I officially validated my novel today at (drum roll please!) 50,126 words. Which means I am an official NaNoWriMo Winner! I honestly didn't think I could reach 50,000 words. But I did it, and I'm so proud of myself!!

I still have a lot more to write - I thought getting to 50,000 would be a stretch but it seems it's just the beginning. Then comes the fun part - editing and trying to make sense of what I wrote. I have a ton more research to do as I think I probably got some facts wrong and I know my timeline is messed up. So, back to work. :-)
