Well, I won.
50k. Check.
Donated my yearly 25$ to NaNoWriMo. Got my halo. Check.
Got pleasantly drunk to celebrate my achievement. Check.
Now I need to brag about it on the forum. But wait! There is not winner thread!
Well now there is.
I know I'm not the only one, so come on, let's see you all congratulate yourselves :)

Word to you, my fellow Israeli winner.
May your words never be deleted, may your counts always grow larger.
Keep writing!

Yeah team!
I want to thank all of those kind concerned individuals who would from time to time send me an email saying "What's happening? or " Why is your word count slacking?" and other such considerate reminders. They helped!
Although it wasn't as hard as last year (amazing, the more you walk the easier it gets!), there were plenty of opportunities to lose track of priorities (marriage, family, work etc.)
If any of the Israeli WriMo's want to start some sort of loose literary group all year round, let me know. I'd definitely be interested in being involved.
Hoping to meet as many of you as possible at the TGIO party in Tel Aviv.
Ciao,

אז סיימתי, את הנאנו, לא את הסיפור. נראה לי שאני אצטרף עוד איזה 30,000 מילה כדי לסיים את הסיפור עצמו.
לא מרגישה התרגשות, לא מרגישה שימחה. מרגישה בעיקר עייפה. ממשיכה לנסות לשמור על אלף מילה יומיים כדי לסיים את הספר, נראה אם זה ילך.
צריכה דחוף לעידוד ופרגון. לרוב באנשים שסיפרתי להם שאני כותבת נאנו\ספר היה לא באמת אכפת.
אני אארגן קבוצת כתיבה בחודשים הקרובים. בתל אביב או בבנימינה, נראה היכן יהיה יותר ביקוש.
האם מישהו רוצה לנדב מקום קרוב לתחנת רכבת בתל אביב :-)?
פרטים נוספים יהיו בפורום כותבי מד"ב ופנטזיה של תפוז

רוב האנשים לא ממש מבינים למה שמישהו יעשה כזה דבר.
למרות שאני קיבלתי הרבה תמיכה מחברים בנאנו הראשון שלי, זו הייתה תמיכה מסוג של:
"כל הכבוד! אבל אתה קצת מטורף ."
לפעמים כותבים גם כשממש לא בא. גם לחגוג צריך לפעמים כשממש לא בא. בשבילי היה חשוב לעצור אחרי 50,000 מילה, למרות שלא היה נראה לי שעשיתי משהו מיוחד, וללכת לחגוג איכשהו. להודיע למישהו, אפילו אם הם לא יבינו. לשתות כוסית, אפילו אם זה לבד. ללכת לפורומים של הנאנו ולהשוויץ.
עשית משהו שרוב האנשים אפילו לא מעזים לחלום. תביעי קצת הערכה לעצמך.
ואם את צריכה עידוד ופרגון, אז הנה:
----------כל הכבוד! אבל (כמו כולנו) את קצת מטורפת

Well, i post my need for motivation or encourage at MY LJ, and i have friends around the world (which i learnt to know from writing and reading fanfiction, that not let me to give up writing, and for that i thank them).
Now, i did a lot in-between reading of Mag 7 stories, which i find more than LOTR, as i love how the authors using open AU, better than LOTR, and i open to read everything but HET... i love reading both slash and gen in many fandoms which i took part and enjoyed writing them.
Which reminds me, that i have about 6 challenges to finish from Dec7 until Dec25...
