Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
I had heard about Office of Letters and Light's NaNoWriMo for several years and often thought about participating, usually about the second week of November so to late. This year I managed to mark my calendar and be ready to go on the first.
I will probably never be a published author but I can honestly say that I've written a 50,000 word novel in my lifetime. The sense of accomplishment that you get from completing this type of challenge stays with you through the year. I highly recommend that anyone that has ever dreamed of writing anything check out the community that OLL has built around NaNoWriMo and Script Frenzy. If you're a parent you really need to look into their Young Writers Program and see if you can get your child's school to participate. The encouragement and sense of accomplishment programs like this can provide your child are invaluable.

I'm not sure I would change things. It would be nice if they had more events and could add online writing seminars from some of the authors that they have send motivational emails during the events.
