[Letter From NaNoWroMo's Winners' Page]
You Won!
So it's official.
Our word-counting robots have analyzed your November novel, and they've delivered their final, binding assessment: Winner.
You did it! You did it! You did it!
This was, without a doubt, one of the hardest years on record for NaNoWriMo participants. At some point in the literary marathon, most of your fellow writers fell by the wayside. They lost their books to work, to family, to school, and to the hundreds of other distractions and interruptions that tend to shutter creative undertakings like NaNoWriMo.
But not you. Not this year.
This November, you set out with the ridiculously ambitious goal of bringing an entire world into existence in just 30 days. When the going got tough, you got writing. Now you're one of the few souls who can look back on 2007 as the year you were brave enough to enter the world's largest writing contest, and disciplined enough to emerge a winner.
We salute your imagination and perseverance. The question we ask you now is this: If you were able to write a not-horrible novel in 30 days, what else can you do? The book you wrote this month is just the beginning.
From here on out, the sky's the limit.
We wish you well on your many upcoming adventures, and hope to see you for Script Frenzy in April, and again for NaNoWriMo next November.
Chris BatyProgram Director, NaNoWriMo
NaNoWriMo Writers, Dave salutes you all!

Congratulations! I knew you could do it.
I wasn't so sure! It was like pulling teeth without novacaine. And it's still just a rough draft, so after a break with lots of House episodes and ice cream, it's back to work!
Thanks for the kudos, though!
Congrats! You pretty much accomplished one of the hardest things ever. Yes, it's a rough draft--but most of us don't get out a whole rough draft until 6-12 months or longer. YOu did it in 30 days! Yay!
