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

Rating: 5 stars  

I live in Australia and subscribe to an English writer's magazine where, on the 30th October last year, saw an article on NaNoWriMo. I had written one novel and was keen to start on another so decided to give it a go. I wasn't sure if I could achieve 50,000 words in a month but registered anyway. To my delight I found we had a local coordinator who was on the ball so received regular communication via the net. It was wonderful to log on, post my day's wordage and see the graph keep the line climbing. For various family reasons I couldn't get to the weekly 'write ins' but would have had it been possuble. I discovered I was never short of an idea to write about and have created characters which, although they need development, inspire me to continue developing the story. And I reached the magic 50,000 words into the bargain. My life is quite complicated at the moment and it will be another month before i can resume my writing journey. Can't wait to get back to it and extremely grateful to NaNoWri Mo for providing the opportunity for me to discover that I can write a novel this way. Go NaNaWriMo!!

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

By taking on their challenge and surprising myself by achieving the goals they set.

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

I was so impressed with the organis ation I can't think of anything I'd like to see changed. They're a great mob.

Role:  General Member of the Public & I created characters, set them in a problematic landscape and followed them over a month, to a point where I can say they are the very guts of a novel.
