NaNoWriMo: Day 29 -- DONE!

It's true. I really finished, one whole day EARLY (you can get up off the floor now, Mom).

By any word count, I have managed to surpass 50,000. It's interesting to note that each application adds a little bit differently:

Microsoft Word = 50, 519. This was the toughest and the one I used as my count of record this month. I figure if MS Word grudgingly admitted I'd hit my daily word count, I had it made by any other standard.

NaNoWriMo Winner Validation Engine = 50,646. Bless their hearts, they count hyphenated words individually. I've been known to indulge in an overly-hyphenated style now and then.

Google Docs = 51,570. No idea what they're doing to reach this number. The only thing I can think of is that I have an interesting minor character who stutters, especially when she's excited. Which is a lot. Google must be counting each partial word as a whole. So democratic!

Off to enjoy a much-needed hot shower and bask in the satisfaction of being done. That should last about 1 whole day before I'm itching to do some re-writes.
