Patrece,

I recommend you go to NaNoWriMo.org and read their FAQ. If you are using them to track your word count, you can install a widget here on WDC that pulls it from them and displays it here. And they have lots of fun stuff in the forums, and many areas organize local brick-and-mortar writing groups around nano, and etc.

Also, check in with the various boards here on WDC. As a Winner, you've won access to boards specifically for challenge winners and runners-up, but also check out the open WDC NaNo board, "The WDC NanoLounge" , which is run by Story Master and has links with instructions for the above-mentioned widget and lots of other good information.

Regards,
