50,000th word

[ninablues]

So, there was a thread on the NaNo forums asking about what people's 50,000th word was, the word that got them over the finish line. My version of Word doesn't have a counter at the bottom, so I highlighed it and hit word count and then continued to move up and down until I found 50,000.

My 50,000th word?

Arse.

*facepalm*
*double facepalm*
*triple

haha awesome!
my 50k word is "be".

[ninablues]

A fine word! :D

I'm tempted to delete the "arse" sentence entirely, just because.

[jawice24]

Haha you shouldn't! Arse is a very useful word, and how often oes it get to be the 50000th word in a story? I bet you that it doesn't happen often. It's special!

HAHAHAHAHA! Hey, I think it's "quirky" that that's your 50,000th word! It could have been worse, I suppose...

[ninablues]

lol, "quirky" is one way of describing it. And actually yeah, considering how much my MC swears I guess it really could have been worse!

That's awesome! Mine is unexciting and is 'them'. Ah well.

[ninablues]

Nothing wrong with 'them'. A fine word! :D

I feel like some NaNo-god is making fun of me. *shakes fist* XDD

[niee87]

Haha, most likely ;)

[ninablues]

It will probably be something so totally random you'll scarcely believe it. XD

When I do NaNo next year (uni FAIL for this year), I am going to make it my aim to have Arse as my 50,000th word. Maybe even the last word. Seriously that's epic.

Hahaha. I did totally facepalm when I saw what it was. I was like, "ARE YOU SERIOUS"... my novel has no hope I'm afraid. XDD
