NaNoWriMo!

I have offically won! Check out the Winner's Page. I think I am one of 22 writers who have already finished their novels.

And check out: My Profile

And this is from NaNoWriMo:

Congratulations!

Dear Novelist,

It is our pleasure to inform you that National Novel Writing Month's robotic word counters have performed a series of painstakingly calibrated, scientifically sound assessments of your work, and have deemed it to contain the requisite 50,000 words.

This is big news. Every year, about 80% of our participants either give up or fall short of the 50,000-word finish line. Your commitment, discipline, and loquacious fortitude are an inspiration to all of here at NaNoWriMo. You have done something amazing this month, and we are very, very proud of you for it.

Your name and novel title are now inscribed on our hallowed Winners Page.

We recommend you hang the certificate somewhere very visible. To impress good-looking strangers, mostly. But also to remind yourself of the jaw-droppingly astounding achievements you can pull off when you put your mind to it.

We'll see you next year, winner.

With warm regards (and much whistling and applause),

Chris Baty
Director, National Novel Writing Month
