The winners circle

28 November 2005

Congrats to all the other NaNoWriMo winners. Although technically Steve is still at 47,000 words and is MIA. So it's entirely possible he just off and moved to London, in which case I retract that statement of congratulations to him because he didn't finish his novel. Although I suspect he'll pull through at the last minute and have a final count of 82,064 words.

I might live to regret saying this, but knowing about how many people read this site think I should be relatively safe. For all the other NaNo participants, you should know that last year Lulu offered one free printed copy of your finished manuscript to all winners. I designed a book cover for Steve, and, well, he was the only one who wanted one. It just so happens they're extending their offer to this year's winners as well.

w00!!!

I'm doing his second cover, quite obviously due to my big mouth, and one for myself. I'll offer to do one for Char too but I'm guessing she'll want to do one herself. Anyway, the point is I'm happy to, um, help out other winners with their books any way that I can. Nano winners gots to stick together. And if you want a pretty bookcover for your finished novel drop me a line. We'll have a little tawk, over some coffee.

More importantly, NaNoWriMo is ancient history and I CAN FINALLY TAKE SOME NEW PICTURES!!! Let me be the first to get a THANK. GOD. up in this beyotch.

I think after my writing trauma, I will be more than happy to take you up on your offer. But like the goof that I am I totally changed my title...so when I come up with one (i'm thinking as I'm typing) I will drop you a line ;). Thanks and it feels 1derful to be in the Nano winners clique!

I think you should ask your readers to (attempt to) design a cover for you. You could post you favorites to Flickr to share the good and humiliate the bad.

If I wrote more words than Char, do I get a cover too?
I mean, obviously it's gonna be a thin book...
