Yep, I won! I won once before, in 2006, but I needed to kick-start my brain in terms of writing and NaNo-ing again seemed like a good way to do it. It was freaking hard, though!
The secret to NaNo is to not look back. Don't re-read what you already wrote. Don't edit as you go. If you realize you changed something halfway through, don't fix it. Just keep going and get at least 1,667 words down a day (or catch up on weekends, like I did). I'm going to be posting my progress graph and dissecting my NaNo experience in a blog post soon, if you're interested.
