I especially want to congratulate those who had never written a novel in a month before. Following through is a mighty feat.

And slightly off-topic, but I love teaching language arts in December and January. I ditch all of the worksheets and print out the kids own writing. That way, when they need to circle all of the nouns they're circling their own nouns. I especially like teaching antonyms, because then they get mixed up stories that are tons of fun.
