What an adventure!
What awesome people us Maine writers are...
And so many winners ...
We had 1,829,641 words as a state!!! .. Which is #34 of all regions in Nano!!! ... Great job ...
Me and my wife also got 50,000 words as did Kendra, WriAnimator .....
We beat Sweden and Philadelphia .. and missed beating Oklahoma by only 12,000 words ...
Here at the Maheux/Davis-Quinn house, we were both winners ...
I ended up with 56,695 words and Lanna had 50,100 ....
Lanna wanted to make sure she had as much drama as possible ... She had under 25,000 words at 2 pm Saturday ... Since then she has been on a tear with 7,000 on Saturday and 4,000 or more every other day ....
She had only 1,000 words left around 10:30 and then her computer refused to work... I unfortunately was at the Great Lost Bear and had to run back and give her a computer ....
She got to 50,000 on her book from Microsoft Word wordcounter by writing the very,very,very,very,very,very,very,very,very,very end ....
I am so proud of her .. .She was officially a winner at 11:53 pm ... just 7 minutes before the deadline .. Lanna Maheux-Quinn rocks ..
So there are 50 Winners in Maine!!!! WOWWWWW!!!!! ... 50 of us passed 50,000 words out of 207 in the state . .Give yourself all a hand!!
Well I will see you all tomorrow at the Village Cafe in Portland ..... Village Cafe is on Newbury St. in Portland. If you need more in depth directions, feel free to email me. ... The thank god its over party starts at 5:30...
It was also great to meet some more of you at the Great Lost Bear! .... That is one of the great beer bars in the country #4 in America according to beeradvocate.com

Actually Edmund, there are only 139 people from Maine doing nano this year, the rest are all old, unused names from past years.
But, that gives us almost 36% completion rate for Maine. That is much higher than overall % from past years for all of nano. (did that make any sense?)
Anyway, we did really well comparatively speaking.
Now I'm just babbling.

And me, I had to work so much during the month of November, that I didn't get to work on it as much as I wanted to.
Man. Sam's club may have interesting characters in it, but it sucks the creativity out of you in other ways.
