Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Very good fun, and they're very supportive, with witty pep talks which I always enjoy. I am also very pleased with the Office Of Letters And Lights Ready Set Novel Kit, which I was bought for Christmas.

Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

National Novel Writing Month, run by the office of Letters and Light, is, in one word - not 50,000 - brilliant.
Having spent the past ten years of my life writing, without many goals to aim for, this opened up the doors for me and allowed me to do what I've always wanted to do - write a novel.
Aged 15, it was a challenge nonetheless, but I feel that I approached it well, all down to the support I received from the amazing team behind NaNoWriMo, and this lead me to not only beat the target, but reach 65,000 words, a massive achievement for me considering I spent much of November working backstage at a theatre, at school, or doing homework.
Also, the forums there have been brilliant, and I even found out about a new singer who has rapidly become one of my favourites.
All the people are really friendly and the emails we received were brilliant for motivation. Thank you to everyone involved.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

I've seen the achievement of both myself and others, people who didn't think they could reach such high goals. What we did was epic, and it is here that I've truly learnt to write to deadline once more.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Do nothing. It's amazing as it is.
