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

Rating: 5 stars  

I love the Office of Letters and Lights and their National Novel Writing Month project. I have written novels as a part of NaNoWriMo for the past two years, and last year, I got a new group of folks involved by starting an online group to support our mutual novel writing. Everyone has a great story to tell, and NaNoWriMo and OLL help make this possible for lots of folks who wouldn't otherwise take the first step. Thank you!

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

Rating: 5 stars  

I participated in the Office of Letters and Light's NaNoWriMo challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. The motivation of the program and the encouragement of the community at OLL encouraged me to write even more....and now I am almost completed with a 150,000 novel that I am very proud of. OLL and NaNoWriMo helped me take my passion for writing and channel it to complete something significant and meaningful.

I appreciate everything OLL does and look forward to participating again in the future. Thank you OLL!

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

writing a great novel and becoming inspired to write more and explore my creative potential.

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

help it grow bigger and extend its reach. This is such a great program!

Role:  Donor & I found inspiration to write a novel in a month and connected with a great community.
