...the way I see myself as an accomplished writer (instead of feeling like an imposter).
Somehow find a way for it to have been around when I was a child! It's the best.

I had the opportunity to write 50,000 words and to really get to know some of the writers in Spokane
Not much, really. I liked the way it was set up. I'm sure it's hard to organize something this big.

my own personal experience as a writer and as a teacher. My own participation has encouraged me to stay dedicated to my craft, and the participation of my students has allowed them to see writing from a fresh and exciting perspective.
suggest that they hire me. :)

So many people believe that external motivation is the only way to reward people. Here, internal motivation-- the only kind that really matters-- is presented and realized as the primary drive behind successful participation. Yes, OLL supports participants, but "What do I get if I win?" is not an important enough question to merit significant focus.

student confdence and achievement levels.
give them more funding to carry on the great work that they do!
My motivation, my sense of belonging, emotional and technological support. Result: 253,000 words in a week less than a full year.
Give them more money to make the technological upgrades they need to make MY NaNo experience all the better and more rewarding.

Possibly through Neil Gaiman's blog back in 2002.
Setting myself a difficult goal and encouraging me towards it, then rewarding me so much for reaching it, and making me want to do it all over again.
my writing life, my social life. I met several dear friends through NaNo, one of whom asked me to be maid of honour at her wedding. And I wouldn't trade the NaNo experience of sheer gruelling hard work for anything.
give them enough money so that their servers never crash again.

The NaNoWriMo program.
Because they needed the money.
That it does priceless work and needs to be widely promoted and funded.
