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

Rating: 5 stars  

I've always struggled to discipline myself to write, particularly longer projects, which means that I've never actually managed to get more than a few chapters into a novel before being discouraged and giving up. NaNoWriMo - and the lovely people at OLL - encouraged me to stick at it, and I finished 50,000 words in a month, more than I've ever done before. I'm now editing and writing the second half of what I hope will be my debut novel, and have a pitch meeting with a group of agents later this year. There's no way I can overestimate how much OLL and their work has helped me.

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

...the realisation of my dream to write more than a few chapters of a novel!

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

...have it run NaNoWriMo twice a year - you can't have too many opportunity to get that much work done!

Role:  Donor & I took part in NaNoWriMo and wrote 50,000 words in 30 days.
