Hey everyone :smt106
I was just wondering, once you're done your NaNo where do you put it? Do you post it somewhere, or does it just sit on your desk and collect dust?

Edit it like crazy. Send it to CreateSpace, and they'll self publish it and send you a copy, I believe. And then you get a shiny new book!

You can post it on YWS if you'd like some critiques.

Just write -- the rest of life will follow.

Would love help on this.

Nope, CreateSpace is offering NaNo winners one free copy of their manuscript in trade book form.

Basically, they'll print it as a book like you'd buy in the store. Valid for six months, so you have time to edit!

Of course, you have to verify & win with the NaNo website in order to get it.

Go to www.nanowrimo.org, sign up, and under the "Novel Info" section, you can copy/paste in your manuscript and it'll count the words for you.
