I win. Again.
Well, another year, another Nano. I passed word count today, somewhere in the 50,200-something range, and I still have one more chapter to go.
If a novel is written and no one reads it, does it make a sound?
Unlike in prior years, this novel was technically nowhere close to wrapping up its ridiculous plot twists as I approached the 50,000 word arches. Thus the last two chapters became a desperate attempt to tie off a dozen loose ends, to underwhelming effect (I have not in fact written the last and final chapter, although I may have done so by the time you read this, and I can already say with confidence that it will have been a desperate affair).
Silicone Sisters boasted 2 readers, each of whom had not terribly negative things to say about its wildly ridiculous premise and wholly unlikely capers (there was a third poser reader who pretended to be digesting chapters until he was unfortunately exposed on some major matters of plot). I would like to take this time to thank those people for making the endeavor worth posting online.
Join me in bidding my third and possibly final Nanowrimo farewell.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's your novel, I know I'm jealous, of your novel (adapted from the song sung by tiny-dog upon completing her first nano novel).
I can't wait for the final chapter. curious to see what happens with dori/jay. I have really enjoyed reading this as it was written and am actually kind of sad it is coming to an end (though I am sure you are happy to have it finished).
for those who haven't read it yet, it seriously is a great novel. I am not a writer myself so can't write a review to do it justice, but sufice it to say, Borders is crammed with books not fit to be turned into pulp to print this book on.
Way to go tiny-dog. I've quite enjoyed the tales of butt-paste and rolling eyeballs.
This better not be your final nanowrimo! Don't even joke about that! Seriously, I was never a big November fan, but now it's one of my favorite months, thanks to your novels. So please don't stop now. Personally, I wish you would write one every month.
I'd like to thank my fan base for supporting me this nano-vember; it hasn't always been easy and in fact has gotten ugly a few late nights, but I am proud to crawl across the finish line here in '05.
