Don't forget to validate! In order to get the shiny purple winners bar and all the swag that comes with it, you need to validate your novel. To do this, mouse over the My NaNoWriMo tab in the header, then click on Validate My Novel (about halfway down the list). Paste your novel in the box. If you want to scramble it before submitting it, that's fine. A simple search and replace of various letters should make it unreadable.

― Maya Angelou
