Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
I've taken part in NaNoWriMo twice now. The first time I started late, thought I wouldn't finished, and actually completed the challenge a week early. The second time I wrote 193,000 words. NaNoWriMo, for me, was the first time I'd ever finished anything longer than about 1500 words. It was the first time I wrote anything novel-length, and the first time I tried writing something without a plot first. It was fun, it was exciting, everybody was lovely and I had a novel at the end. The second time, I went to a couple of write-ins and found them amazing. I loved the atmosphere. NaNo helped me write that first draft. Perhaps I would have done it eventually, but probably not at the age of 13.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
... many ways! I've learned to write novels and I've now written six, and am working on another!
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would make NaNo run all year round for people like me who can't make deadlines.
