Nite nite orl

I'm feeling immensely proud of myself for finishing NaNo with exactly 50k words in 6 days and I've had a couple of hours celebrating so it's bedtime for me now.

I've got a delivery of Christmas presents due tomorrow "by 10pm" so if it's closer to 10pm then I should be able to get the vast majority of it finished by the time I head to bed tomorrow, but it's only 6k a day tomorrow and Friday then I can celebrate with my big treat of a take-away mocha and I'll be going to sleep with a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

I'm not thinking that far ahead yet though, I've gotta get through the night first!  lol

I've popped my last two pills of the day and the side effects are kicking in, so I'm heading off to beddy-byes now.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.

Sod it, I deserve...

...a mocktail as well as my chocolate and J2O!  I think I've got four left so I'll reward myself with one of those instead of a mocha.

As of 3 minutes ago...

...I'm a NaNo winner for the 13th time with a new personal best time of 6 days.

It's 40 minutes past the cut off time for my mocha so I'm going to celebrate with a J2O and breathe for the first time this week.

I've still got 12k more to write to finish the entire manuscript which I'll hopefully manage before the weekend, but for now it's time for all of my rewards for winning NaNo again!

7 down, 1 to go

I've got 999 words left to write to win NaNo.  It'll be too late in the day for me to order the mocha so I'll double up on the chocolate instead then have the mocha to celebrate finishing the entire thing.

For now though, it's choccie time!

6 down, 2 to go

I've done really well this morning and I've just written my 6,000th word of the morning so I'm stopping for lunch now and then I'll write the last 2k this afternoon, hopefully in plenty of time to celebrate.

My previous personal best was 9 days but I'm pretty sure I'll be win NaNo this afternoon which will shrink my personal best down to only 6 days which is really impressive!

I've got about 15k words left to write for the whole book to be finished, but as long as I can write another 8k a day, I'm right on track for finishing on Friday!!

4 down, 4 to go

I'm rounding the final corner of the marathon and I'm just about to grab my last reward before crossing the finish line.

I can taste the win in the air now... coming to get you this afternoon, reward Mocha!

3 down, 5 to go

I don't want to jump the gun yet, but I'm really hoping that I'll have won NaNo in plenty of time to have my reward of a take-away mocha for winning, then I'll only have 13k-ish to go and I'll have finished the entire book in record time and with considerably less stress and more enjoyment than other years.

2 down, 6 to go

That's another thousand words in the bag and another wee and treat deserved and it's not even 8am yet!

1 down, 7 to go

I've got the first 1k words of the day under my belt and sorted out some techie issues with saving the document, then started the weekly backups going, so I'm feeling pretty good this morning.

Time to crack on with the next thousand words now I reckon.

Nite nite orl

I didn't even manage 7 hours of sleep overnight so it's no wonder that I'm so tired now.

Gotta remember that it's the weekly virus scan and backups tomorrow so need to definitely not open my emails until they are all done and dusted.

I've popped my last two pills of the day and I'm gonna head straight on up to beddy byes.

I'll see you all in the morning.

Nite nite orl.
