It seems I've reached a point where it can no longer be done. I should have expected as much. I've wanted to be a writer for a long time, but I never really put much into it before now -- I always said it would be better to be an aspiring writer than a failed writer.
But looking at rules given in Baty's book, I've failed yet again. I will miss the 50,000-word mark, and by quite a bit. I mean, it clearly says that the 49,999th word should be "THE" and the 50,000th word should be "END."
Dammit!
Dammit all to SPACE HELL!!!
Word count: 50,206.

Congratulations!!! So is your story finished now, or do you have more to write?
Also, your check, sir: should I just shred it, or would you like it returned so that you can have the pleasure of shredding it?
Congrats! Hope you get some sleep!
Thanks, all of you.
Yes, it is done. I'll post the particulars later tonight.
Um, I guess go ahead and shred it. No, wait -- just hang on to it. I'll decide what to do with it later.
And Chris, I know OSU needs all the help it can get, but it won't get it from me.
Yeah George! I'm so glad you made it and only a little angry about the evilness of your post.
You should probably have Wendy at least write void on the check. That way it can't fall into the wrong hands and be used for evil purposes.
I look forward to hearing about the editing process and the possiblity of reading the final draft when it's ready.
May I add to the chorus?
WOO-HOO!
I still haven't gotten your e-mail.
Woo!!
