I won! I won!

November 28, 2007

Nano_07_winner_large_2

It’s not good, and it’s not really fiction, and it’s not done, but I WON! I’m really happy. And I’m not writing tomorrow. Or the next day. Wooooot! I think I’m going to go buy a book for my reward. Hoooray!

    CONGRATULATIONS! The book reward sounds entirely fair.
    I’ve only been doing NaBloPoMo, but I guess I’ve already rewarded myself plenty for not yet imploding (hi, etsy, I love you too).
    Congratulations again! Sounds like Lala should take her favorite writer out for dinner…

    Yet again you’re rockin’ my world.
    I mean this in a purely platonic sort of way, so don’t let Lala come and pugilate me! *g*

    Yeah Rachel!! My 17 yo daughter finished too (1st win, 5th try), and my friends and family just don’t get what a BIG deal finishing is. I just ordered her a pile of stuff from the nano store for presents (her birthday is right after Christmas)She’s a Rachel too.
    The tree looks great. Mine will go up tomorrow, firmly tied to the bookcase so the house beasties can’t knock it over (lesson learned the hard way!) And what a special Christmas it will be for you, with Digit home!!

    OHMYGOD! Congratulations, woman! We here in snowy NY state are duly impressed.
    And I promise not to take any bribes that might cause injury to your fingers or wrists at Rhinebeck 2008–you know, from the other competitors. No sirree!! I wouldn’t DO that! (Might get you sh*tass drunk though and glean all your highly detailed plot secrets, but hey…you’d do the same. So shut it.)
