After pulling out all of the stops these past 9 days, I'm now back on track to completion.

The best part about it is that my novel is getting more and more exciting every day I write some. It's been gaining momentum for the past week now and I'm still about 3 days (of writing) away from the climax!

I feel it's just flying off my fingers at the moment, so at least that means I should be able to continue and make the 50,000, especially since the amount I have to write has now come down to below 1,600 per day.

Finally, to all those keeping track of my progress, or any other Wrimo's progress, I challenge you to do it next year. I have already said that this will be one of my most favourite personal achievements so why not give it a go. I know I'm not finished yet, but either way it's been really good and just keeps getting better.

I went along the weekly Wellington Write-In at the library yesterday and one of the other Wrimo's mentioned a few novels which happened to be around 50,000 words. I didn't realise this but when you think of the likes of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which you have held in your hand at one time or another, well this will equate to that - if only in volume :-)

When I print it out at the end of the month, I think my smile will be broader than my face!
