Thanks a bunch, MLs! Coming from a region without MLs, I can say that having active and awesome ones makes the month so much better!

Drunkard's Walk

A multi-genre collection of stories concerning Christopher Meriwether Livingstone Battersby: a historian and sometimes-inventor with the unfortunate tendency of randomly jumping to alternate worlds.

Woo hoo, take a bow, Lisa and Ian! To be an ML is already hard work, to be an ML with two newborn twins.... now that takes a real Mensch!

Good on you both!

You can have a sound mind in a healthy body.... Or you can be a Nanonovelist!

Yay for Ian and Lisa! Two GREAT ML's! Thank you for everything!

A moment is all it takes to touch someone's life.

Love you guys!!!

Thanks a lot, both of you. :) Here's to the rest of this month, and many more NaNos to come!

Fun fact: those MyBannerMaker image watermarks, in the corner? That's set in Helvetica.
Helveticometer: 55

Indeed, they are the most awesome! This month would be lot more of a slog without their encouragment!

Hip, hip, huzzah!

What they said!

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you everyone for the kind words (and kit for the tasty cookies!). You should know that our ML awesomeness is directly proportional to the awesomeness of the South Bay's writers. You guys are an inspiration for us. We are energized by your energy (there's some sort of freaky induction effect going on, if you ask me - do you ever touch someone after a write-in and feel a spark? Do florescent bulbs light up as you pass by them?) You're the ideal region: enthusiastic, you show up to write-ins, you actually get decent word count, and (most importantly), you obey your MLs and don't cause trouble! :)

Seriously though, there are MLs in other regions who are (and should be) jealous of the amazing community we have here. You all make it easy to ML. So thank you!

I'll echo Ian with a resounding "What he said!" Thanks all for your kind appreciations. It really means a lot to hear them, but even better is seeing every day how much you rock as a region. Your awesomeness makes the hard work all worthwhile.
