Ok, so I’ve never really liked the FTW=For The Win abbreviation, but I’m meme-sensitive and it’s taken hold.
We’ll try this another way.

How’s that? No? Ok, what about this:

In case the message isn’t getting through, I am an official NaNoWriMo winner. Winner in the “Everyone is a winner provided the set ‘everyone’ includes only people who wrote 50,000 words in the month of November” sense of the word. It’s a semi-prestigious club, populated by approximately 18% of the NaNo community. I’m in the top fifth, baby!
I’m going to leave this nice, celebretory post up for a day before I get into the ugly of what writing 50,000 words in a month is really like, and the even bigger ugly of what the result of that was.
For today, though, let it be known far and wide! Eric Sipple earned a JPEG of a viking ship by writing 50,000 words in the month of November!
