Nano was an amazing experience for me. I finished my first draft at 11:30pm on November 30th half an hour before the deadline. Without Nano, I probably would never have completed my book. I was doing the challenge with a friend before we even started this project for class, and her encouragement was a massive factor in my success.
This conference provided a public community of writers that supported each other through the process and offered advice. There was a real sense of unity that I felt with this program and the motivation to finish along with them and get the purple banner of victory over my name was something I desperately wanted. Though I didn't actually make any specific friends through this program, I spoke with lots of my fellow writers about scenes and pieces of dialogue I could change.
There were local writing meeting held by this organization but I am sad to say I never made it to one. Looking back I wish I had, but regardless everything this taught me was a huge part of the learning process, and the mistakes I made are included in that.
