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

Rating: 5 stars  

I'm a high school senior and have been participating with NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy for three years, winning five out of six times. I adore the atmosphere that OLL manages to create - this was the first year I decided to venture out of my bubble and attend a write-in, and while I didn't get much writing done, I had a great time chatting and complaining with fellow writers.

Being a high school student, I'm not financially independent, so I often feel guilty about not being able to fully give back to OLL, so I'm happy with this opportunity to talk about what a wonderful organization they are. They inspire creative writing, something that I feel my school does not stress enough, and they encourage their participants to just keep writing - and I have! Improvement comes with practice, and my practice was definitely a result of the weekly e-mails (or even daily!) I received from OLL during my amazing 30 days-hath-November marathon.
