I won NaNoWriMo. Just finished this evening, about an hour before the deadline. Almost had a heart attack yesterday when I thought I'd accidentally deleted 8,000 words. Turns out I had, but (they were all bad, lol) I had the file in Dropbox, so I was able to revert.
I posted about my unique experience in Green Bank, WV-they believe they can contact aliens down there. My co-worker read it and thought it was a short story instead of a real life experience LOL. Would love to hear about strange places other people have visited... http://yawattahosby.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/west-virginias-roswell/

1 Guest blog about family, on Let's Get Happy.
2 Guest blogs on Speaking in Public. The first one, which was a collaboration, talks about how audiences should behave. The second is dealing with mistakes.
And one post about Chinese Tea Scams, and a story of me kicking a con artist in the stomach and running away.
