'll be awesome.

Um, I might actually post some excerpts for commentary - I am an overly fond author right now who is blindly in love with her first draft, so some critique might do me some good. Hmm.

CONGRATS!

WOOOOOHOOO! And you finished the story. Go you!! :)

[amatyultare.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I didn't finish nearly as quickly as you did, though, hehe.

Belated congrats on your first nanowrimo win!!! I didn't finish this year thanks to papers and the flu, but at least I get to live vicariously through you! ^_~
