NaNoWriMo has partnered with Amazon's CreateSpace to give winners last year free copies of their printed manuscript.

So provided I can navigate their program, "Later, Skater" may sometime soon be available via Amazon.com as well as Lulu.

How do they define "winners"? I didn't realize it was a contest. -- nm - mara Oct 24, 11:34 20

    - Well, of course. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 11:38

- You had to have submitted at least 50,000 words to their bean counter by the end of November. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:35 15
  - My next novel will be "The Boy Who Said 'Blah Blah Blah' Continuously." -- nm - mara Oct 24, 11:37 14

      - Toss in a couple "fuck"s and ham-handed jokes, and it could be a Chuck Palanhiuk novel. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 11:42
    - Enjoy your shitty novel. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:38 10
      - But I'd be a winner! -- nm - mara Oct 24, 11:41 8
        
        Coming across as a loser to me. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:45 7
        
        Sorry, Qale, you're my bud and I have a lot of respect for your writing. I was just being sarcastic about their use of the word "winner" and didn't - mara Oct 24, 11:48 1
        
        Maybe I should have copy pasta'd their answer from the FAQ. - Qale Oct 24, 11:50

        Not in the slightest. It's just her diminishing the concept of winning at NaNoWriMo is insulting. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:47 3
        
        Oh, c'mon now. It's a little silly. Ultimately you are doing it for yourself. Their designation of "winner" is almost meaningless. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 11:50
        
        the "everyone is a winner thing" kinda sounds like crap, honestly. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 11:49 1
        
        Everyone isn't a winner. You only win if you submit the 50,000 words and if you're going to just submit the same word 50,000 times, what's the point? -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:54
      - That's "The Boy Who Said 'Crap Crap Crap' 49,994 Times." - JaxSean Oct 24, 11:40
coolness! I really need to get my head around my story this year. - JaxSean Oct 24, 11:33 1
- It's very fortunate this year starts on a weekend! -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 11:35
Wow, that's cool. That tempts me even more to attempt it this year. - TFox Oct 24, 11:32
