As you might have guessed, I did not complete NaNoWriMo this year. That made me sad. The first two years I participated, I completed it. And it felt great! But whatever it is that I need, in order to finish, I didn’t have this time. That’s why I was so delighted when Lara made this:

A NaNoWriMo losing badge! Now those of us who couldn’t quite make it across the finish line and stick it to the running dude with his pencil! Right in the guts! Don’t get me wrong, I love the NaNo, I donated money and bought t-shirts, same as every year. And I’ll be back next year, raring to go. It really can be the most fun.

Also, it should be noted that Lara has started a new site called FreeWiFiCafes which you should all check out. She has a really good excuse for being a loser. A NaNo loser! Not a general overall loser. Which she’s not. She climbs mountains for pete’s sake. Big ones. In Africa and shit.

Also, I’d like to give a shout out to Christine, for finishing her novel. Way to go, xtine! You rule! Whoop! Whoop!

And finally, let it be known that it is SNOWING at my house! Hooray! It became more and more difficult not to watch the traffic cams, as the snow started to fall this afternoon. It was not sticking in Seattle, where I work. But it’s sticking at my house. I might be working from home tomorrow. In my jammies. If so, you can all watch me do it on my webcam! Oh my god, how exciting would that be? So exciting. I look like this, while I work. A lot. Over and over. All day.
