Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
I participated in (and "won")NaNoWriMo for the very first time this past November. It was a wonderful experience that encouraged me to finally make my dream of writing a priority. I am so thrilled with the program and the huge support system that NaNo offers. I hope to somehow expand my experience and begin my own Young Writer's program in my community. If I had this resource when I was younger, and the encouragment and cheering section that is built into the program, I would probably have finished many novels by now. The support and sport of the program has greatly increased my self confidence as a writer. One of the best parts of the program is that the support is constant; it starts well before the challenge and continues until the next one begins. It was an invaluable experience. Thank you, NaNoWriMo!
