Who Crossed the Finish Line?

Well, those of us who partook in NaNoWriMo this year must know: did you cross the finish line?

I didn’t. I am bringing up the rear, however (if only I could do that literally), with an added 11,000 words on my novel in progress, plus a couple thousand other words on shorter projects that I took deliberate liberties — deliberties? — to write when I felt like I’d never catch up anyway.
