We had 15,333 folks cross the finish line this year, which was a new record for us. Way to go, champions of 2007! And now a word to those of you who didn't win. If you missed the 50K goal, you might be feeling a little disappointed. Or embarrassed. Maybe you're just reading this to help dig that guilt-knife a little deeper into your spleen. Yet another project where you started out strong and came up short, right?
Wrong. If you signed up for the challenge and wrote 5,000 words, you did great. Successfully pulling off anything creative given our ridiculously high standards and congenitally overscheduled lives is a miracle, and sometimes that battle just can't be won in a single month. Even 1000 words is an achievement, and more fiction than mos t people write in their entire lifetimes. So keep writing. Next year, we'll be doing it all over again. The great thing about noveling is that you learn something invaluable every time you do it.
