NaNoWriMo Writers - Did You Reach 50,000?!?

What was your NaNoWriMo story about? How many words did you write? How do you feel now that it's over?

Mine is a Beauty and the Beast style story set in ancient Egypt. It is called "The Pharaoh". It's finished at 66,000+ words. And I must say that I feel great about completing a novel in 30 days!

@Pickled Emerald Yes, I did. I had a co-author. This was my first NaNo, so she did it with me.

CONGRATULATIONS!! :)
I finished 'Orange Peels' (it's about two young children who are on their own after being exiled for having "strange" abilities and not being entirely human) about five minutes ago barely making the cut with 50,014 words... I just feel really giddy and kind of like a free bubble xD

I thought you wrote that with someone else?

Yeah, I did reach the 50,000.
I feel indifferent about it.
I've kind of lost the motivation to finish this now. The novel itself is terrible, and the writing is even worse. It's unsalvageable.
