nanowrimo_ljI WON!
Took me 8 years, but hey one of your rebel mods with a 7-year losing streak actually DID IT THIS YEAR!
So even if you haven't won or don't win this year (depending on where you are), celebrate what you did do.
Some of you had power issues, some of you had tech issues, some of you just discovered what you tried wasn't your style.
NaNo isn't just about the words. It's about finding your cheerleaders and doing some self-discovery as a writer. And sometimes it's about realizing that Life Happens, the good bits and the bad bits, and you cannot always keep all the balls in the air.
But look at how far you did come, even if it's under 2k. What you have is probably more than what you started with, yes? (And even if it isn't, I would think you have learned something about yourself anyway even if it's just "I am too busy in November" or "I overloaded myself on projects".) So run with what you have learned here and keep being awesome.
And I can honestly say I could not have done this without all of you.
Thank you all for being such an AWESOME community of fellow writers. :D

Couldn't congratulate you earlier, when I got into the chatroom. A sprint was starting so I couldn't talk, and by the end of it you were gone :(
Still, I wanted to thank you for all the time you put in managing sprints this week. I wouldn't have reached 50k if it weren't for you ! *glomps*
