Word Count Validator:
Up until November 25th, this area contained a run-of-the-mill word-count updater. Now it's become your portal to victory. If you upload a manuscript that is 50,000 words or more, you will be logged as an official NaNoWriMo winner, and will be sent to a special page to collect your winner's certificate and web icons.
Upload a manuscript that has less than 50,000 words, and you will be returned to this page (with your word count handily updated for you).
To use it, please save your manuscript as a Text Only file (with a .txt extension) and upload it here!
You've Won!
Dear Novelist,
You did it.
Despite everything else going on in your busy life, you managed to pull off the creative coup of writing a 50,000-word novel in just one month.
When the going got tough, you got typing, and in four weeks, you built vast worlds and set them in motion. You created characters; quirky, interesting, passionate souls with lives and loves and ambitions as great as yours. You stuck it out through the notoriously difficult middle stretch, and pressed onward as 80% of your fellow writers dropped out around you.
And now look at you: A NaNoWriMo winner. And the owner of a brand-new, potential-filled manuscript. It's an amazing accomplishment, and we're proud to have had you writing with us this year.
Official count: 50,660 words. 11 Chapters. One Children's book. "The Trouble With Charlie". I am a writer.

Found your blog through Sarah Louise. I'll come and look around some more!
Where can I get a copy? :-)
Two copies have been published. One for LM (he hasn't read it yet) and one for my hope chest. Beyond that, you'll just have to use your imagination!!
I'll admit, I always doubt the sanity of the NaNoWriMo people...but you totally pulled it off. And blogged too!
WooHoo!
P.S. LM can be your editor!
congrats anyway! what dedication. something i am truly lacking.
They should make January NaEdNoMo, as in National Edit Your Novel Month. I mean, it's your book, but...well, it is your book. It's just that all writing is re-writing...well, anyways, congratulations, because I sure never wrote 50,000 words on one thread in one month.
