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

Rating: 5 stars  

This fall was my second year doing NaNoWriMo, and I also did ScriptFrenzy this April.
NaNoWriMo has been important to me, because it's not easy to find the motivation to sit down and write a novel. (Especially one as long and in such short time as with NaNoWriMo). NaNoWriMo gives you that final kick to start writing, and the motivation to keep going. Without The Office of Letters and Light, I would never have been able to write an entire novel. Not only that, I find that already having written a novel helps me in other areas, e.G. in school. It's easier to write texts, to find a not-completely-hopeless plot and to write it faster.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to donate money to The Office of Letters and Light. I really want to, because doing NaNoWriMo has been very important to me. I wish that writing this review might help OLL to win $5,000.

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

My schoolwork, my personal life (I've met a lot of friends), my apprecation of books and writers.

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

Make it possible to have a word goal of more than 50,000.
