Well, today is 11-29-08 and I made it to 50,030 words! But it is a hollow victory, because when I tried to upload it for verification, nothing happened. It looks like I spent a month (and a donation) speaking to a hollow site. I wish you better luck.

I hope that you've been able to check back with the help request you filed in the Tech Help forum.
Please don't give up. We need more information to help you out.
Congrats for finishing the novel (the ultimate achievement).

I know that when I loaded my novel into the word checker I thought, "Wow, nothing has happened."
Then I remembered from doing things like my novel excerpts that there was a submit button at the bottom of the page.
I hit the submit button and seconds later, I was a winner!

Try again! Sometimes servers and things decide to annoy us, but you can't let them win.
