Need another great reason to keep those sights set on 50K? Our fantastic sponsor CreateSpace, whose sponsorship helped fund NaNoWriMo and the Young Writers Program this year, is offering all NaNoWriMo 2008 winners a free proof copy of your manuscript in paperback book form. They’ll even cover basic postage! We’ll post details on the Special Offers page and the "I Wrote a Novel, Now What?" page on December 1.
If you have any questions before then please drop the good folks at CreateSpace an email or check out their community boards.
Meanwhile, back in the trenches, I sent out a pep talk tonight challenging everyone in NaNoLand to get to 15,000 words by bedtime on Monday. For those of you who are already booking on towards 25K and 30K, please keep writing fearlessly and know that we’ll see you at the finish line. Please also know that I’ll be using my site admin status to quietly siphon off your excess words so I can put them in my own progress bar.
Sorry about that.
Bwa ha ha.

CAN’ YOU BELIEVE THAT?! I could get my manuscript in a paperback form? Do you know hwo fucking AWESOME that would be?
I seriously have to finish. There is no doubt. This isn’t the first book I’d want published like that, but I’ll take it! oh man!!!

*Edit: Oh my lord, I just looked at the site. it is SO COOL. Like seriously, i’m like all tingly cuz this is exactly the sort of thing I have been wishing I could do! They will actually advertise the books and then when people buy them, they get their cut and then i get the whatever is left! can you believe that?! And really, with the MOST AWESOME response of so many of you that read my stuff,i thinkI could ACTUALLY do it. wouldn’t that be unreal?

I’m probably the only person on the planet out of the loop on NANOWRIWHATTHEHELLEVERITISMO. From what I’ve gathered from fav’s entries, it a story someone is telling and you have so many words you have to complete by a certain timeframe… I’m probably so wrong. My book would be the shortest ever – I’m not that creative and don’t have that much to say. =

AH! that is sooo cool, but please refrain from peeing yourself… it will only kill your good mood. *SMILES*

Dude… I looked around and YEAH! That is awesome, because… yeah. YEAH… and I do like the fact that you can set the price, therefor getting more customers. I didn’t get a choice in setting the price on my first book, and it was so high that it turned people off to buying it.
