Hi Jessica, I just had a 1:1 session at the Apple Store last Sunday on this very topic. However, I am using Mountain Lion, but I would think that the concepts would be the same as in Mavericks. this is what I do and thanks to David he has answered one of my problems that occurred last weekend in navigating the date in the calendar.
Open the native calendar on your Mac. Everyone has their way of doing this. I preferred to open the doc with VO-D. and then type CA to get to the calendar. When the calendar opens, the title stated January. You need to interact with this and then use VO-right arrow or VO-left arrow to highlight the date you want to use. Next, I pressed VO-spacebar to open the date. It will state "New Event." I used my tab key once to get to the event edit field and interact with it using VO-Shift-down arrow and typed the name of the event. Next, tab over once and you will land on a pop-up button stating "event Details." You will need to interact with that with VO-Shift-down arrow. VO should state something like a list of 26 items. At this point, you can turn on QuickNav if you like by pressing the right and left arrows at the same time. For each item you will need to arrow over to the right and either interact with the edit field or press VO-spacebar to open the pop-up button. If you are in a pop-up list, arrow up/down to the item you want and then press enter. In the from to area, this is where you specify your time frames for your appointment. this can be tricky, but I equate the selection of the time like using the picker on the iPhone, but use the up arrow to change the number and when you tab over once use the up/down arrow to select AM or PM. Again, there are loads of tabbing, interacting, and selecting with VO-spacebar with the native calendar app on the Mac. When you have completed interacting with the "Event Details," stop interacting with it and tab over to the "Done" button and press VO-spacebar. this will save the appointment to the calendar. HTH.
