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

Rating: 5 stars  

Last November I participated in the NaNoWriMo, organized by the nonprofit "Office of Letters and Light". It was an amazing experience and very well organized. During this strenuous month I got several e-mails that helped me a great deal to survive that month of writer's madness. These pep talks came from different people, some of them experienced writers, who shared their knowledge and experiences in writing with us participants. Nov 2010 was my first NaNo, but surely not my last one. It's a great experience to try to sit down and write regularly. Everyone should try it, even if you don't reach your personal goal. You will certainly learn something from this experience!

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

...winning my personal NaNoWriMo. I did it and finished my first novel (although it is not publishable - but I did it!)

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

...do nothing. It seems to me that everything is perfect right now.

Would you volunteer for this group again?

Definitely

For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?

A lot

Did the organization use your time wisely?

Very Well

Would you recommend this group to a friend?

Definitely

Role:  Volunteer & I learned to write a novel in only 30 days. The repeated process of sitting down and trying to write (and shutting up your inner editor) helped me a great deal.
