So here we are, the keyboard is finally quiet. The November of Madness lies in ruins behind me. I had adjusted my goal to try to hit Iron Noder - Mithril status, but I came up six shy. I did give it all I had, so I am happy with my progress. I have a suspicion that there were quite a few folks that were not too pleased with seeing my name in the writeups by type superdoc. Sorry, old friends.

For NaNoWriMo, I did get a good first draft of a western completed at 112K words, plus some papers for my MFA classes and a short story that I sent off to a publisher.

My hands and wrists feel like I had a family of sixteen professional cloggers dancing on my palms and wrists. I don't think I'll be noding as much in the next few days...

For the other folks who hit the Iron Noder status, congratulations!
