Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
OLL is all about getting people to write. Sometimes it's professional writers who are looking for community and support, but mostly it's people who just want to write more. For everyone who claims to have a whole novel plotted out in their head, National Novel Writing Month gives them the chance to finally put it on paper. Script Frenzy offers the same opportunity to people who imagine that they have, hidden away under their calm exterior, the soul of a playwright.
Far more important than either of these programs is the Young Writing Program, which goes out into the community to teach children the art of writing. Giving children the opportunity to learn to craft stories instead of watching TV is priceless.
