Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
I participated in NaNoWriMo for the first time in my life in November of 2010. For years, friends told me that I "have a lot of words" and that I "should write a book".
Well, I've been thinking of retirement and know that I won't be able to life on whatever meager payments I get from my pension and social secuirty payments. I started to think about the things I enjoyed and top of the list was reading. I had done a little beta reading for a friend and she encouraged me to participate in NaNoWriMo and so I did.
I was so impressed with myselfl and the novel that I wrote that I decided to fine tune it and publish it. I will be out in early spring.
If it wasn't for my friend, who by the way, participates every year in NaNoWriMo, I never would have takenthe steps necessary to find out that this was something that I, not only enjoyed doing, but could actually see myself doing for the rest of my life.
This is a great service and I plan to not only participate every year, but to also make donations in order that I might help in whatever way I can to keep this going.
