The end-of-event stats blog post has become one of my favorite NaNoWriMo traditions (and I derive great pleasure from looking at these stats posts from years past, too…). I hope you enjoy devouring this year’s numbers as much as I enjoyed compiling them!

This is my first time to use tumblr and it’s a little weird.  I had to create a blog that only I could write on as a first blog before I could get one with multiple authors (It’s stardraco.tumblr.com - very lonely.) and then I have to invite you all as only authors and then upgrade you to admins after you join.  By the way, after you’re an admin, please feel free to change anything. I won’t be offended. I hope we get some good posts with ideas for the school.  Maybe some could be practical and others dreamin’ - that would be good I think.
