I've published my Nanowrimo novel on Read/Write Web as an HTML file. The PDF version will have to wait till Monday. I tried to use the Adobe Online Conversion service, but I couldn't get the file size under 600KB for some reason (which is odd because the Word file is only 350KB). So I'll use Distiller at my work on Monday.
Update, Monday 1 Dec: A PDF version of my novel is now available:

I just want to congratulate you again on the awesome accomplishment of writing your first novel in 30 days. I'm looking forward to reading the entire revised or final version. I think you've done the by far hardest thing which is to write a novel. Now you know what that's like and that you can do it. I'm hoping you'll fill in bits here and there so I can read it again. Sort of like when you see a movie and then you see the director's cut. Bye for now. Good luck with your web redesign!

Thanks Janet, I appreciate all the comments you've made over the last month. Certainly helped my morale at times. Maybe next year you'll enter the Nanowrimo contest? I can tell you it's a very worthwhile (even though time-consuming) exercise if you're at all interested in writing.

Your more than welcome. It was a pleasure. Thanks for the suggestion Richard. I might very well do that. By watching you write the story over time like I watched, I got more of a sense of what's involved in writing a novel. It seems more approachable. I think I do want to try it. It will be tough to take the plunge. Hope to do it next year! And, I really want you to tell us more about the process and I'm looking forward to v1.0 of your novel. Best.
