Starting today (Sunday, November 25), you can become an official NaNoWriMo YWP winner. It is so easy! Just "Copy" and "Paste" your entire novel into the Word Count Validator. You can find the Validator by signing in and going to "Edit Profile"--->"Author Info."
From now until 11:59:59 PM local time on November 30th, if you paste a word manuscript into the word counter that equals or exceeds your word-count goal, you will become an official NaNoWriMo winner, and will be taken to the special winner's page to collect your winner certificate.
The last chance to become a NaNoWriMo winner is 11:59:59 PM, local time on November 30th. After winning, you can continue to update your word count until 11:59:59 PM local time on November 30th, at which point your 2007 word count will be frozen until the next NaNoWriMo begins in 2008.
Happy week four. You are almost there, so don't even think about giving up!
