Well, Nanowrimo is over for this year. I hope everyone had a fun time writing like maniacs, even if you didn't reach 50k. And if you did reach the goal--yay! Congratulations! And perhaps I will see you around next year.

An additional note: Previously, I had wanted to rant about people not reading the directions, but then I deleted it. Then again, some people probably didn't remember: This year is the first year that Nanowrimo had a mock validator throughout most of November. It proved to be helpful for the people who did not trust their own word processor's word count. Actually, no one trusts their word processor's word count, but uploading to the Nano site showed you what the validator saw--especially if you were planning to do the minimum amount. In 2001, there was no validator--getting to 50k was all on the honor system. In 2002-2004, there was no mock validator so word counts entered prior to the validator's availability was on the honor system.
