More on NaNo

Ok, so I had a question about NaNoWriMo, so let me clarify...

1. Winning is another phrase for finishing your 50K word novel in the 30 allotted days.
2. No one sends you a box full of goodies when you win... but you do get:
     a. A NOVEL!!!!!
     b. Bragging rights of afore mentioned novel.
     c. Experience
     d. Access to wonderful "perks" compliments of the Office of Letters and Light
        (who sponsor NaNo)
        These include discounts on writing software, web badges, and things like that.
     e. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
3. No one reads your work except you... and those you choose to let see it.
      Side note here: I have not let anyone read my novel from last year
      (please don't anyone throw tomatoes...!)
      I'm just saying it can be as private as you want.
4. You can write about anything you want. The only requirement is that you set up an account so
      that you can validate your novel before the last day ticks away.
5. It is kinda on the honor system. You could technically lie or cheat, fairly easily, but to what
      end? I mean, the prize is the novel, so it why go to the trouble of pretending?
6. Everyone who has something to say should try this!!!
7. NaNo is fun, and a great learning experience!

 Any more questions??? Anyone? Just leave a comment! :)
