Thanks, Maggie! I did it!!



I think it was about 230p my time. I called Rog in to watch while I typed in the last two words and the word count went to 50,000! I had to add a few more as I had some footnotes which will eventually be edited out or incorporated in the text, but anyway nanowrimo's official counter didn't count them, so I actually wound up with an "official" count of 50,157. I've got loads to add, research and move around and change, but it sure feels good to have done it, esp. after all these years of saying I was going to get my dad's book done.

Hmmmm...I just checked, it was four years ago, to the day that my dad passed on. That brings a few tears.
