I don't care if anyone knows that I am all gorked out about this! It is an accomplishment for me and I will share it!

Writing a memoir. Not done yet...still loads more to write, but I did it!

I hit a mark that I did not think I would!

Yeah for me!

That is all. Thank you for reading.

Elsewhere. I'll, um, get back to you on the detail
Congratulations! 10,000 words can be a daunting task.

If I were to write a memoir, I'd probably get about eight words before I finished: "My name is [Supreme Overlord], and I'm boring," nine if the contraction counts as two.

Again, congratsverymuchness. Keep up the good work, and keep writing.

10,000 words is no small feat. Go, 5, go!

Maryn, cute in her cheerleading outfit (oh, gawd!)

I know how you feel - I never thought I'd be where I am today either, in terms of words written. Congratulations and welcome to the board.

Congratulations! My father told me once (about something not writing, but oh well) that he was most impressed that I was actually doing it! I've got lots of wishful thinking and too little actual doing. I'm very impressed.

Supreme Overlord, I'd end up adding a cliche to mine, just to make it super special. My name is Sagana and My Life Is Average *g*

Yay! Way to go, fellow Californian! (fyi, that was said with my best govenator accent, which no one but a fellow Californian will fully understand!)

Thank you, History Lover.... and he's not here because of me! ;-)

Thanks to everyone for all of the encouragement! Because I can brag here and get such positive feedback, I was able to brag IRL today too!

*tear*

Thanks!

Mostly on Venus. Sometimes SoCal, U.S.A.
I'm a writer who pontificates verbally as well as in written word more than what's good for me {or any other unfortunate soul who finds him/herself within a mile radius}.

10,000 is excellent, though! I'm proofing and editing a story that I'd written within a year, and what totals 140,000 words. lol I can gas on like you wouldn't believe!

Congrats on your success, 5YOL!
