My Nonprofit Reviews

Cory
Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
I have participated in Nanowrimo 2 years in a row now, as well as got my kids involved. I also ran clubs at my kids schools. This program is wonderful and full of amazing, free resources. Personally, I wrote 2 novels in 2 years, something I previously had only dreamed of. The fun, quantity over quality approach really appealed to me - and it worked!! I love the encouragement, camaraderie, and resources available from this program.
My kids and their friends at school also loved the program. I was able to give them free writing resources from the site. They loved the dares on the young writers site and felt these helped them get past some writer's block. My seven year old now knows that he is a novelist - it has been great for his self esteem. He knows he can set a challenging goal and achieve it. The lessons leaned definitely spill over into other aspects of life.
