Ooooh, how about entering Amazon's second annual Breakthrough Novel Award Contest? They're offering a $25,000 publishing contract with Penguin Books, with submissions due in February 2009. Details are at the bottom of I Wrote a Novel, Now What? on the NaNo site, which has some other great ideas for what to do now that NaNo's over and real life begins again.

Personally I think I'm going to edit my book and then upload the first 10,000 words to Authonomy to see if HarperCollins will publish it since they publish gay romance. There's never been a gay romance with Nazis before, though, so I dunno. Waaaaaaah! There's no point in me doing the CreateSpace thing NaNo's offering—I can't afford a vanity publisher. Doh!

So what are the rest of you doing? Decided yet?
