I won. I completed 50,000 words in time. Of course, only about 13,000 words are directly usable if and when I end up editing the story, the rest will have to be removed – they were imposed by the strict timetable and the explicit leave to lower one’s standards.

But, bottom line:

I WON!

Ps. Please don’t ask to see the manuscript. It’s not that good

Pps. My mother won, too. Conga rats!
