Thanks so much for all your encouragement and feedback in November, everyone! Like Ed, I reached my NaNoWriMo goal yesterday. I’ve decided not to verify/win since I’m a NaNoRebel — I worked on two pieces, not just one. I’m still more than happy with what I got out of NaNoWriMo, and for writing 50k during the month. I’m still not finished writing the first draft of my second novel, so am now working toward that.
I’ve posted the last NaNoWriMo comic above. Some of you have asked if I can continue it throughout the year. I’m flattered but I have to say no – unfortunately I don’t have time to keep up a daily comic in addition to all my other projects. Do keep checking my Inkygirl blog for other comics, though, and I’ll be starting up my Will Write For Chocolate strip again.
I did take some time during the month to answer a question sent to me for the NaNo Q&A column but it looks like they didn’t have time to post it…so I’m posting it below. Good luck with your writing, everyone, and thanks again for your support.

Debbie, you’ve made a cartoon for every day of NaNoWriMo for your website, inkygirl.com. What inspired you to make Nano-based comics?
I created daily NaNoWriMo comics for the official NaNoWriMo site for two years in a row. The following year, Chris Baty said he didn’t need my comics for the site any more. This was fine, of course, but I missed doing them so decided to post them in my Inkygirl site instead.
Being a past and current NaNoWriMo participant, I figure that a little humor might help writers get past any rough spots on their NaNoWriMo journey. The NaNo forums are a huge inspiration, plus I’m also getting help from my readers, who help decide what happens in the storyline.
Sorry for being so brief, but I have to get back to my NaNoWriMo writing now. Good luck with writing, everyone!

I have nothing really all that constructive to say. Just two things.
Congrats on reaching 50, and ♥ for the cartoon.
Awww! Nice ending for Ed and Moxie; they will be missed.
I plan to enjoy your other comedic endeavors, however.
So you will be seeing me on ‘I write for chocolate’.
Thank you for all of your hard work and the time you have given us!
I love this ending. These comics are great and I don’t understand why there isn’t room for them now on the Nano site. On the other hand, it’s nice that we get more input here and you get the chance to tell us more about how you’re doing.
Congrats on getting to 50k!
Love the final instalment. I’ll miss my daily comic hit, but I’ll be dropping by your site regularly for all the other wonderful writerly information I find here and I work on my December writing project. Good luck with your second novel draft.
Will you continue to do Ed and Moxie comics throughout the year? They’re so cute I’d love to read more – even if it isn’t everyday.
Aw, this is absolutely adorable. I really love Ed; he’s such a cutie, heh.
You were literally a huge factor in my enjoyment of my first NaNoWriMo. Thank you.
Wonderful comics, I absolutely loved every installment. I’m really looking forward to some more Will Write For Chocolate strips.
And finally, congratulations on reaching 50k!
I really enjoyed NaNoWriMo comics this month! Moxie and Ed are delightful. And congratulations on reaching 50k!
What happened to Day 20? I don’t think it is in your list of days.
And that was an awesome job you did for the month, great cartoons!
aaaaaaw ^^ so cute!
I want to thank you for these amazing, amusing cartoons. Like Diff, I think they were one of the best parts of NaNo!
Awww, such a sweet ending! I can imagine them revising together… Maybe they should take a two month break first.
I LOVE the last panel. Thanks so much for these comics!
Thank you so much for sharing these. They really helped me get through the third week when I felt like I wouldn’t make it. Reading this as the last thing that I would do for Nano this year and its the perfect ending. Thank you for these wonderful characters inspiring me to actually finish my first Nano.
That was the perfect way to ‘end’ it =)
Aww, that’s a sweet…and telling…ending.
Congrats on making your 50k.
Congratulations on reaching 50k!
Moxie and Ed really encouraged me during NaNo. Thanks a million for doing these wonderful comics!
Do you think Moxie and Ed will make an appearance again next November?
Aww…=)
This comic was awesome. You should pick this back up next November, its a great little break during NaNo.
Thank you so much for drawing these webcomics. Several times this past month, I came here for a quick humor pick-me-up. This definitely helped me win NaNoWriMo this year.
Congratulations on making 50k!
Yayyy
Aww, I hope Moxie and Ed come back next year
Awh, it ended
I’ll miss them.
This was like my favorite part of the day.
Thank you and congrats!
Oh, and I adore Ed’s face in the 5th window.
*sigh*
I’ll miss Ed and Moxie. Thanks for sharing them for the month.
Ah! I wish I’d found you earlier. I could have used your delicious cartoons during this past month!
