Life after NaNoWriMo

Yes, there is life after NaNoWriMo and there will be talk of other things on the forums. Go and see!

The support of Kiwi Writers for NaNoWriMo has been amazing and it just goes to show was a fun and vibrant place Kiwi Writers has become. New Zealanders did an amazing job this year. The 303 participants clocked up 5,330,392 words producing 70 winners. NaNoWriMo 2007 had 101,326 participants who wrote a total of 1,098, 496,066 words, that's 1 billion words. 15,327 participants won with some even writing 100,000 words in the month. Congratulations to every one of the 101,326.

Another fantastic thing that has come out of NaNoWriMo are all of our new Kiwi Writer members, all 25 of you! Welcome to the community and we hope you find the inspiration, challenge and support you are looking for.

December 3rd is officially Kiwi Writers Update Your Profile Day! Our new Kiwi Writers Guide for New Members will tell you all you need to know to update your profile and settings.

2008 has a lot in store for us here at Kiwi Writers. Not only will we be celebrating our 1st birthday in February we will have second year packed with all of our great site challenges and even more member challenges. There will be the Waitangi Weekend Word Wace, Zing Thing challenges, SoCNoC and the all important The End Is Nigh. With member challenges the inspiration is endless.

2008 will also see some fun new things on the site including the promised Excerpts, a slightly revved up interface with dropdown menus replacing the left hand menus, subscriptions to forum topics, a spunky new home page to give you greater access to all areas of Kiwi Writers and maybe our very own chatroom.

Join us and stay tuned. It only gets better.
