My Nonprofit Reviews

Since 2006, I have participated in and won the five NaNoWrimo contests in which I've participated. From the outset I was nervous about the prospect-- writing 50,000 words in 30 days, but it was worth a shot. In the process of meeting the goal in the first year and those following, I found that I genuinely enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that comes with being a participant.

Sure, it's good to be actively creating and doing something I like to do, but NaNoWriMo is much more than that. Through this program, I've been able to interact with aspiring authors from the Netherlands, Wales, England, and Scotland. I've also been able to attend several local events that bring together like-minded folks in an evening of forging new friendships, inanity, and creative fusion.

And at the end, when the dust settles, it's ridiculously marvelous how satisfying a purple WINNER bar and a downloadable PDF certificate can feel-- especially when it's sits on top of a 50k+ document that has flowed from within you.
