My Nonprofit Reviews
Corey L.
Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
After trying this for the first time several years ago, I gave up having failed to write my first book. However, I rediscovered the program two years later and finished my novel within the word count. If it was the for the encouragement of my friends and other participants I wouldn't have been able to hit the unbelievable 50k word count. This year, as a volunteer with the organization, I was able to bring in more people, and share the fun and experience with others. NaNoWriMo has not only given me the chance to give another creative outlet a chance and to succeed at it, but is also gave me the chance to encourage other writers and work with and inspire others to tackle such a wonderful and amazing task!
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
2007, which I sorely fell short of finishing my novel. However last year in 2009 I finished my first run. Then this year, 2010, I was able to volunteer with the organization and hit a personal record word count of 80k.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
reach out to more people, and continue to let more youth into the program. Writing is a fun and powerful too. Through the organization I met several new friends and creative individuals.
