50,019 words, with 2.5 hours to spare!
I was a little nervous, because you have to upload your draft to their web site, which has a word-count validator, and they recommend that you write several hundred words beyond 50K, just in case, and I simply didn't have any words left to write or energy to write them, so I only managed 19 words past 50K, and thankfully, that was enough (their word count validator shows me at 50,013 - I've no idea why MS Word says I have six more words than that, but I don't bloody care).
Absolutely everything that could get in my way (and on my nerves) did - travel, work overload, cold-that-turned-into-upper-respiratory-infection, and a ton of other things. I guess sometimes, you've just gotta write, no matter what. Thank you to the fairies, who magically helped me to find the time. I couldn't have done it otherwise. And thanks for keeping me company, Grandpa.
Like I said before, it's a horrible story. More like lots of stories patched together that the main characters dance around. Still, a draft is a draft.
Ok, sleep now bye bye
