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

Rating: 5 stars  

The Office of Letters and Light is an amazing organization that not only teaches people about their ability to express themselves creatively, but more importantly( in my mind, at least) , shows people that if they are motivated, they can achieve seemingly impossible things.

This is a lesson that can make a major difference in every part of a person's life...

I have participated in two NaNoWriMos to date. I've not only achieved the 50,000 word first draft both times (to my amazement) but also watched person after person move out of doubt and into exhaultation as they crossed the deadline that they had started believing was so beyind their reach.

And if you can do the impossible, what other impossible things might be within your reach?

The Office of Light and Letters has taught me a lot about myself as a writer. I don't think that I would have published my first book last year without them. And it continues to do great things for a multitude of children and adults around the world. Cheerfully. Effectively. Amazingly

This is a great cause!

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

Increased writing skills. More determination and motivation to mak my dreams a reality. Publishing my first book. A new fellowship with other writers. And watching the positive effects the Office of Light and Letters has had on my fellow recipiants

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

Increase it's visibility so more people can benefit from it
