Review for National Novel Writing Month, Berkeley, CA, USA
I love this organization. 2010 marked my fourth year participating in National Novel Writing Month, and I had a blast. Thanks to the services the Office of Letters and Light provide I had the support of my community as well as friends I have made on other writing sites. Every year I've done this, I have written more than 50,000 words in the month of November. My daughter, who in my first year, 2007, said to me, "Mom, you just have to realize that I am not a writer." This last year, 2010, with no badgering from me, she asked me if she could try it. She was 12 at the time and participated in the Young Writer's Program. Her word count goal was 5000, and yes, she made it. I have bought merchandise through the store and have been satisfied with it, and I have donated to this organization.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The only change I would make is more servers to make the site easier to navigate. Of course if I could afford to gift them with the servers that would make that change easier. :D
