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

Rating: 5 stars  

I can't say enough good things about the Office of Letters and Light, but I'll give it a try. In a whimsical, warm, and wonderful way, they inspire and motivate people of letters--both those who know they are and those who don't yet know they are--to write an entire book. They put back the confidence in those of use who've lost it, and those of us who never had it in the first place. They make it fun. There is no wrong way, and there are no losers, only winners. Personally? I discovered creative paths I never knew existed and even left the ground and flew around for a while. It feels great to create and express one's self; and I'm grateful there's OLL to reassure us it's OK to leave the potato patch for a while and play among the stars.

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

My faith in my future as a writer; my relationship with my daughter (we are writing buddies); my relationship to the local writing community.

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

Clone Chris Baty.
