My Nonprofit Reviews

I had friends who spoke about NaNoWriMo for years before I got into it. As an amateur writer with seven unfinished novels floating around in my head, the concept of "30-days and nights of literary abandon" intrigued me like nothing else. However, when I first heard of it, 50,000 words was a tad too daunting for me to handle. But last year, I took the time to sign up, read, and poke around the sight. Right away other Wrimos welcomed me into their crazy world, and helped me gain the confidence to get started. Though i fretted and worried and pulled out nearly all my hair, (not really) I managed to win NaNoWriMo on my first try. It was amazing! I've never felt more fulfilled in anything else in my entire life!I hadn't told anyone I was doing NaNoWriMo, but after I had won and it was over I was so excited I went and told everyone I knew. Most people were like me, and couldn't grasp the concept of 50,000 words in 30 days, but most were supportive. I've since begun to edit my NaNoWriMo novel, and I'm filled with renewed vigor for all of my other ones. I have way more confidence as a writer now, something a paid-for instructor based writing course hasn't even been able to do. I can't thank the Office of Letters and Light enough!
